# Zimster

> A software development workflow for coding agents. Zimster keeps one implementation owner responsible while adding planning, specifications, test-driven development, debugging, selective delegation, risk-based review, model routing, and verification when the work calls for them.

Zimster 0.7.2 is the current Public Beta. It supports Codex, Claude Code, Grok, OpenCode, Pi, Kimi Code, and portable skills-only use.
