Introduction
Zest measures how your team actually uses AI — and spreads what works.
Get started
- 1
Install a plugin. One command in your coding agent.
- 2
Code like normal. Nothing changes about how you work.
- 3
Check the dashboard tomorrow. Your first sessions will be scored.
Free for 3 seats. No credit card. Jump to plugins.
How it works
Capture — The plugin records each agent session locally: prompts, model, skills, tool calls, duration.
Redact — Secrets and sensitive strings are stripped on your machine, before anything is sent.
Sync — Sanitized sessions upload to your workspace in the background.
Analyze — Zest scores each session and links it to the pull request it produced.
Share — The dashboard, standups and CheatCodes push what worked back to the team.
You never write anything down. The plugin is the only setup step.
What Zest measures
AI time
Measured seconds your agents spent working, per engineer.
Models and harnesses
Which ones your team actually reaches for.
Prompts and skills
The planning prompts behind your best sessions.
PR throughput
Sessions tied to merged pull requests, via the GitHub integration.
Per engineer, per team, over time — so a practice that works for one person stops living in one person's head.
Plugins
Install as many as you use. Sessions from every agent land in the same workspace.

Click "Connect GitHub". GitHub asks which organization to install into and which repositories to grant access to. Zest reads pull requests, commits and metadata — it never writes to your code.
Your code stays yours
Redaction runs locally, before upload.
/zest:ignoreturns tracking off for a folder./zest:privacyshows exactly what gets redacted./zest:disablestops syncing entirely.

Standups — Written from measured work, not memory.
CheatCodes — The prompts and skills your top performers keep reusing.
