lit-sync

Use when references in a .bib file (often from /search-lit) should land in Zotero and Obsidian. Syncs them to the Zotero library, writes Obsidian literature notes and extracts cross-cutting concept notes once enough accumulate. A folder of PDFs is /obsidian-paper-vault.

# Literature Sync: Zotero + Obsidian Pipeline

Takes the `.bib` output of `/search-lit` (or any user-specified .bib file), synchronizes the
references into the Zotero library and Obsidian literature notes, and extracts cross-cutting
concept notes once enough literature notes accumulate.

## Prerequisites

- **Project owner only.** Collaborators consume the committed `manuscript/_src/refs.bib` snapshot
  read-only. If the current user is a collaborator (no Zotero access per `SSOT.yaml`
  `reference_manager.required_for`), abort with instructions to flag `[@NEW:topic]` placeholders in
  the manuscript and notify the owner.
- Zotero desktop 7.x + Better BibTeX plugin, with Better BibTeX "Keep updated" auto-export
  configured to `<project>/manuscript/_src/refs.bib`.
