name: design-mcp-workflow description: Design a Zoom MCP workflow for Claude. Use when deciding whether Zoom MCP fits a task, when planning tool-based AI workflows, or when separating MCP responsibilities from REST API responsibilities. user-invocable: false
Design MCP Workflow
Use this skill when the user wants Claude or another MCP-capable client to interact with Zoom via tool calls instead of only deterministic API code.
Covers
- MCP fit assessment
- REST API vs MCP boundaries
- Hybrid architectures
- Connector expectations
- Whiteboard-specific MCP routing
Workflow
- Decide whether the problem is agentic tooling, deterministic automation, or both.
- Route MCP-only tasks to zoom-mcp.
- Route hybrid tasks to both zoom-mcp and rest-api.
- If Whiteboard is central, route to zoom-mcp/whiteboard.
- Call out transport, auth, and client capability assumptions explicitly.
Common Mistakes
- Using MCP for deterministic backend jobs that should stay in REST
- Treating MCP as a replacement for all API design
- Ignoring client transport support and auth requirements

data-visualization
Pick the right chart and generate publication-quality Python visualizations with built-in design and accessibility best practices.
code-review
Review code changes for security, performance, and correctness. Trigger with a PR URL or diff, "review this before I merge", "is this code safe?", or when checking a change for N+1 queries, injection risks, missing edge cases, or error handling gaps.
documentation
Write and maintain technical documentation. Trigger with "write docs for", "document this", "create a README", "write a runbook", "onboarding guide", or when the user needs help with any form of technical writing — API docs, architecture docs, or operational runbooks.
build-dashboard
Build an interactive HTML dashboard with charts, filters, and tables. Use when creating an executive overview with KPI cards, turning query results into a shareable self-contained report, building a team monitoring snapshot, or needing multiple charts with filters in one browser-openable file.
task-management
Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.
memory-management
Two-tier memory system that makes Claude a true workplace collaborator. Decodes shorthand, acronyms, nicknames, and internal language so Claude understands requests like a colleague would. CLAUDE.md for working memory, memory/ directory for the full knowledge base.
