What it does
The repository of Easysoft, the developer of ZenTao (禅道), contains the `zentao-cli` skill. Through the `zentao` console utility an agent queries and changes project management data: programs, products, projects, iterations, requirements, bugs, tasks, test cases, test suites, plans, versions and releases. Examples show a user asking to create a feedback collection product and draft first requirements and a plan, review last week requirements, analyze a bug by number or assess how an iteration is going and what threatens it. The earlier `zentao-api` and `zentao-tour` skills were moved to `skills-deprecated`.
Who it is for. Product managers, testers and project leads in ZenTao who find it easier to ask an agent than to search the system sections.
Good fit when
- You need to learn which requirements were added this week and which are hardest.
- A bug number needs its essence, probable cause and fix explained.
- An iteration is running and its progress and threats must be assessed.
- A draft of requirements and a work plan is being built for a new product.
Not a fit when
- ZenTao is not in use: the skill works with that system only.
- Agent actions in a live system cannot be reviewed: the authors advise manual review.
- Read-only access with no way to change data is needed: the utility can modify data too.
Example request

The skill is experimental and the authors strongly advise reviewing every agent action by hand, API calls included. The utility changes data in the live ZenTao system, so grant minimal rights. An installed and configured `zentao` console client with access to your server is required. Documentation and the skill description are in Chinese. The old `zentao-api` and `zentao-tour` skills are outdated and unmaintained, `zentao-cli` is current.
How to disable. Remove the `zentao-cli` skill from the agent skills directory. Data already changed in ZenTao stays in the system, roll it back with ZenTao tools.
