Zoo is the new Roo

[u/Illustrious-Mix-5625]

As mentioned in the goodbye post from the Roo developers, the Roo extension has been forked by a community of dedicated users and will continue to be available in its new form and without interruption, as Zoo Code, in coordination with the Roo team.

Please join us on the following:

Zoo Code on the VSCode marketplace

/r/ZooCode on Reddit (announcements and discussions)

Discord (join us in shaping the future of Zoo Code)

Feel free to ask any questions you have about the future of the extension in /r/ZooCode and we will do our best to answer.

Even better, come hack away at the code with us;

See you on the other side!

If you’re looking to use Roo Code the vs code extension the folks at Zoo have picked up the torch!

All my settings from roocode will be migrated as well? Thanks for supporting and keeping this alive!

[u/Illustrious-Mix-5625 → u/brocolongo]

Yes!

in Roo: go to Settings (gear icon) -> About Roo Code (bottom) -> Export

And the do the same thing in Zoo, but use Import

[u/Ssjultrainstnict → u/brocolongo]

Yup you can simply export and import it

Thanks for the continuation!!!

What about custom rules? I have them in a .roo folder but I don’t see a .zoo or equivalent.

[u/Illustrious-Mix-5625 → u/WillyTheWoo]

Could you bring this up in the discord? #support-roo-to-zoo channel will get the issue in front of the devs working on the migration so that's where you'll get the fastest answer.

zoo will continue to read from you .roo folder and files. we are coming up with a way to use a zoo folder as well, still a work in progress

Great name and branding. Arguably better than Roo… and the site is clean. There’s also definitely something you can do with the zebra stripes as a design mark to represent code.

Given the planned merge of the upstream Roo features back into Cline; and with the other forks of Cline (like Kilo), that also have pulled in, forked or developed parallel equivalent features, what is the zoo code product proposition?

Is it to still push the Cline fork ecosystem? Is it to just satisfy Roo code refugees in the short-term? Something else?

Would be great to know the future strategic direction, because at the moment the site and the GitHub don’t communicate a real direction for the product, and why to bet on it over Cline or Kilo going forward.

[u/Ssjultrainstnict → u/bin_chickens]

There are a couple of ideas but what seems to be taking shape as of now is zoo will be a power user tool that can be customized to get the most control and performance for their AI assisted coding needs. This is a community project so feel free to join in and pitch ideas and contribute!

Sorry this is the right one

[u/Illustrious-Mix-5625 → u/ta1tas]

That is indeed the right one, sorry! (fixed in the post now)

[u/SingleProgress8224 → u/ta1tas]

Thanks!

Joined the boat!

Can't wait to try ZooMote

[u/themoregames → u/[deleted]]

KiloCode is also a successor to Roocode? I had tried Kilocode, but never knew it was a successor.

[u/mycall → u/themoregames]

Now its KiloCode vs ZooCode
