Model Configuration (Option 5): Configure your default Claude model with flexible options:
- Default: Let Claude Code automatically choose the best model for each task
- Opus: Use Claude-3.5-Opus exclusively (high token consumption, use with caution)
- OpusPlan: Use Opus for planning, Sonnet for implementation (recommended balance)
- Custom: Specify your own model names for both primary and fast tasks (supports any custom model)
AI Memory Configuration (Option 6): Personalize your AI assistant:
- AI Output Language: Set the language for AI responses (Chinese, English, or custom)
- Global Output Style: Configure AI personality and response style
npx zcf i # Execute full initialization directly: Install Claude Code + Import workflows + Configure API + Set up MCP services
# or
npx zcf → select 1 # Execute full initialization via menu
npx zcf u # Update workflows only: Quick add AI workflows and command system
# or
npx zcf → select 2 # Execute workflow update via menu
Note:
- Since v2.0,
zcf
opens the interactive menu by default, providing a visual operation interface- You can choose operations through the menu or use commands directly for quick execution
zcf i
= full initialization,zcf u
= update workflows only
ZCF supports bilingual operation with automatic language switching for all commands:
# Use Chinese for all operations
npx zcf --lang zh-CN # Interactive menu in Chinese
npx zcf init --lang zh-CN # Initialize with Chinese interface
npx zcf ccr --allLang zh-CN # Configure CCR in Chinese
# Language parameter priority (highest to lowest):
# --all-lang > --lang > saved user preference > interactive prompt
Language Parameters:
--lang, -l
: ZCF interface language (applies to all commands)--all-lang, -g
: Set all language parameters at once (most convenient)--config-lang, -c
: Template files language (init/update commands only)--ai-output-lang, -a
: AI assistant output language (init command only)
For CI/CD and automated setups, use --skip-prompt
with parameters:
# Shorthand version
npx zcf i -s -g zh-CN -t api_key -k "sk-xxx" -u "https://xxx.xxx"
# Complete version
npx zcf i --skip-prompt --all-lang zh-CN --api-type api_key --api-key "sk-xxx" --api-url "https://xxx.xxx"
When using --skip-prompt
, the following parameters are available:
Parameter | Description | Values | Required | Default |
---|---|---|---|---|
--skip-prompt, -s |
Skip all interactive prompts | - | Yes (for non-interactive mode) | - |

No | en |
--all-lang, -g |
Set all language parameters (applies to all commands) | zh-CN , en , custom string |
No | - (Priority: allLang > lang > user preference > prompt. Custom string sets AI output language to custom while interaction and config languages remain 'en') |
--config-action, -r |

ZCF now supports customizable AI output styles to personalize your Claude Code experience:
Available Output Styles:
engineer-professional
: Professional software engineer following SOLID, KISS, DRY, YAGNI principlesnekomata-engineer
: Professional catgirl engineer UFO Nya, combining rigorous engineering with cute catgirl traitslaowang-engineer
: Laowang grumpy tech style, never tolerates code errors and non-standard code- Built-in styles:
default
,explanatory
,learning
(always available)
Features:
- Install multiple styles and switch between them
- Set global default style for all projects
- Automatic cleanup of legacy personality files
- Template-based customization system
Usage Tips:
- Use
/output-style
command to switch project-level output styles anytime - Or modify global output styles in ZCF menu option 6
Important:
- Claude Code version must be greater than 1.0.81 to support output-style. Use
npx zcf check
to update. - Legacy global memory rules have been migrated to the
engineer-professional
output style, solving issues with excessive token usage and AI forgetting global memory.
BMad (BMad-Method: Universal AI Agent Framework) is an enterprise-grade workflow system that provides:
- Complete team of specialized AI agents (PO, PM, Architect, Dev, QA, etc.)
- Structured development process with quality gates
