New

  • "Check" shows the written words against the planned length and lists sections that are too long (more than 20 % over their plan). Shorten has the language model tighten a section to its planned length without adding anything new – citations and verbatim quotations stay unchanged or are dropped; Shorten all does this for all of them. The outline shows the words actually written next to each section's word count.
  • The target length is explained: it refers to the text with headings and citations; the bibliography and the "Literature search method" appendix come on top (Word's word count includes them).

Fixed

  • Length of literature reviews: language models wrote much more than planned (e.g. about 2,400 instead of 1,600 words). Each section's word count from the outline is now a binding upper limit in the writing prompt; if a section runs long, the following ones get correspondingly less room (down to at most 60 % of their plan).

Install (Windows)

Download ZotLLM-Setup-1.0.1.exe below and run it (per user, no admin rights). Check the download against ZotLLM-Setup-1.0.1.exe.sha256. The installer is built by GitHub Actions from the source code of this release and is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen warns ("Unknown publisher"): click More info → Run anyway. If that option is missing (e.g. on managed PCs), right-click the file → Properties → tick Unblock → OK, then start it again.

Then enable Zotero's local API (Zotero → Settings → Advanced) and follow the setup checklist.

Please note

  • ZotLLM is vibe-coded: it was written by Claude (Anthropic) in Claude Code and tested in daily use, not reviewed line by line by a human developer.
  • Use it as a tool, not as a replacement for your own scholarly work – read the sources, verify critically and do not submit generated text as your own. See the README section on the risk of deskilling.
  • ZotLLM is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Zotero or the Corporation for Digital Scholarship. Zotero is a registered trademark of the Corporation for Digital Scholarship.
