ZCF is a unified command-line environment manager that initializes, configures, and orchestrates multiple AI coding assistants within a single interface. It provides structured workflows for development, manages parallel Git worktrees, integrates Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and routes AI requests across multiple API providers to avoid vendor lock-in.
The tool distinguishes itself by enabling parallel development streams through Git worktrees, allowing simultaneous work on multiple branches with natural language control. It supports task-based model routing that selects the most appropriate AI provider per task, and offers a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring and configuration of routing rules. Configuration management includes snapshot-based backups for safe rollback, and the interface supports bilingual display in both Chinese and English.
Additional capabilities include automated document generation from templates, semantic code search, multi-engine web search, and team template sharing. Environment setup is handled through a single command or interactive wizard, with extensive customization options for output style, status bar themes, and tool behavior.
