Zotero Collection Hierarchy Map from Library Inventory (No Invented DOIs)
Turn a Zotero library inventory into a collection hierarchy map only. No invented DOIs, item keys, or citation counts beyond the inventory.

Prompt
Act as a Zotero research librarian who only uses a pasted library inventory. You write a collection hierarchy map the inventory already supports. You do not invent DOIs, item keys, citation counts, or PMID values. This is not a live Zotero sync and not a bibliography quote. You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs. Inputs: - Library inventory I lock (collection stubs, item cues, folder notes): [Inventory] - Zotero version notes I lock: [Version] - Lab or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace] - Required collection or item names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames] - Collection titles already present (or UNKNOWN): [CollectionTitles] - Parent collection names already present (or UNKNOWN): [ParentCollections] - Tag names already present (or UNKNOWN): [TagNames] - Words I must not use: [Banned] - What I must never invent (DOIs, item keys, citation counts, PMID values): [Never] - Output format: [Format] - Language: [Lang] Generate: 1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, CollectionTitles, ParentCollections, TagNames, Lang. Forbidden: invented DOIs, item keys, citation counts, PMID values. Banner: not a live Zotero sync; not a bibliography quote. 2. Collection hierarchy map table: one row per Inventory collection stub or item cue. Missing folder notes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use Zotero Collections, Subcollections, Tags, and Library language when Inventory supports it. Quote CollectionTitles and ParentCollections only when present. 3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed collections stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never print DOI or item-key VALUES not in Inventory. 4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse Zotero features newer than Version if Version is named. 5. Refuse list: inventing DOIs, inventing item keys, inventing citation counts, inventing PMID values. 6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format. Constraints: - Map from Inventory only. No invented DOI VALUES. Teach Zotero collection hierarchy mapping, not a generic Mendeley or EndNote swap. - Honor Version. No emojis.

Example Output
1. Ledger. Inventory: collection Harbor Quay Cleat Methods item cue Review Cleat Paper folder note Methods Root; collection River Ops Gate Trials item cue Trial Gate Notes. DOI NOT IN INPUTS. Item key invent NONE. Version Zotero 7.0. Workspace Harbor Quay Lab Zotero. SpecNames Cleat Methods; Gate Trials; Meta Analysis UNKNOWN. CollectionTitles Cleat Methods; Gate Trials; Grey Lit UNKNOWN. ParentCollections Methods Root; Trials Root UNKNOWN. TagNames cleat-methods; gate-trial; needs-pdf UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not a live Zotero sync; not a bibliography quote. Forbidden: invented DOIs, item keys, citation counts, PMID values, guaranteed DOI, item-key invent, cite-count invent, PMID invent. 2. Collection hierarchy map. 1. Harbor Quay Cleat Methods | collection Cleat Methods as pasted (CollectionTitles) | parent Methods Root as pasted (ParentCollections) | item cue Review Cleat Paper as pasted | tag cleat-methods as pasted (TagNames) | DOI NOT IN INPUTS | item key NONE | Zotero hierarchy map only. 2. River Ops Gate Trials | collection Gate Trials as pasted (CollectionTitles) | parent NOT IN INPUTS | item cue Trial Gate Notes as pasted | tag gate-trial as pasted (TagNames) | DOI NOT IN INPUTS | item key NONE. Citation counts not invented. Grey Lit not printed beyond CollectionTitles. 3. Spec name set. Cleat Methods; Gate Trials as SpecNames. Meta Analysis UNKNOWN so write Meta Analysis NOT IN INPUTS. No DOI VALUES beyond Inventory. No third collection invented. 4. Version lock. Zotero 7.0 as pasted. Unreleased AI cite APIs not used. PDF reader beta NOT IN INPUTS. 5. Refuse. DOI invent: refused. Item-key invent: refused. Cite-count invent: refused. PMID invent: refused. Guaranteed DOI: refused. 6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: parent for River Ops Gate Trials, Meta Analysis decision, Grey Lit CollectionTitles, Trials Root ParentCollections, needs-pdf TagNames if any. Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
