zoo-code-integration

A Specsmith governance procedure for using Zoo Code or Roo Code in a controlled repository. It separates planning, coding, command execution, review, and governance checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps configure project-local rules and MCP access, start sessions with required files and checkpoints, and use separate roles for planning, editing, debugging, and review.
Why use it?
It prevents the same model that writes a change from being the only one approving it and makes the agent’s work easier to inspect.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

zoo-code-integration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Zoo Code — Specsmith Governance Integration

Use this skill when working in Zoo Code or Roo Code on a Specsmith-governed repository.

Goal

Make Zoo/Roo behave like a governed local engineering agent, not an unconstrained chat assistant.

The required pattern is:

Architect plans
Coder edits
Debug/Tool runs and parses commands
Reviewer critiques
Specsmith preflight/verify/trace gates the work

The model that writes a patch must not be the only model that approves it.

Required local project files

Project-local Zoo/Roo integration lives in .roo/:

  • .roo/mcp.json — repo-local MCP server registration for specsmith-governance
  • .roo/specsmith-rules.md — mandatory agent protocol for Zoo/Roo
  • .roo/modes.local.json — project-local reference mode definitions
  • .roo/global-settings.copy-to-zoo-code.json — copyable global Zoo Code/OpenAI-compatible provider settings

Only .roo/mcp.json and .roo/specsmith-rules.md are intended to be active project files. Global provider/model settings must be copied into Zoo Code global settings by the operator.

Session start

  1. Read AGENTS.md and .roo/specsmith-rules.md.
  2. Call the MCP tool governance_checkpoint.
  3. Call governance_phase and governance_req_list before changing code.
  4. Summarize the current phase, failing checks, relevant requirements, and permitted scope.

Before any code change

Call governance_preflight with one sentence describing the intended change.

Do not edit files unless the decision is accepted.

If the decision is needs_clarification, ask a narrow question or reduce the change scope.

If the decision is rejected, stop and report why.

During implementation

Follow role separation:

  • Architect mode may plan and inspect but should not directly edit production code.
  • Code mode may edit only within the accepted preflight scope.
  • Debug/Tool mode should run safe commands and parse outputs; it should not make large edits.
  • Review mode should read diffs, requirements, and tests; it should not rewrite the patch unless explicitly promoted.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

zoo-code-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository layer1labs/specsmith (7 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 839 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
