Install

Zzza ships as a CLI and a VS Code extension. They share the same manifest (slice.jsonc) so the CLI and UI always stay in sync.

Install the CLI

Recommended Install globally so zzza is available anywhere.

npm i -g zzza

zzza init
zzza add core src/index.ts
zzza group core green
zzza build

This creates slice.jsonc and generates slice_context.md.

zzza --version
zzza --help
zzza list slices

If you just installed, restart your terminal if zzza isn’t found.

Use the extension to manage slices and groups without leaving your editor.

• Open VS Code
• Extensions → search: “zzza”
• Install

Once installed, look for the Zzza view in the Activity Bar.

• One group per slice
• Explicit group assignment
• CLI and UI stay in sync (same slice.jsonc)
