What start does

start acts as the entry skill for Zoom work. It sorts a request by the job to be done, then routes to guidance for product selection, OAuth setup, meeting apps, bots, or integration debugging. It brings in references for REST API, Meeting SDK, Video SDK, and other Zoom components once the workflow is chosen.

The routing helps separate Meeting SDK from Video SDK, and REST API from SDKs. When the request could follow different paths, the skill asks a brief clarifying question; its first response should give an actionable architectural direction before adding implementation detail. To install through Codex, run npx skills add openai/plugins --skill start -a codex; the skill file is at .agents/skills/start/SKILL.md.

What it helps with

choose a Zoom product for a new project
configure OAuth, tokens, and app scopes
plan a customized Zoom meeting flow
build a bot for recording or processing meetings
debug a broken Zoom integration

Example prompts for the agent

# 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) |
| 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)

## 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.
