Description

Adds ZCode as an installer host in both installers, alongside the existing seven hosts:

  • scripts/install.sh --zcode (or --hosts zcode, included in --all detection via ~/.zcode)
  • bun scripts/install.ts --hosts zcode

ZCode discovers user-scope skills from ~/.zcode/skills/ and slash commands from ~/.zcode/commands/, so the host installs exactly those two surfaces with the standard manifest-tracked uninstall (user-created skills are preserved). Agents and hooks are intentionally not installed — ZCode loads both from plugins only, so copying them into ~/.zcode would be dead weight. This also avoids ~/.agents/skills, which the Codex fallback path already claims.

Install shape per host follows the existing conventions: skills copied from skills/ (minus common-patterns, matching Claude), commands from commands/*.md, .xpowers-version marker, .xpowers-manifest for uninstall, plus detect/validate/uninstall/status parity in install.sh and a data-driven entry in the install.ts HOSTS[] array.

Checklist

  • I have read the project AGENTS.md and followed the coding style guidelines.
  • I have added or updated tests for any new or changed functionality (3 new tests in tests/install-script.test.js: install + status, uninstall preserves user skills, bun installer; all green).
  • I have updated relevant documentation (README.md host list + ZCode section, CHANGELOG.md Unreleased, AGENTS.md host overview, tm-docs-contract pinned host list).
  • node scripts/sync-codex-skills.js --check passes (no skills changed).
  • npm run lint passes.
  • node --test tests/*.test.js — 474/478 pass. The 4 failures are pre-existing on main (verified by stashing this branch's changes and re-running: bun installer pins br and bv…, bun installer treats failed br and bv downloads…, Pi installed runtime resolves execute-ralph…, and the Pi fallback-runner module resolution). This branch introduces no new failures.
  • npm run test:ci-local not run in full locally (it includes the pre-existing bun failures above).
  • npm audit --audit-level=moderate — no dependency changes in this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added ZCode as a supported developer host.
    • Installers can add ZCode skills and slash commands, report installation status, and safely uninstall tracked files.
    • Added ZCode detection, validation, version tracking, and CLI support.
    • ZCode installations exclude agents and hooks.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the README, project overview, and changelog with ZCode installation, update, restart, and limitation details.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ZCode installation, status reporting, manifests, uninstall behavior, and host support.

ZCode discovers user-scope skills in ~/.zcode/skills/ and slash commands
in ~/.zcode/commands/. This adds zcode to both installers (install.sh
--zcode / --hosts zcode, and bun scripts/install.ts --hosts zcode) with
detect/install/validate/uninstall/status parity to the other hosts.
Agents and hooks are intentionally not installed: ZCode loads them from
plugins only.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb64d

The new ZCode support can leave shell and Bun installers with conflicting ownership records, which may delete recreated user skills during uninstall or leave stale cleanup state. The Bun path also copies non-Markdown command entries that the shell installer excludes. Merge should wait for these bounded installer-consistency issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Pull request overview

Adds ZCode as a first-class installer host across both the Bash and Bun installers, aligning docs/tests so ~/.zcode/skills and ~/.zcode/commands can be installed/uninstalled via the standard manifest flow (without installing agents/hooks for ZCode).

Changes:

  • Add zcode host support to scripts/install.sh (detect/install/validate/uninstall/status + CLI flags).
  • Add zcode host entry to scripts/install.ts (data-driven HOSTS[] config + CLI help update).
  • Update docs and tests to include ZCode in supported host lists and installer behavior.

ZCode discovers the skills and `/commands` at session start, so restart any open sessions after installing. ZCode loads agents and hooks from plugins only, so those XPowers surfaces are not part of this host install.

P1 Badge Replace existing skill directories during reinstall

When --zcode is rerun for an upgrade, every ${home}/skills/${name} destination already exists. Per cp --help, this invocation is treated as the SOURCE... DIRECTORY form, so copy_item executes cp -R "$src" "$dest" and creates a nested ${name}/${name} directory rather than updating the existing skill; reproducing two installs leaves the old top-level SKILL.md alongside test-driven-development/test-driven-development/SKILL.md, so ZCode continues loading the stale version. Replace the managed destination first or copy the source contents into it.

P2 Badge Read the TypeScript manifest when uninstalling ZCode

When ZCode was installed with bun scripts/install.ts --hosts zcode, ownership is recorded only in ~/.xpowers/manifest.json by install.ts, but this path reads only ~/.zcode/.xpowers-manifest. Consequently, a later documented install.sh --hosts zcode --uninstall --yes reports that no manifest exists, exits unsuccessfully, and leaves all managed files behind. Add the same JSON-manifest interoperability used for Kimi Code or otherwise delegate this uninstall path.

Reconcile ZCode ownership when users switch installers.

The shell installer writes ~/.zcode/.xpowers-manifest. The Bun installer records ZCode only in ~/.xpowers/manifest.json. Neither lifecycle updates or removes the other record.

If a user switches installers, uninstalls with the second installer, recreates a skill with an XPowers-managed name, and then runs the first installer uninstall, the stale manifest can recursively delete that recreated user skill. The reverse order leaves the Bun manifest stale too.

  • scripts/install.sh#L1228-L1256: reconcile or invalidate the global ZCode manifest entry when the shell installer takes ownership.
  • scripts/install.sh#L1543-L1547: do not apply a stale per-host manifest after ownership moved to the Bun installer.
  • scripts/install.ts#L546-L558: add ZCode lifecycle handling that reconciles the per-host shell manifest.
  • tests/install-script.test.js#L2466-L2495: add shell-to-Bun and Bun-to-shell install/uninstall regression tests with recreated user content.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Filter ZCode commands to Markdown files.

Line 555 has no pattern, so the Bun installer copies every top-level entry in commands/. The shell installer copies only commands/*.md. Set pattern: "*.md" to keep both installers aligned with the ZCode slash-command contract.

     sources: {
       skills: { from: "skills", exclude: ["common-patterns"] },
-      commands: { from: "commands" },
