  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads choose-zoom-approach automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Choose Zoom Approach

Pick the smallest correct Zoom surface for the job, then layer in only the supporting pieces that are actually required.

Decision Framework

Guardrails

  • Do not recommend Video SDK when the user actually needs Zoom meeting semantics.
  • Do not recommend Meeting SDK when the user needs a fully custom session product.
  • Do not replace deterministic backend automation with MCP-only guidance.
  • Prefer hybrid rest-api + zoom-mcp when the user needs both stable system actions and AI-driven discovery.
