What it does
ZCF is an interactive CLI that rolls out a ready configuration for Claude Code and Codex instead of hand-editing files. The npx zcf command opens a menu where you can install the agent itself, add workflows, set up API access or a model router and connect MCP servers. It ships command, subagent and skill templates in English, Chinese and Japanese, including the BMAD method and planning and development sets. A non-interactive mode takes flags for provider presets and keys, and separate commands update only the workflows or check versions. Settings are written into the agent's configuration and the interface language switches with a flag.
Who it is for. For developers who want a predictable Claude Code or Codex setup fast, without manual configuration.
Good fit when
- You are setting up Claude Code or Codex from scratch and do not want to edit configs by hand
- You need one set of workflows, subagents and skills across several machines
- You need to switch providers quickly or wire up a model router and MCP
Not a fit when
- You already have your own agent configuration and do not want it changed
- You need a single specific skill or MCP server, not an installer
Example request
Set up Claude Code for me with workflows and my provider using zcfLimitations
ZCF configures third-party tools, so the result depends on the versions of Claude Code and Codex and can lag their updates. Some features need keys and paid providers that you connect yourself. During setup it writes into the agent's configuration, so it is worth checking what it changes.
How to disable. Run npx zcf and choose uninstall, or remove the files it added from the agent configuration, for example under ~/.claude/.
FAQ
Do I need to install the package globally?
No, npx zcf is enough; it downloads and opens the menu.
Which agents does it work with?
Claude Code and Codex, plus the Claude Code Router for switching models.

README in short
The README presents ZCF as a setup tool for Claude Code and Codex without manual configuration, with a bilingual interface and an agent system. The main entry is npx zcf with an interactive menu, plus commands for full initialization, workflow updates and language switching. There is a non-interactive mode with provider presets via flags. Full documentation lives on a separate site. The project is MIT licensed and actively developed.
