GitHub

1 min read Original article ↗

A skill for coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) that maps slash commands to zerostack, a lightweight CLI coding agent.

Delegates coding, planning, reviewing, and complex orchestration tasks from your agent to zerostack with precise CLI invocations.

Quick reference

Command Purpose
/zs:code <task> Implement or fix code
/zs:ask <question> Answer a question (no file writes)
/zs:plan <task> Produce a step-by-step plan
/zs:review [focus] <target> Review code, diff, or PR
/zs:parallel <task> Isolated worktree coding task
/zs:orchestrate <task> Multi-sub-agent complex task

Install

Copy the use-zerostack/ directory into your agent's skills directory.

Prerequisites

zerostack must be installed and a provider configured. If zerostack is missing:

# via Homebrew
brew tap gi-dellav/tap
brew trust gi-dellav/tap
brew install zerostack

# via Cargo
cargo install zerostack

# without using a package manager
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gi-dellav/zerostack/main/install.sh | bash

Set at least one API key (e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY) in your environment or in zerostack's configuration file.

Trigger phrases

The skill activates on any of these:

  • /zs:code, /zs:ask, /zs:plan, /zs:review, /zs:parallel, /zs:orchestrate
  • "run zerostack", "delegate to zs", "use zs to ..."
  • Any mention of zerostack as the executor
