How to package in .zab?

How do I compile in .zab instead of .zip .zpk or .bin?
Is there any tool or method that is more practical than using the Zeus CLI?
I structured and assembled it manually for manifest.json for the Zepp console and it did not accept it.
I am engaged in this issue, as I have been working on the development for months and seeking to innovate both in resources and aesthetics.

Thanks a lot

I am using the Watch Face Editor(ZeppOS) provided by the great SashaCX75

I think they make a blank watch face in the official editor and export it to .zab. Then in it they change the existing .zpk file to the .zpk file created in my editor.

When using Zeus CLI, it also creates an empty watch face and then pastes the code from the watch face created in the editor into it. But I think the structure is a bit different there. That's why you can't just copy the whole code. They copy only separate functions and paste them into the corresponding places of the blank blank. Then compile the project.

I personally used the method with Zeus CLI. But I only used the editor of the correct one for positioning elements on the screen. And then wrote all the additional code.

The .zab and .zpk files are actually .zip archives. So you can easily open them and replace individual elements.
