Delegates tasks to Z.ai GLM-5.x via the stock claude binary and an endpoint swap.

  • Delegation-core selects GLM
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, When To Use, When NOT To Use and Prerequisites, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls claude, npm and uv; reaches api.z.ai; needs ZAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
  • A 1M-token context is needed

What it does

Glm Delegation is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Delegates tasks to Z.ai GLM-5.x via the stock claude binary and an endpoint swap. Use when delegation-core selects GLM or a 1M-token context is needed.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows. It works with Zhipu GLM. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Delegation-core selects GLM
  • A 1M-token context is needed

Example prompts

  • “Use the glm-delegation skill to delegate tasks to Z.ai GLM-5.x via the stock claude binary and an endpoint swap”
  • “/glm-delegation”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in ZAI_API_KEY
  • A credential in ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • claude
    • npm
    • uv
    • make

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.z.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • ZAI_API_KEY
    • ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN
    • ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Glm Delegation loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 460 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

GLM Delegation

Overview

GLM ships no CLI of its own. Z.ai serves an Anthropic-compatible endpoint, so the stock claude binary reaches GLM by changing two environment variables and nothing else. This is the endpoint-swap archetype: the redirection is environment, never argv.

GLM-5.3 was released on 2026-08-14 and claims a large coding gain over GLM-5.2 from post-training alone.

When To Use

  • delegation-core selected glm for the task
  • A 1M-token context is wanted through glm-5.3[1m]
  • A GLM Coding Plan subscription should absorb the work instead of the Anthropic quota

When NOT To Use

  • ZAI_API_KEY is unset. Verification refuses rather than sending an unauthenticated request
  • The claude binary is not installed. GLM has no fallback CLI
  • A pinned GLM-5.3 identifier is required in a script that must not break: see the rollout note below

Prerequisites

Installation

Only the stock Claude Code binary is needed:

bash
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
Authentication
bash
export ZAI_API_KEY="<your-zai-key>"

The delegation service builds the child environment from that one variable. Z.ai requires ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, not ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. Putting the key in the wrong one is the most common way to get a 401 here, so the service names the correct variable and the overlay references ${ZAI_API_KEY} rather than storing a secret.

Quick Start

Using the shared delegation executor
bash
uv run python scripts/delegation_executor.py glm "Review this design" \
  --files docs/
Through the Makefile
bash
make -C plugins/conjure delegate-glm PROMPT='Review this design'
Direct CLI usage
bash
ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic \
ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="$ZAI_API_KEY" \
claude --model glm-5.3 -p "Review this design"

Smart Delegation

glm declares code_execution and large_context strengths and ranks behind gemini, qwen and minimax in the candidate order. It declares glm-5.3 as its default, glm-5.3[1m] for large context, and glm-4.7 for fast response.

GLM-Specific Details

PropertyValue
Binaryclaude (stock)
Base URLhttps://api.z.ai/api/anthropic
Auth variableANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, from ZAI_API_KEY
Default modelglm-5.3
Large contextglm-5.3[1m]
OpenAI-compatible URLhttps://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4

The [1m] suffix is what unlocks the 1M-token window. Omitting it is a documented setup mistake. Pair it with CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=1000000 when driving claude directly.

Two operational notes. Environment changes only take effect in a freshly launched shell, so an already-open session keeps reaching Anthropic's real endpoint. And claude shows a first-run trust prompt when it sees a non-Anthropic base URL. The -p non-interactive form this service uses does not block on it.

Rollout caveat: at the time of writing, docs.z.ai/devpack/latest-model documented glm-5.3 while docs.z.ai/guides/llm/glm-5.3 still read "coming soon" and the base connection page still showed glm-5.2. GLM_52 stays defined for that reason, and glm-4.7 remains the fast-response id rather than being promoted on assumption.

The same archetype generalizes: MiniMax, Moonshot/Kimi, DeepSeek and OpenRouter all expose Anthropic-compatible endpoints, so adding one is a ServiceConfig with a different base URL.

Exit Criteria

  • claude resolves on PATH and answers claude --version
  • ZAI_API_KEY is set, and --verify reports the service available rather than naming an unset variable
  • The built command contains no z.ai URL: the endpoint travels in the child environment, not argv
  • The child environment carries ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, not ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
  • Output saved to delegations/glm/YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.md
  • This skill ran because delegation-core selected glm
