# Zoom General (Cross-Product Skills)

Background reference for cross-product Zoom questions. Prefer the workflow skills first, then use this file for shared platform guidance and routing detail.

## How `zoom-general` Routes a Complex Developer Query

Use `zoom-general` as the classifier and chaining layer:

1. detect product signals in the query
2. pick one primary skill
3. attach secondary skills for auth, events, or deployment edges
4. ask one short clarifier only when two routes match with similar confidence

Minimal implementation:

```ts
type SkillId =
  | 'zoom-general'
  | 'zoom-rest-api'
  | 'zoom-webhooks'
  | 'zoom-oauth'
  | 'zoom-meeting-sdk-web-component-view'
  | 'zoom-video-sdk'
  | 'zoom-mcp';

const hasAny = (q: string, words: string[]) => words.some((w) => q.includes(w));

function detectSignals(rawQuery: string) {
  const q = rawQuery.toLowerCase();
  return {
    meetingCustomUi: hasAny(q, ['zoom meeting', 'custom ui', 'component view', 'embed meeting']),
    customVideo: hasAny(q, ['video sdk', 'custom video session', 'peer-video-state-change']),
    restApi: hasAny(q, ['rest api', '/v2/', 'create meeting', 'list users', 's2s oauth']),
    webhooks: hasAny(q, ['webhook', 'x-zm-signature', 'event subscription', 'crc']),
    oauth: hasAny(q, ['oauth', 'pkce', 'token refresh', 'account_credentials']),
    mcp: hasAny(q, ['zoom mcp', 'agentic retrieval', 'tools/list', 'semantic meeting search']),
  };
}

function pickPrimarySkill(s: ReturnType<typeof detectSignals>): SkillId {
  if (s.meetingCustomUi) return 'zoom-meeting-sdk-web-component-view';
  if (s.mcp) return 'zoom-mcp';
  if (s.restApi) return 'zoom-rest-api';
  if (s.customVideo) return 'zoom-video-sdk';
  return 'zoom-general';
}

function buildChain(primary: SkillId, s: ReturnType<typeof detectSignals>): SkillId[] {
  const chain = [primary];
  if (s.oauth && !chain.includes('zoom-oauth')) chain.push('zoom-oauth');
  if (s.webhooks && !chain.includes('zoom-webhooks')) chain.push('zoom-webhooks');
  return chain;
}
```

Example:

- `Create a meeting, configure webhooks, and handle OAuth token refresh` ->
  `zoom-rest-api -> zoom-oauth -> zoom-webhooks`
- `Build a custom video UI for a Zoom meeting on web` ->
  `zoom-meeting-sdk-web-component-view`

## Planning Checkpoint: Rivet SDK (Optional)

When a user starts planning a server-side integration that combines auth + webhooks + API calls, ask this first:

- `Rivet SDK is a Node.js framework that bundles Zoom auth handling, webhook receivers, and typed API wrappers.`
- `Do you want to use Rivet SDK for faster scaffolding, or do you prefer a direct OAuth + REST implementation without Rivet?`

Routing after answer:

- If user chooses Rivet: chain `rivet-sdk` + `oauth` + `rest-api`.
- If user declines Rivet: chain `oauth` + `rest-api` (+ `webhooks` or product skill as needed).

### SDK vs REST Routing Matrix (Hard Stop)

| User intent | Correct path | Do not route to |
|-------------|--------------|-----------------|
| Embed Zoom meeting in app UI | `zoom-meeting-sdk` | REST-only `join_url` flow |
| Build custom web UI for a real Zoom meeting | `zoom-meeting-sdk-web-component-view` | `zoom-video-sdk` |
| Build custom video UI/session app | `zoom-video-sdk` | Meeting SDK or REST meeting links |
| Get browser join links / manage meeting resources | `zoom-rest-api` | Meeting SDK join implementation |

Routing guardrails:
- If user asks for SDK embed/join behavior, stay in SDK path.
- If the prompt says **meeting** plus **custom UI/video/layout/embed**, prefer `zoom-meeting-sdk-web-component-view`.
- Only use `zoom-video-sdk` when the user is building a custom session product rather than a Zoom meeting.
- Only use REST path for resource management, reporting, or link distribution unless user explicitly requests a mixed architecture.
- For executable classification/chaining logic and error handling, see [references/routing-implementation.md](references/routing-implementation.md).

### API vs MCP Routing Matrix (Hard Stop)

| User intent | Correct path | Why |
|-------------|--------------|-----|
| Deterministic backend automation, account/user configuration, reporting, scheduled jobs | `zoom-rest-api` | Explicit request/response control and repeatable behavior |
| AI agent chooses tools dynamically, cross-platform AI tool interoperability | `zoom-mcp` | MCP is optimized for dynamic tool discovery and agentic workflows |
| Enterprise AI architecture (stable core + adaptive AI layer) | `zoom-rest-api + zoom-mcp` | APIs run core system actions; MCP exposes curated AI tools/context |

Routing guardrails:
- Do not replace deterministic backend APIs with MCP-only routing.
- Do not force raw REST-first routing when the task is AI-agent tool orchestration.
- Prefer hybrid routing when the user needs both stable automation and AI-driven interactions.
- MCP remote server works over Streamable HTTP/SSE; use this path when the target client/agent supports MCP transports (for example Claude or VS Code).
- Do not design per-tenant custom MCP endpoint provisioning; Zoom MCP endpoints are shared at instance/cluster level.
- Source: https://developers.zoom.us/docs/mcp/library/resources/apis-vs-mcp/

### Ambiguity Resolution (Ask Before Routing)

When a prompt matches both API and MCP paths with similar confidence, ask one short clarifier before execution:

- `Do you want deterministic REST API automation, AI-agent MCP tooling, or a hybrid of both?`

Then route as:
- REST answer → `zoom-rest-api`
- MCP answer → `zoom-mcp`
- Hybrid answer → `zoom-rest-api + zoom-mcp`

### MCP Availability and Topology Notes

- Zoom-hosted MCP access is evolving; docs indicate a model where Zoom exposes product-scoped MCP servers (for example Meetings, Team Chat, Whiteboard).
- Use `zoom-mcp` as the parent MCP entry point.
- Route Whiteboard-specific MCP requests to **[zoom-mcp/whiteboard](../zoom-mcp/whiteboard/SKILL.md)**.
- When a request is product-specific and MCP coverage exists, route to that MCP product surface first; otherwise use REST/SDK skills for deterministic implementation.

### Webhooks vs WebSockets

Both receive event notifications, but differ in approach:

| Aspect | webhooks | zoom-websockets |
|--------|---------------|-----------------|
| Connection | HTTP POST to your endpoint | Persistent WebSocket |
| Latency | Higher | Lower |
| Security | Requires public endpoint | No exposed endpoint |
| Setup | Simpler | More complex |
| Best for | Most use cases | Real-time, security-sensitive |
