Sanad now works in VS Code and your terminal

Two clients, one Sanad account

Both clients connect only to Sanad. No provider API key, custom base URL, or third-party provider setup is required. Browser-based device login keeps provider credentials out of your local configuration.

Start in VS Code

1. Install Sanad from Visual Studio Marketplace.
2. Open the Sanad icon in the Activity Bar.
3. Choose Login with Sanad and finish browser verification.
4. Select Sanad 0.1 or GLM 5.2 and start a conversation.

The extension starts its bundled local runtime automatically. You do not need to install the CLI separately for the extension to work.

Start in your terminal

$ npm install -g @sanad.dev/cli
$ sanad login
$ cd your-project
$ sanad

The first login opens a Sanad device confirmation in your browser. After that, running sanad inside a repository opens the interactive coding agent. For a one-shot request, use sanad run "review the current changes".

Built for real repository work

The first release supports Sanad 0.1 and GLM 5.2 with ask, code, plan, debug, and review workflows. File changes and terminal commands remain approval boundaries by default, so developers can inspect proposed work before it changes the repository.

The VS Code Extension and CLI share the same product behavior and Sanad-only model catalog. The extension uses its bundled runtime; the standalone CLI is for developers who prefer a terminal-first workflow or want to run Sanad outside VS Code.

Available now

The extension is published for supported macOS, Windows, Linux, and Alpine targets. The CLI package selects the correct platform runtime during installation. Sign in with the same Sanad account in either client.
