glm-code-action

Use this workflow to run Claude Code GitHub Actions with Z.ai GLM models.

This setup is intended for the GLM coding plan rather than a normal usage-based API setup. The practical reason is cost control: the coding plan gives fixed pricing with a defined quota, which can be easier to reason about than per-token API billing.

What This Repo Does

The workflow in .github/workflows/glm.yml listens for @claude mentions on:

• issue comments
• pull request review comments
• pull request reviews
• issues

When a matching event arrives, GitHub Actions runs Claude Code with these Z.ai-backed model settings:

• ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic
• ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_OPUS_MODEL=glm-5.1
• ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_SONNET_MODEL=glm-5-turbo

Quickstart

1. Copy .github/workflows/glm.yml into your GitHub repository.
2. Open your GitHub repository settings.
3. Go to Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions.
4. Add a new repository secret named ZAI_API_KEY.
5. Paste your Z.ai API key as the secret value.
6. In the workflow file, keep ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL set to https://api.z.ai/api/anthropic.
7. Commit the workflow file to your repository.
8. Trigger the workflow by mentioning @claude in an issue or supported review event.

The screenshot below shows the correct GitHub page for adding ZAI_API_KEY. The Z.ai URL belongs in the workflow file, not in GitHub Secrets:
