What it does

“Use when starting Zoom work.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill classifies Zoom integration requests by their underlying job and routes the agent to the appropriate implementation workflow. It prevents confusion between Zoom products like Meeting SDK versus Video SDK by understanding what the user actually needs to build before recommending a specific tool or API.

When to use it

  • Starting work on a new Zoom integration or feature
  • Unclear which Zoom product or API fits the use case
  • Need architectural guidance before diving into implementation
  • Avoiding common mistakes between SDK and API choices

When not to

  • Already decided on specific Zoom product and ready to code
  • Detailed technical troubleshooting of an existing implementation

1. Download that folder at exactly this commit. Do not use the default branch.
2. Copy every file unchanged, keeping the folder structure, into .claude/skills/start/ for Claude Code and .agents/skills/start/ for Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode. Create the folders if they do not exist.
3. Do not edit the files, and do not run any script in the folder unless I ask you to.
4. When you are done, list the files you copied and where you put them.

# Start

Use this as the default entry skill for the plugin.

## What This Skill Does

- Classifies the request by job-to-be-done, not by product name alone
- Routes into the right implementation skill
- Pulls in product-specific Zoom references only after the route is clear
- Prevents common early mistakes, especially Meeting SDK vs Video SDK and REST API vs SDK confusion

## Routing Table

| If the user wants to... | Route to |
|---|---|
| Choose the right Zoom surface for a new project | [plan-zoom-product](../plan-zoom-product/SKILL.md) |
| Create, select, or validate a Zoom Marketplace app or manifest | [setup-zoom-marketplace-app](../setup-zoom-marketplace-app/SKILL.md) |
| Set up OAuth, tokens, scopes, or app credentials | [setup-zoom-oauth](../setup-zoom-oauth/SKILL.md) |
| Embed or customize a Zoom meeting flow | [build-zoom-meeting-app](../build-zoom-meeting-app/SKILL.md) |
| Build a bot, recorder, or real-time meeting processor | [build-zoom-bot](../build-zoom-bot/SKILL.md) |
| Debug a broken integration | [debug-zoom](../debug-zoom/SKILL.md) |

## Supporting Zoom References

Use these only after selecting the workflow:

- [general](../general/SKILL.md)
- [rest-api](../rest-api/SKILL.md)
- [meeting-sdk](../meeting-sdk/SKILL.md)
- [video-sdk](../video-sdk/SKILL.md)
- [webhooks](../webhooks/SKILL.md)
- [websockets](../websockets/SKILL.md)
- [oauth](../oauth/SKILL.md)
- [Marketplace app management](../rest-api/references/marketplace-apps.md)

## Operating Rules

1. Prefer one clear recommendation over a product catalog dump.
2. Ask a short clarifier only when the route is genuinely ambiguous.
3. Keep the first response architectural and actionable, then go deep.
4. Pull in deeper references only when they directly help the current decision or implementation.
