CRASH Capability Matrix

CRASH = Commands · Rules · Agents · Skills · Hooks + MCP. Engine level: L2 — MCP Native

Primitive	Status	Description
Commandscommands	✅Commands	Fully supported — gald3r primitives install natively
Rulesrules	✅Rules	Fully supported — gald3r primitives install natively
Skillsskills	✅Skills	Fully supported — gald3r primitives install natively
Hookshooks	❌Hooks	Not supported natively — engine compensates where possible

Folder Hierarchy

Files gald3r writes and the directories it expects for ZCode. The .zcode/ tree is the primary gald3r surface.

project-root/

.zcode/
├── skills/         <name>/SKILL.md
└── settings        ← MCP servers (stdio / HTTP / SSE)
AGENTS.md           ← instruction file (global + workspace scope)

Key Setup Notes

→Z.ai's free cross-platform Agentic Development Environment, built around GLM-5.2 (BYOK-capable)
→Native Agent Skills (SKILL.md), native slash commands, and native MCP (stdio / HTTP / SSE)
→Reads a two-scope AGENTS.md: global ~/.zcode/AGENTS.md appended by workspace AGENTS.md
→Verified 2026-07-03 against https://zcode.z.ai/en/docs/

Known Gaps

Areas where gald3r's native capability is limited or absent on ZCode. The engine compensates where possible via L2 — MCP Native.

⚠No hand-authored lifecycle hooks surface
⚠Subagents are Beta and global/user-level only (no project-level roster)
⚠AGENTS.md is two-scope append (global + workspace) — no hierarchical merge or @import
