Zen now allows you to define `roles` for an external CLI and delegate work to another CLI via the new `clink` tool (short for `CLI + Link`). Gemini, for instance, offers 1000 free requests a day - this means you can save on tokens and your weekly limits within Claude Code by delegating work to another entirely capable CLI agent!
Define your own system prompts as `roles` and make another CLI do anything you'd like. Like the current tool you're connected to, the other CLI has complete access to your files and the current context. This also works incredibly well with Zen's `conversation continuity`.
- Add missing models to all tool parameter documentation
- Update model table in advanced-usage.md with GPT-5 series
- Add Gemini 2.0 Flash and Flash Lite models
- Include detailed capabilities for each model variant
- Fix model parameter consistency across all tool docs
Models added:
- GPT-5 (gpt5): Advanced reasoning with 400K context
- GPT-5 Mini (gpt5-mini): Efficient variant
- GPT-5 Nano (gpt5-nano): Fast, low-cost variant
- Gemini 2.0 Flash (flash-2.0): Audio/video support
- Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite (flashlite): Text-only lightweight

* Remove simulation tests from GitHub Actions
- Removed simulation-tests job that makes real API calls
- Keep only unit tests (mocked, no API costs) and linting
- Simulation tests should be run manually with real API keys
- Reduces CI costs and complexity
GitHub Actions now only runs:
- Unit tests (569 tests, all mocked)
- Code quality checks (ruff, black)
