+# Zip Utility (zip)
+
+Installs zip and unzip CLI tools for compression and extraction.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```json
+"features": {
+    "ghcr.io/jajera/features/zip:1": {}
+}
+```
+
+## Options
+
+This feature has no configurable options.
+
+## Description
+
+This feature installs the `zip` and `unzip` command-line utilities for creating and extracting ZIP archives. The installation is compatible with multiple Linux distributions and package managers including:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu**: Uses `apt-get`
+- **RHEL/CentOS/Fedora**: Uses `yum`/`dnf`
+- **Alpine Linux**: Uses `apk`
+- **Arch Linux**: Uses `pacman`
+- **openSUSE**: Uses `zypper`
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ Cross-platform support for major Linux distributions
+- ✅ Automatic package manager detection
+- ✅ Retry logic for package updates
+- ✅ Privilege escalation handling (sudo when needed)
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling
+- ✅ Installation verification
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+After installation, you can use the zip utilities:
+
+```bash
+# Create a zip archive
+zip archive.zip file1.txt file2.txt
+
+# Extract a zip archive
+unzip archive.zip
+
+# View zip archive contents
+unzip -l archive.zip
+
+# Create zip with compression
+zip -9 archive.zip file.txt
+
+# Extract to specific directory
+unzip archive.zip -d /target/directory
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+The feature automatically verifies successful installation by:
+
+- Checking if `zip` command is available
+- Checking if `unzip` command is available
+- Running version checks for both utilities
