Key capabilities

  • →Follow `.zoo/zoo.md` workflow
  • →Log events to task file
  • →Conduct research via subagents
  • →Split work into subtasks
  • →Perform tiered parallel reviews
  • →Generate screenshots and input/output examples

How it works

The skill follows a spec-driven workflow, logging events to a task file, conducting research, splitting work into subtasks, performing reviews, and generating evidence before committing code.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
task file (`.spec/YYYYMMDD-<task>.md`) and subtask details
You get back
updated task file, research files, evidence (screenshots, examples), and committed code

When to use zoo

  • →Implement features using Zoo workflow
  • →Run collaborative spec reviews
  • →Document subtask research

About zoo

Follows a structured workflow for research, spec definition, and TDD-based implementation. Features tiered parallel review gates and evidence-based reporting for every subtask.

Lightweight spec-driven workflow: collaborative spec, top-level TDD implementation, tiered parallel review gate, one commit per subtask. Use only when explicitly requested.

When not to use it

  • →When not explicitly requested to use the Zoo workflow
  • →When not needing a spec-driven workflow
  • →When not requiring tiered parallel review gates

Limitations

  • →Requires a `.zoo/zoo.md` file for workflow definition
  • →Task file (`.spec/YYYYMMDD-<task>.md`) is central to the workflow
  • →Screenshots must be real and representative

How it compares

This skill enforces a structured, spec-driven workflow with explicit research, subtasking, and tiered reviews, which is more formalized than ad-hoc development.
