Pragmatic Zig abstraction-design workflow for coding agents. Use when designing, reviewing, simplifying, or refactoring Zig APIs that use comptime generics, type-returning functions, structural duck typing, error unions, optionals, tagged unions, function pointers, vtables, interface-like structs, allocator or IO dependencies, public contracts, test seams, or Zig 0.15/0.16 abstraction and std.Io migration tradeoffs.
Production Zig engineering guidance for coding agents. Use when writing, reviewing, debugging, refactoring, testing, packaging, or migrating Zig code, especially around allocator ownership, error handling, std library version drift, build.zig/build.zig.zon, cross-compilation, C interop, performance, safety, security, and Zig 0.15/0.16-era patterns as of 2026-05-13.
Zig build-system and package-management workflow for coding agents. Use when creating, reviewing, debugging, or migrating build.zig, build.zig.zon, package dependencies, build steps, check/test/fuzz/bench steps, generated files, install artifacts, release archives, cross-target builds, CI build matrices, local package overrides, Zig package fingerprints, or Zig 0.15/0.16 build API drift.
Current Zig ecosystem and tooling gap assessment workflow for coding agents as of 2026-05-13. Use when evaluating Zig adoption risk, dependency hygiene, package management, ZLS/editor behavior, compiler or stdlib regressions, pre-1.0 API churn, cross-platform support tiers, unofficial package indexes, toolchain pinning, CI matrices, or mitigation plans for Zig 0.15/0.16-era ecosystem gaps.
Zig memory-safety review and implementation workflow for coding agents. Use when writing, reviewing, debugging, or refactoring Zig code that touches allocators, ownership, lifetimes, slices, pointers, arenas, unsafe casts, parser buffers, FFI buffers, leak detection, double-free/use-after-free risks, safety-checked illegal behavior, ReleaseFast safety assumptions, or Zig 0.15/0.16 memory API drift.
