Transcribe an audio file to text via `zdx transcribe` (speech-to-text). Use when the user explicitly hands you a specific audio file/path/attachment and asks for its text — e.g. "transcribe this file", "what does this recording say", or "get the text from this audio".
Use when the user wants another named model to perform a task, or wants to fan out one prompt across models or reasoning levels. Trigger on phrases such as 'ask Opus to review this', 'fan this out', 'compare GPT and Gemini', or 'test this model on low and max'. Supports single-model dispatch, parallel model panels, and paired model/reasoning benchmarks.
Create or update a skill (a SKILL.md-format module that extends an agent's capabilities). Use when the user wants to make a new skill, refactor an existing one, capture a repeatable workflow as auto-invoked guidance, or says "create a skill for X", "turn this into a skill", or "update the X skill". Works for any SKILL.md target (zdx, Anthropic Claude apps, etc.) and covers skill-vs-alternatives choice, frontmatter rules, save locations, per-step structure, and the draft-then-confirm-then-write flow.
Generate spoken audio from text via `zdx speak` (text-to-speech). Use when the user explicitly asks for audio/voice output — narration, voiceover, a spoken clip, a pronunciation read (e.g. "send the pronunciation of X as audio", "manda em áudio"), or an accessibility read. Outputs an OGG/Opus voice note by default. Not for transcription (that is automatic).
Generate and edit images. Saves the image and prints the exact path it wrote. Use when the user wants any visual creative output, an image generated from a description, or wants to modify an existing image in any way — editing, transforming, or adding visual elements.
Record zdx TUI/CLI demos as GIFs, screenshots, or videos with VHS for the README. Use when the user asks to record or regenerate a zdx demo, add a feature clip, or says "record the TUI", "regenerate demo.gif", "make a GIF of the tabs feature", "screenshot the context overlay", or "add a demo for a feature". Covers the locked recording settings, the NO_COLOR gotcha, tape layout under docs/tapes, and rendering into docs/assets.
Create a ship-first (ship-shaped) implementation plan with demoable MVP phases. Use when a user asks for an implementation plan, MVP plan, shipping plan, or wants to break down a feature into incremental, demoable phases. Emphasizes user journey order and daily-usable increments over polished completeness.
Cut a new zdx release. Use when the user asks to release, cut a release, ship a version, publish a build, bump the version, or generate release notes / changelog for zdx. Orchestrates version bump, changelog, and dispatching the manual GitHub Release workflow.
