## Overview
Zsh is the interactive shell of choice for most developers: best-in-class completion, powerful globbing, shared history, spelling correction, and a prompt system that shows git state, exit codes, and timing at a glance. It's the default on macOS and the upgrade most Linux users make within a week.
Zsh's power comes with configuration surface — plugins, frameworks, and options that can slow startup to a crawl if unmanaged. This skill covers interactive mastery (completion, history, prompt), sane plugin management, and the scripting differences from bash that bite when scripts assume one or the other.
## When to use
- Setting up or tuning an interactive zsh environment.
- Fixing slow shell startup.
- Writing zsh completion or customizing completion behavior.
- Choosing a prompt theme or plugin manager.
- Writing scripts that must run under zsh vs bash.
- Debugging quoting/globbing differences from bash.
