Hagicode and GLM-5.1 Multi-CLI Integration Guide

Background

In the Hagicode project, users can choose from multiple CLI tools to drive AI programming assistants, including Claude Code CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode CLI, Codebuddy CLI, Hermes CLI, and more. These CLI tools are general-purpose AI programming tools on their own, but through Hagicode’s abstraction layer, they can flexibly connect to different AI model providers.

Zhipu AI (ZAI) provides an interface compatible with the Anthropic Claude API, allowing these CLI tools to directly use domestic GLM series models. Among them, GLM-5.1 is Zhipu’s latest large language model release, with significant improvements over GLM-5.0.

Hagicode’s CLI abstraction architecture

Hagicode defines 11 CLI provider types through the AIProviderType enum, covering mainstream AI programming CLI tools:

public enum AIProviderType
{
    ClaudeCodeCli = 0,    // Claude Code CLI
    CodexCli = 1,          // GitHub Copilot Codex
    GitHubCopilot = 2,     // GitHub Copilot
    CodebuddyCli = 3,     // Codebuddy CLI
    OpenCodeCli = 4,      // OpenCode CLI
    IFlowCli = 5,         // IFlow CLI
    HermesCli = 6,        // Hermes CLI
    QoderCli = 7,         // Qoder CLI
    KiroCli = 8,          // Kiro CLI
    KimiCli = 9,          // Kimi CLI
    GeminiCli = 10,       // Gemini CLI
}

Each CLI has corresponding model parameter configuration and supports the model and reasoning parameters:

private static readonly IReadOnlyDictionary<AIProviderType, IReadOnlyList<string>> ManagedModelParameterKeysByProvider =
    new Dictionary<AIProviderType, IReadOnlyList<string>>
    {
        [AIProviderType.ClaudeCodeCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.CodexCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.OpenCodeCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.HermesCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.CodebuddyCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.QoderCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.KiroCli] = ["model", "reasoning"],
        [AIProviderType.GeminiCli] = ["model"],  // Gemini does not support the reasoning parameter
        // ...
    };

GLM model support system

Hagicode’s Secondary Professions Catalog defines complete support for the GLM model series:

Model ID	Name	Default Reasoning	Compatible CLI Families
`glm-4.7`	GLM 4.7	high	claude, codebuddy, hermes, qoder, kiro
`glm-5`	GLM 5	high	claude, codebuddy, hermes, qoder, kiro
`glm-5-turbo`	GLM 5 Turbo	high	claude, codebuddy, hermes, qoder, kiro
`glm-5.0`	GLM 5.0 (Legacy)	high	claude, codebuddy, hermes, qoder, kiro
`glm-5.1`	GLM 5.1	high	claude, codebuddy, hermes, qoder, kiro

Key differences between GLM-5.1 and GLM-5.0

From the implementation in AcpSessionModelBootstrapper.cs, we can clearly see the differences between GLM-5.1 and GLM-5.0:

Standalone implementation of GLM-5.1

GLM-5.1 is a standalone new model identifier with no legacy handling logic:

private const string Glm51ModelValue = "glm-5.1";

Definition in the Secondary Professions Catalog:

{
  "id": "secondary-glm-5-1",
  "name": "GLM 5.1",
  "family": "anthropic",
  "summary": "hero.professionCopy.secondary.glm51.summary",
  "sourceLabel": "hero.professionCopy.sources.aiSharedAnthropicModel",
  "sortOrder": 64,
  "supportsImage": true,
  "compatiblePrimaryFamilies": [
    "claude",
    "codebuddy",
    "hermes",
    "qoder",
    "kiro"
  ],
  "defaultParameters": {
    "model": "glm-5.1",
    "reasoning": "high"
  }
}

Model provider configuration

Using GLM-5.1 in different CLIs

1. Claude Code CLI + GLM-5.1

Claude Code CLI is one of Hagicode’s core CLIs and is configured through the Hero configuration system:

{
  "primaryProfessionId": "profession-claude-code",
  "secondaryProfessionId": "secondary-glm-5-1",
  "model": "glm-5.1",
  "reasoning": "high"
}

Corresponding HeroEquipmentCatalogItem configuration:

{
  id: 'secondary-glm-5-1',
  name: 'GLM 5.1',
  family: 'anthropic',
  kind: 'model',
  primaryFamily: 'claude',
  compatiblePrimaryFamilies: ['claude', 'codebuddy', 'hermes', 'qoder', 'kiro'],
  defaultParameters: {
    model: 'glm-5.1',
    reasoning: 'high'
  }
}

2. OpenCode CLI + GLM-5.1

OpenCode CLI is the most flexible CLI and supports specifying any model in the provider/model format:

Method 1: Use the ZAI provider prefix

{
  "primaryProfessionId": "profession-opencode",
  "model": "zai/glm-5.1",
  "reasoning": "high"
}

Method 2: Use the model ID directly

{
  "model": "glm-5.1"
}

Method 3: Frontend configuration UI

In HeroModelEquipmentForm.tsx, OpenCode CLI has a dedicated placeholder hint:

const OPEN_CODE_MODEL_PLACEHOLDER = 'myprovider/glm-4.7';

const modelPlaceholder = primaryProviderType === PCode_Models_AIProviderType.OPEN_CODE_CLI
  ? OPEN_CODE_MODEL_PLACEHOLDER
  : 'gpt-5.4';

Users can enter:

zai/glm-5.1
glm-5.1

OpenCode CLI model parsing logic:

internal OpenCodeModelSelection? ResolveModelSelection(string? rawModel)
{
    var normalized = NormalizeOptionalValue(rawModel);
    if (normalized == null) return null;

    var slashIndex = normalized.IndexOf('/');
    if (slashIndex < 0)
    {
        // No slash: use the model ID directly
        return new OpenCodeModelSelection {
            ProviderId = string.Empty,
            ModelId = normalized,
        };
    }

    // Slash exists: parse the provider/model format
    var providerId = normalized[..slashIndex].Trim();
    var modelId = normalized[(slashIndex + 1)..].Trim();

    return new OpenCodeModelSelection {
        ProviderId = providerId,
        ModelId = modelId,
    };
}

3. Codebuddy CLI + GLM-5.1

Codebuddy CLI has dedicated legacy handling logic:

{
  "primaryProfessionId": "profession-codebuddy",
  "model": "glm-5.1",
  "reasoning": "high"
}

Note: Codebuddy retains special handling for GLM-5.0 and does not use legacy normalization:

return !string.Equals(providerName, "CodebuddyCli", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
       && string.Equals(normalizedModel, LegacyGlm5TurboModelValue, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
    ? Glm5TurboModelValue
    : normalizedModel;
// For CodebuddyCli, glm-5.0 is not normalized to glm-5-turbo

Environment variable configuration

Using Zhipu AI ZAI

# Set the API key
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="***"

# Optional: specify the API endpoint (ZAI uses this endpoint by default)
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL="https://open.bigmodel.cn/api/anthropic"

Using Alibaba Cloud DashScope

# Set the API key
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN="your-a...-key"

# Specify the Alibaba Cloud endpoint

Improvement advantages of GLM-5.1

Compared with GLM-5.0, GLM-5.1 brings the following significant improvements:

1. Better reasoning capability

According to Zhipu’s official release information, improvements in GLM-5.1 include:

Stronger code understanding: More accurate analysis of complex code structures
Longer context comprehension: Supports longer conversational context
Enhanced tool calling: Higher success rate for MCP tool calls
Output stability: Reduces randomness and hallucinations

2. Comprehensive multi-CLI compatibility

GLM-5.1 covers all mainstream CLIs supported by Hagicode:

compatiblePrimaryFamilies: [
  "claude",      // Claude Code CLI
  "codebuddy",   // Codebuddy CLI
  "hermes",      // Hermes CLI
  "qoder",       // Qoder CLI
  "kiro"         // Kiro CLI
]

Notes

1. API key configuration

Make sure the ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable is set correctly. It is the required credential for every CLI to connect to the model.

2. Model availability

GLM-5.1 needs to be enabled by the corresponding model provider:

The Zhipu AI ZAI platform supports it by default
Alibaba Cloud DashScope may require a separate application

3. OpenCode CLI format

When using the provider/model format, make sure the provider ID is correct:

Zhipu AI: zai or zhipuai
Alibaba Cloud: aliyun or dashscope

4. Reasoning parameter

high is recommended for the best code generation results
Gemini CLI does not support the reasoning parameter and will ignore this configuration automatically

Conclusion

Through a unified abstraction layer, Hagicode enables flexible integration between GLM-5.1 and multiple CLIs. Developers can choose the CLI tool that best fits their preferences and usage scenarios, then use the latest GLM-5.1 model through simple configuration.

As Zhipu’s latest model version, GLM-5.1 offers clear improvements over GLM-5.0:

An independent version identifier with no legacy burden
Stronger reasoning and code understanding
Broad multi-CLI compatibility
Flexible reasoning level configuration

With the correct environment variables and Hero equipment configured, users can fully unlock the power of GLM-5.1 across different CLI environments.

Continue With HagiCode

If you want to put GLM-5.1, multi-CLI orchestration, and HagiCode’s configuration model into real use, these are the fastest entry points:

Track the main project and latest implementation progress on GitHub: github.com/HagiCode-org/site
Visit the official site to understand the product direction, capability boundaries, and install options: hagicode.com
Start with the Docker Compose guide, then switch models and CLIs in a real environment: docs.hagicode.com/installation/docker-compose
If you prefer a local desktop workflow, begin with the Desktop entry point: hagicode.com/desktop/

Once you compare Kimi, Claude Code, OpenCode, and other CLIs inside the same abstraction layer, questions about model switching, parameter mapping, and engineering boundaries tend to become much easier to reason about.
