build-zoom-bot

Build Zoom Bot is a routing and architecture reference skill for creating automation that joins Zoom meetings, records or captures media, and reacts to live session data. It addresses the design phase of meeting-bot projects: deciding how a bot joins, whether it observes or acts, and how live media and transcripts flow through backend services, before any implementation detail is chosen.

The skill frames a short workflow: clarify whether the bot needs to join, observe, transcribe, summarize, or act; route the core implementation to the Meeting SDK and RTMS (real-time media streaming); add REST API for meeting/resource management and Webhooks for asynchronous events when needed; and surface environment and lifecycle constraints early. It points to companion skills (`meeting-sdk`, `rtms`, `scribe`, `rest-api`, `webhooks`) as the deep references and calls out common mistakes such as conflating batch transcription with live media, designing before defining join authority and the auth model, and forgetting post-meeting storage and retry behavior.

It targets developers building Zoom meeting bots, recorders, or real-time media workflows who need an orientation layer that assigns each concern to the right SDK or API. Rather than shipping code, this is a thin dispatcher SKILL.md that establishes bot architecture, join strategy, and event flow, then hands off to the specialized Zoom plugin skills. It is best used at the start of a project to avoid architectural dead ends.
