When a user manually adds the tag '#done' to an item in Zotero, I want a Zotero Actions & Tags rule to automatically remove the tag '#reading'. Provide the exact JSON rule object.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The rule specifies tag_added as the event | Missed | Passed |
| The condition checks for tag equality to #done | Passed | Passed |
| The action type is remove_tag for #reading | Missed | Passed |

Zotero Actions & Tags is a powerful Zotero plugin that enables workflow automation through event-triggered actions. Define custom rules that execute when items are added, modified, opened, or tagged — such as auto-tagging by collection, running scripts on PDF open, auto-renaming attachments, or sending notifications. Transforms Zotero from a passive reference manager into an active research workflow engine.
