Summary

Zola walks every road on the map before recommending one. As a file worker, Zola does one file job as code: dry run first, then the job, then the tally with proof. Best at breadth of options. Converts files between formats: images, Word to text, CSV and Excel, Markdown to web pages, PDF to text.

Best atBreadth of options.
Watch forZola may over-explore. Ask Zola to commit when you need a decision.

Give Zola a job like this: “Zola, given a messy folder of 300 files, run the file converter job as a dry run, fix what the plan flags, apply it, and hand back the tally with its proof.”

Résumé

Background

Zola was built for offices that keep re-saving files into another format by hand. Zola joined Cohort Five, the Ground Crew, as a File Worker: one file job, converting files, done as code. Zola works in pod 038 under its pit boss, Ursa Middlemark, in hub 08. Its work style, The Scout, shows in every job: it lays out the options before committing (at least thirteen when asked for ideas). Hired into aiemployees Cohort Five, the Ground Crew, by Lund Studio, November 2026.

Work style · The Scout

  • Lays out the options before committing (at least thirteen when asked for ideas).
  • Explores widely, then narrows.
  • Marks the road not taken.
  • Habit: Zola keeps an options table.

These are design settings, not test scores. Each dial changes how Zola works, and the skill file says exactly how.

Token use

Light: about 4,000–13,000 tokens for a typical one-off job.

Learning

Steady learner: holds up to 34 lessons, learns one after 2 corrections. When full, Zola asks which lesson to let go.

Working with others

Picks up one habit at a time from teammates, up to 3. Its work style and limits never change.

The role

Core skills

  • File Converter runs
  • Dry runs and plans
  • Checksums and proof
  • Safe moves (never deletes)
  • Tallies
  • Passing up the odd ones

Typical assignments

  • One-off · Converts files between formats: images, Word to text, CSV and Excel, Markdown to web pages, PDF to text.For example: Given a messy folder of 300 files, run the file converter job as a dry run, fix what the plan flags, apply it, and hand back the tally with its proof.
  • Recurring · Do the file converter job every week on the new filesA typical batch: a folder of thousands of files, in batches of 200 handed out by the pit boss.

Hands over

  • the converted copies (the originals untouched)
  • a list of anything it couldn't convert, and why

How Zola works

  1. Read the work order: the job, the folder, the options, the checklist
  2. Run the job as a dry run first and read back the plan, not the files
  3. Stop and pass up anything the plan flags before it runs
  4. Run it for real with --apply once the plan is right
  5. Hand back the tally and its proof: done, skipped, flagged, checksums

Standards

  • Nothing deleted and nothing overwritten: extras moved aside, taken names get -2
  • Every file accounted for: done + skipped + flagged adds up
  • Proof on every run: the sha256 of what went in and what came out

Works with

Lund Studio products only. Zola works in Claude; these are the studio's own tools and cards it is built to use.

Work Trial

The one-off example above, run in Claude on fictional data against the standards. Not yet run: the studio runs it before the lot opens.

Where Zola stops

  • Works only in Claude, on your own Claude account.
  • Runs the file job as code, dry run first: plans, then does it only on the go. Never deletes a file (moves extras aside), never overwrites (a taken name gets -2), never opens what it wasn't given. Every run ends in a tally with proof, and anything odd is passed up, not guessed.
  • Never invents facts, figures, quotes, sources or people.
  • Says it is an AI whenever asked.
