# Zoo/Roo Code Configuration Backup

**Owner:** Patrick Plate  
**Created:** 2026-06-24  
**Source:** Work machine (`~/.roo/` global config)  
**DO NOT SHARE** — this is personal configuration with work-specific content in `work/`.

---

## What This Contains

A complete backup of the Roo Code / Zoo Code AI assistant configuration, split into two variants:

### `work/` — Full Unsanitized Archive

Complete copy of `~/.roo/` from the work machine, including:
- 16 custom modes (PAISY-specific: planner, jira-ops, reviewer, doc-gen, security-reviewer, plan-reviewer, paisy-cobol)
- 24 skills (PAISY pipeline: assessment, plan, testplan, code-review, security-review, SSH deploy, etc.)
- 15 custom tools (TypeScript/JS)
- Full rule set with PAISY patterns, ADP Wiki references, SEC-* security rules
- Memory bank (guidelines, product, tech stack docs)

**Use case:** Restoring the full work setup on a new work machine, or as reference.

### `home/` — Sanitized, Home-Ready

Generic version with all ADP/PAISY/work-specific content stripped:
- 5 custom modes (orchestrator, skill-writer, mode-writer, tool-writer, visual-qa)
- 13 skills (generic: code-review, create-pr, create-worktree, testplan, sprint-report, etc.)
- 15 custom tools (all generic — Maven, git, Playwright, Snyk, brew, etc.)
- 4 rule files (identity, BigMind, MCP tools, visual-verify)
- Rules for mode-writer and skill-writer

**Use case:** Installing on the home machine for personal projects. Zero work data leakage.

### `roo-code-settings.json` — Full Work Settings Export

Raw settings export from the work instance. Contains proxy URLs and internal config — for reference only.

### `roo-code-settings.home.template.json` — Home Settings Template

Ready-to-use settings file with:
- Placeholder API keys (`<YOUR_API_KEY_HERE>`)
- Tiered model routing (Thinker/Coder/Plumber)
- Provider instructions for Anthropic, OpenRouter, and local Ollama
- Pre-configured mode→model assignments
- Sensible defaults for auto-approval, context management, etc.

## When to Refresh This Backup

- After adding new custom modes
- After adding/modifying skills
- After adding new custom tools
- After significant rules changes
- Before machine migration

**How to refresh:**
```bash
cd /Users/pplate/git/personal/pi_mcps/zoo_backup
rm -rf work/
rsync -a --exclude='.roomodes.bak' ~/.roo/ work/
# Then re-run sanitization for home/ if needed
```

| Feature | Work | Home |
|---------|------|------|
| Modes | 16 (incl. PAISY-specific) | 5 (generic) |
| Skills | 24 (incl. COBOL, SSH, security) | 13 (generic dev workflow) |
| Rules | PAISY patterns, SEC-* rules, ADP Wiki | Generic BigMind + MCP + git |
| Memory bank | PAISY product/tech/guidelines | None (start fresh) |
| Settings | Corporate proxy gateway | Direct API / OpenRouter / Local |
| Jira project | ESIDEPAISY | Any project |
| Language | German (payroll domain) | User's choice |

## License / Sharing

This is Patrick's personal configuration. It contains:
- **`work/`**: ADP-proprietary content — NEVER share externally
- **`home/`**: Generic tooling — safe to share as a starter template if desired
- **Settings template**: No secrets — safe to share as example config
