Overview
zagent is a coding-agent terminal for the GLM engine, designed to drive an installed ZCode runtime from the shell. It provides a streaming TUI, tool calls, checkpoints, and quota insight. The product is an unofficial tool that is not affiliated with or endorsed by Z.ai, and it ships no Z.ai binaries; instead, it drives the ZCode runtime that the user has already installed on their own account. zagent supplies the missing @zcode/tui module through a Node ESM resolve hook, allowing the runtime to be read in place without copying, patching, or writing into its install root. It requires Node.js version 22.15 or higher, a ZCode runtime install, and a GLM Coding Plan. The tool offers both an interactive TUI and headless operation via command-line flags, with features such as quota management, session handling, per-turn diffs, memory, scheduled prompts, and plugins. It runs on the user's own GLM Coding Plan and installed runtime, with nothing bundled or phoned home. Cross-platform runtime discovery is supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
