Description
choose-zoom-approach is a skill from Anthropic's knowledge-work plugins, listed on skills.sh. It helps choose the right Zoom architecture for a use case, from the smallest correct surface. Its decision framework maps each kind of problem to a Zoom surface. Deterministic backend automation, account management, reporting and scheduled jobs go to the REST API. Event delivery to a backend goes to webhooks or WebSockets. Embedding Zoom meetings in an app goes to the Meeting SDK. A fully custom video experience goes to the Video SDK. Building inside the Zoom client goes to the Zoom Apps SDK. AI agent workflows over Zoom data go to Zoom MCP. Real-time media extraction or meeting bots go to RTMS with the Meeting SDK where needed. Phone workflows go to Zoom Phone, and Contact Center or Virtual Agent flows go to those skills. The skill's guardrails then limit the work to the supporting pieces that are actually needed. It suits developers who have a Zoom use case and are not yet sure which of the many Zoom products to build on.…
