About plan-zoom-product

This is a lightweight planning skill that helps a user choose the right Zoom building surface for a given use case and explain the tradeoffs clearly. It addresses a common early decision point: deciding between Zoom REST API, Webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Phone, Contact Center, or MCP for a specific product idea or integration goal.

The workflow is a structured decision process: identify the user's actual goal, classify whether the problem is automation, embedded meetings, custom video, in-client app behavior, event delivery, AI tooling, or support/phone/contact-center work, ask one short clarifier if the request is ambiguous, then recommend the primary Zoom surface plus the minimum supporting pieces, explain why the rejected alternatives are worse, and end with a concrete next-step plan. The output is a recommendation with supporting components, key tradeoffs and constraints, a suggested implementation sequence, and links to the relevant follow-on skills.

It targets developers and product teams at the scoping stage of a Zoom integration who need orientation before committing to an architecture. It is a non-user-invocable routing/advisory helper with no executable code — purely a planning and decision-support guide that hands off to more detailed Zoom skills.

FAQ

What does this skill decide?

Which Zoom building surface to use — REST API, Webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, Phone, Contact Center, or MCP — for a specific product idea or integration goal.

What does the output include?

A recommended Zoom surface, required supporting components, key tradeoffs and constraints, a suggested implementation sequence, and links to relevant next-step skills.

Does it write any code?

No. It is a planning and decision-support workflow that produces a recommendation and hands off to more detailed skills such as start, choose-zoom-approach, and design-mcp-workflow.

What happens if my request is ambiguous?

The workflow asks one short clarifying question before locking in a recommendation.

Can I invoke it directly?

It is marked `user-invocable: false`, so it is intended to be routed to as part of a larger Zoom planning flow rather than called on its own.
