Quick brief

ZCF is a zero-install CLI for preparing Claude Code and Codex workspaces. An operator runs `npx zcf` or `npx zcf init` to install or detect the target coding CLI, configure API/provider settings, add MCP services, import workflow prompts, set output styles, and create backups before configuration changes.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Use this when a team or solo developer needs a repeatable setup path for coding-agent machines, onboarding, language preferences, workflow templates, MCP services, or periodic prompt/workflow refreshes. It is especially useful when the same agent workflow needs to be recreated across local machines, WSL, CI scripts, or fresh development environments.

The boundary is the agent-environment bootstrap and maintenance workflow: initialize, update, switch configuration, install selected workflows, and verify toolchain versions for Claude Code or Codex. This is not a generic npm package listing, API relay, model provider card, or broad AI coding product recommendation.

Inputs and prerequisites: Node.js 22+, npm/npx, Claude Code or Codex CLI target environment.

Setup notes: Run npx zcf for the interactive menu, npx zcf i for full initialization, npx zcf i -T codex for Codex setup, or npx zcf u to update workflow templates.

Source and verification boundary: use http://zcf.ufomiao.com/ as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.

Framework fit: publish this as a Multi-Framework workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
