From GitHub's daily star counts.

Checked 15 Oct 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

ZCF is an npx-run CLI that sets up Claude Code and Codex: it installs the tools, writes workflow and agent configuration, and configures API providers or CCR and MCP services. It has an interactive menu plus non-interactive flags such as `npx zcf i -s -p 302ai -k "sk-xxx"`, and supports English, Chinese and Japanese interfaces. Detailed usage lives in the external docs site.

Who it is for: Claude Code and Codex users who want a scripted, preconfigured setup

Strengths

Single `npx zcf` entry point, no manual install step
Non-interactive mode with provider preset and key flags for scripted setup
Covers both Claude Code and Codex, including workflow updates via `zcf u`
Interface available in English, Chinese and Japanese

Weaknesses

README gives little detail on what workflows or agents are installed
Requires Node.js and your own API key or provider account
README is mostly sponsor promotions for API relay services
Full usage and options only in external documentation

What it needs

no GPU
Needs Node.js (npx), Claude Code or Codex, API provider key
Models: Claude, Codex, 302.AI preset

How to choose

Check which agent it targets and whether it works with the version you run.
Read what it adds to every prompt; big rule sets cost tokens on each call.
Prefer add-ons you can turn off per project.
