ZCode Skills

Q: Does ZCode support skills?

Yes. ZCode reads Agent Skills from .zcode/skills/ and .agents/skills/ in a project and ~/.zcode/skills/ and ~/.agents/skills/ globally. Its settings can also import skills from Claude Code, Codex and Qwen Code folders.

Q: How do I use skills with the GLM Coding Plan?

Either use ZCode, which reads ~/.agents/skills/, or point Claude Code at Z.ai with the GLM Coding Plan and install Skills into ~/.claude/skills/.

Agent Skills for ZCode, Z.ai’s open-source coding workspace built around GLM, and for Claude Code running on the GLM Coding Plan. One SKILL.md folder covers both.
