# /build-zoom-bot
Use this skill for automation that joins meetings, captures media, or reacts to live session data.
## Covers
- Bot architecture
- Meeting join strategy
- Real-time media and transcript handling
- Backend orchestration
- Storage, post-processing, and event flow design
## Workflow
1. Clarify whether the bot needs to join, observe, transcribe, summarize, or act.
2. Route to Meeting SDK and RTMS as the core implementation path.
3. Add REST API for meeting/resource management and Webhooks for asynchronous events when needed.
4. Call out environment and lifecycle constraints early.

## Common Mistakes
- Treating batch transcription and live media as the same workflow
- Designing the bot before defining join authority and auth model
- Forgetting post-meeting storage and retry behavior

Use when you have a written implementation plan to execute in a separate session with review checkpoints
