Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Bernstein sipyourdrink-ltd Coding Agents	Glm MCP djerok Coding Agents
Summary	Deterministic multi-agent orchestrator for 37 CLI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenHands, OpenCode, Goose, Qwen, Ollama, and more). MCP server mode (stdio + HTTP/SSE) exposes the orchestrator to any MCP client. Git worktree isolation per agent, HMAC-chained audit trail, cost-aware model routing via contextual bandit. Apache 2.0.	Run GLM (Zhipu/Z.ai) as a real sub-agent inside Claude Code or GitHub Copilot. GLM gets its own agent loop (read/write/edit/run) on your repo — not a single LLM call — with peak-aware Opus-vs-GLM routing, diff/dry-run/git-revert oversight, and a usage ledger. 10x cheaper than Opus. Requires a Z.ai GLM Coding Plan key.
