What it does

Glm Master Skill is an agent skill from zai-org/GLM-skills. Documentation-only master skill for GLM ecosystem discovery and installation. This skill does not execute scripts or subprocess commands. It provides a curated list of official GLM skills, install methods, and source links.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Documents & Office. The repository describes itself as: Official skills for the GLM family of models. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Documents & Office work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/glm-master-skill”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in ZHIPU_API_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Wait and retry after reset time.
  2. Install from the official GitHub skill directory directly.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ecd31c. 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:

    • npx
    • git

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com
    • bigmodel.cn
    • docs.bigmodel.cn

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

  • Credentials

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

    • ZHIPU_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Glm Master Skill loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:124
    to your `.gitignore` if storing it in a `.env` file.

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.

Installation Methods / 安装方式

bash
npx clawhub@latest install <skill-name>

Example:

bash
npx clawhub@latest install glmocr
npx clawhub@latest install glmv-caption
npx clawhub@latest install glm-image-gen

You can also install multiple skills at once:

bash
npx clawhub@latest install glmocr glmocr-table glmocr-formula glmocr-handwriting glmocr-sdk glm-image-gen glmv-caption glmv-prompt-gen glmv-resume-screen glmv-grounding glmv-doc-based-writing glmv-pdf-to-ppt glmv-pdf-to-web glmv-prd-to-app glmv-stock-analyst glmv-web-replication
Method B: If Clawhub is rate-limited

You may see errors like:

text
✖ Rate limit exceeded (retry in 47s, remaining: 0/20, reset in 47s)

Use one of the following:

  1. Wait and retry after reset time.
  2. Install from the official GitHub skill directory directly.

你可能会遇到 Clawhub 频率限制;可等待重试,或改用 GitHub 源安装。

Method C: Install from GitHub source

Use each skill's official path (see catalog above).

General idea:

bash
git clone https://github.com/zai-org/GLM-skills.git

Then follow that skill's own SKILL.md for exact setup steps.


API Key Setup (required by most downstream skills)

Most GLM skills require the environment variable ZHIPU_API_KEY. This master skill itself does not read or use the key, but downstream skills will.

Security best practices:

  • Create a limited-scope API key with only the permissions needed for the skills you plan to use.
  • Store the key in environment variables only — never hardcode it in source files or commit it to version control.
  • Add ZHIPU_API_KEY to your .gitignore if storing it in a .env file.
  • Rotate the key periodically and revoke unused keys at https://bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys.

Get API key: https://bigmodel.cn/usercenter/proj-mgmt/apikeys

Set in shell:

bash
export ZHIPU_API_KEY="your_key"

或者写入环境配置文件(如 ~/.zshrc)以长期生效,但请确保该文件不会被提交到版本控制系统。

How an Agent should use this Master Skill

When user asks for GLM OCR / GLM Image / GLM-V capabilities:

  1. Match user intent to one or more skills in the catalog.
  2. Recommend installation via npx clawhub@latest install <skill-name> first.
  3. If rate-limited, tell user to retry later or use GitHub skill source.
  4. Open the selected skill's official SKILL.md and follow its instructions.

当用户提出具体任务时,Agent 按上述流程引导安装并跳转到对应技能文档。



Why this design / 设计原因

Some skill-sharing platforms may flag subprocess execution as high risk during review.

To keep this master skill safe and easy to pass review:

  1. No helper .py installer.
  2. No local command execution logic.
  3. Only official links + clear installation instructions.

由于 subprocess 在审核中可能被视为高风险,这里采用“纯文档”方式。


Security Note

This master skill intentionally avoids executable helper scripts. It is designed for safer sharing/review in public skill marketplaces.

本 Skill 刻意不包含可执行安装脚本,以降低审核风险。
