z
An agentic coding harness for the terminal. Bring your own API keys — hot-swap models mid-session with /providers use. No subscriptions.
Quick start
pip install -e .
z --install # one-time setup wizard
z
Config lives in ~/.z.json:
{ "api_url": "https://api.z.ai/api/paas/v4/", "api_key": "sk-...", "model": "glm-4.7" }
Highlights
- 26 providers, one client — Z.AI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Bedrock, Copilot OAuth, OpenRouter, all via LiteLLM.
- Constant streaming — every token, including reasoning, streams live. No spinners.
- Telegram remote —
z --telegram <token>and drive the agent from your phone. - Context that survives compaction — half/quarter/lastTwo strategies, todo persistence, tool-result caching.
- Claude Code semantics — CLAUDE.md, hooks, persistent memory, cron tasks, sub-agents, MCP.
- 19 built-in tools — file ops, shell, search, web search, image analysis, background processes.
