## Capabilities

- Guides users through ZenTao by role: Product Manager, Project Manager, QA, Developer, or Executive
- Runs real zentao-cli commands to create products, stories, tasks, bugs, and test cases
- Adapts conversation flow based on user choices and progress
- Shows status transitions for tasks, bugs, and stories in real ZenTao data
- Provides natural language error handling with user-friendly explanations
- Supports both local CLI and MCP \(Model Context Protocol\) integration

## Use Cases

- First-time ZenTao user exploring the platform: A new team member wants to understand how ZenTao works before diving in. They start the tour, pick their role, and follow a guided path that shows them real commands and data in their own ZenTao instance.
- Developer practicing task and bug workflows: A developer uses the skill to practice claiming tasks, updating status, and resolving bugs. They get hands-on experience with the zentao-cli tool before actual sprint work begins.
- Team lead demonstrating ZenTao to stakeholders: A project manager invites stakeholders to explore ZenTao from the Executive perspective, viewing project health, bug distribution, and release status without making any changes.

## Prompt Templates

## Limitations

- Requires an active ZenTao instance with API access
- Does not modify ZenTao server configuration or user permissions
- Cannot access private projects without proper credentials
- Read-only mode available for Executive role; full CRUD for other roles

## Best Practices

- Start by identifying your role \(PM, Dev, QA, Executive\) to get a targeted tour experience
- Use the tour to explore one module thoroughly rather than rushing through all modules
- Take notes on specific zentao-cli commands you want to remember for later use

## Anti Patterns

- Do not ask the skill to perform administrative operations on ZenTao server configuration
- Avoid using the skill to test with production data without proper backup procedures
- Do not share credentials or tokens when prompted by the skill to log in

## Security Audit

- - Safe to publish: true
- - Audited at: 2026-04-27T06:21:39.004\+00:00
- - Summary: Evaluated 205 static findings across 7 files \(760 lines\). All patterns are legitimate documentation artifacts: backtick syntax in markdown code blocks showing zentao-cli commands, official product URLs \(zentao.net\), and relative documentation links. No malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection detected. Risk factors present are standard CLI tool characteristics.
