What it is​

ZSK and ZXY are tracked as ZSK-related embroidery format leads. The relationship between the extensions is not verified in Satin Studio.

Satin Studio direction​

Research lead only.

Versions and variants​

Do not assume ZSK/ZXY are variants of DSZ or DST until files prove the relationship.

File identification notes​

Exact structure is unverified here.

Observed structure notes​

  • ZXY/ZSK remain low-confidence ZSK-family leads. Do not infer DST, DSZ, or TAP compatibility by extension.
  • Known support planning needs signatures, header sizes, command maps, and machine/software provenance.

Structure sketch​

ZSK/ZXY are low-confidence leads. Do not infer DSZ or DST compatibility without files.

struct ZskZxyCandidate<'a> {
    // Signature, header, and command encoding are unverified.
    raw: &'a [u8],
}

What we still need​

Known ZSK files, extension mapping, and reader validation.
