ZCF - Zero-Config Code Flow

One-Minute Overview#

ZCF is a zero-configuration tool that allows developers to set up Claude Code and Codex with just one click, featuring bilingual support, an intelligent agent system, and a personalized AI assistant. It's particularly suited for developers who want to quickly integrate AI coding tools into their workflow without complex configurations.

Core Value: Simplifies the setup process for AI coding tools, allowing developers to focus on coding rather than environment configuration

Quick Start#

Installation Difficulty: Low - Installation is simple via npx command with an interactive menu guide

# Recommended: Opens interactive menu and guides you through install/update
npx zcf

# Common commands:
npx zcf i        # Full initialization: install + workflows + API/CCR + MCP
npx zcf u        # Update workflows only
npx zcf --lang zh-CN  # Switch interface language (example)
