ZeroShot Desktop

ZeroShot Desktop is the native app for ZeroShot. It reads local coding-agent sessions, shows usage and friction patterns, helps you browse work across repositories and teammates, and turns repeated workflows into reusable skills.
ZeroShot works locally when you are signed out. Sign in when you want organization-wide session browsing, hosted usage, teammate sessions, or remote sync.

​
Core Areas

Insights

Review work breakdowns, friction-heavy sessions, and codebase hotspots from real local session data.

Usage

See usage by model, repository, branch, and person, including token burn-down views when provider limits are available.

Sessions

Browse local, synced, and teammate sessions. Resume a cloud-only session when the related repository exists locally.

Skills

Browse ZeroShot skills, detect updates, review generated skill proposals, and install repository-specific skills.

​
Onboarding

ZeroShot onboarding starts by helping you choose local Git repositories. It prioritizes repositories with recent Codex or Claude Code activity and falls back to a broader scan when needed. During onboarding, ZeroShot can:
  • Import the first batch of recent sessions so you see value quickly
  • Continue importing the rest in the background
  • Generate skill proposals once enough sessions are available
  • Keep selected repositories scoped so sync and analysis stay focused

​
Local and Remote Sync

ZeroShot combines local import and remote upload into one sync flow:
  • Local mode indexes Codex and Claude Code sessions on this machine.
  • Signed-in mode syncs selected repository sessions to BuildBetter so you can browse across machines and teammates.
  • Repository-scoped sync uploads only sessions from selected repositories.
  • Hourly sync keeps local and remote evidence fresh.
If a cloud session belongs to a repository you have locally, use Resume to continue that session from your current machine.

​
Rewind and Archetypes

The Rewind experience summarizes your recent coding-agent activity across selected repositories. It includes:
  • Usage and signal story screens
  • Multi-repo onboarding context
  • A deterministic work-style archetype based on real local session activity
  • Shareable archetype cards with downloadable artwork and copy-to-clipboard support
Shot Notch adds a lightweight macOS menu bar experience with:
  • Recent session cards
  • In-place chat preview
  • Quick access to the full Sessions page
  • Settings and display toggles

​
Skills and Proposals

ZeroShot can discover repeated local workflows and propose repository-specific skills. Review proposals from the skill discovery inbox, then install the ones that are useful. Skill discovery:
  • Ranks candidates from imported session evidence
  • Avoids duplicate suggestions
  • Clears suggestions after you act on them
  • Tracks installed versions and available updates

​
Privacy

ZeroShot is local-first. When signed out, local sessions, signals, usage, and skills stay on your machine. When signed in, sync is scoped to selected repositories and uses your BuildBetter account permissions.
