Do I need an API key to use this skill?

Yes, a Z_AI_API_KEY is required to authenticate requests. You can obtain one from the Z.AI management console.

How does the repository search work?

It uses ZRead to search and read GitHub code efficiently, allowing Claude to explore file trees and read specific file contents as markdown.

Is the output optimized for LLMs like Claude?

Yes, the CLI provides a data-only raw output mode designed for token efficiency, ensuring Claude receives the most information in the fewest tokens.

ZAI CLI is a versatile command-line tool that provides AI agents with specialized capabilities like real-time web search, vision analysis, and code repository reading.

Can this skill analyze visual content?

Yes, it utilizes the GLM-4.6V model to perform image and video analysis, OCR, UI-to-code conversion, and visual error diagnosis.

Web Scraping & Data Collection

Enhances Claude with real-time web search, vision-based image analysis, and advanced GitHub repository exploration.

The ZAI CLI skill provides Claude with powerful external capabilities, including real-time web search with advanced filtering, markdown extraction from URLs, and deep GitHub repository searching via ZRead. It also integrates GLM-4.6V for high-fidelity vision tasks such as UI-to-code conversion and error diagnosis, making it an essential tool for developers who need to bridge the gap between their local environment and live web data. By providing data-only raw output, it ensures maximum token efficiency when piping information into Claude's context.
