What is zoteus?
- zoteus is a vector database, retrieval, or RAG storage component for AI applications.
- Best fit: Developers connecting knowledge bases, documents, or app data to semantic retrieval or RAG workflows.
- Not for: Not for one-off model API calls or environments that cannot isolate indexed data, credentials, and persistence paths.
- Capability added to an AI workflow: Vector database setup checks, embedding model boundaries, collection management, query acceptance, and deletion guidance
- First safe verification step: Verify create, query, delete, and rollback with a small public text sample before using real data.
- Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
- Top risk: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
- Evidence base: https://github.com/oscardvs/zoteus, https://github.com/oscardvs/zoteus#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

Preflight checks
Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.- The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
- Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
- This English page is indexable because the locale quality gate passed and explicit English index approval is enabled.
- Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.

Pitfall Log and verification risks
Doramagic surfaces high-risk items before users treat a candidate capability as verified.Configuration risk requires verification
May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user.
Configuration risk requires verification
Developers may misconfigure credentials, environment, or host setup: update_item / create_items cannot write array-valued fields (creators, tags, collections) — Zotero rejects with "property must be an array"
