zoom-general

The zoom-general skill is a cross-product reference and routing layer for the Zoom developer platform. It solves the problem of choosing among Zoom's many overlapping surfaces (REST API, webhooks, WebSockets, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, Zoom Apps SDK, RTMS, Cobrowse, Contact Center, Phone, Team Chat, MCP) by acting as a classifier that detects product signals in a developer's query, picks one primary skill, and attaches secondary skills for authentication, events, or deployment concerns.

Its core is a routing pattern illustrated with TypeScript that detects signals such as custom meeting UI, custom video, REST API usage, webhooks, OAuth, and MCP, then builds an ordered skill chain (for example, creating a meeting plus webhooks plus OAuth refresh routes to zoom-rest-api, then zoom-oauth, then zoom-webhooks). Beyond routing, it collects shared platform guidance: app-model comparisons, authentication and scopes, marketplace considerations, known limitations and quirks, and a large library of use-case guides spanning recording pipelines, transcription bots, server-to-server OAuth automation, embedding, immersive experiences, contact center, and more. It includes runnable reference architectures, such as a Node.js orchestrator that creates meetings via server-to-server OAuth and verifies inbound webhook signatures with HMAC-SHA256.

The example code is security-conscious in a standard way: credentials come from environment variables (account ID, client ID, client secret, webhook secret), tokens are cached with expiry, and webhook signatures are verified before processing events. Intended users are developers building on Zoom who need help choosing the right product surface and want shared platform context and use-case blueprints. It is the classifier and chaining layer of the broader Zoom partner plugin.
