sd-export	Export citations as RIS/BibTeX/text, push to Zotero	/sd-export S0957417426005245 format: zotero

Agent

sd-researcher — orchestrates all 8 skills. Handles Cloudflare captcha detection (auto-clicks or pauses for manual resolution), and supports multi-step workflows like "search → detail → export to Zotero → download PDF".

Installation

1. Install Chrome DevTools MCP server

claude mcp add chrome-devtools -- npx -y chrome-devtools-mcp@latest

2. Install ScienceDirect skills

git clone https://github.com/cookjohn/sd-skills.git
cd sd-skills
cp -r skills/ agents/ .claude/

Or add to an existing project:

git clone https://github.com/cookjohn/sd-skills.git /tmp/sd-skills
cp -r /tmp/sd-skills/skills/ your-project/.claude/skills/
cp -r /tmp/sd-skills/agents/ your-project/.claude/agents/

3. Configure anti-detection (recommended)

Add to your .claude.json to prevent Cloudflare captcha loops on PDF downloads:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chrome-devtools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest",
        "--ignoreDefaultChromeArg=--enable-automation",
        "--ignoreDefaultChromeArg=--disable-infobars",
        "--chromeArg=--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled"
      ]
    }
  }
}
