Bring Your Own Agent

Bring Your Own Agent lets Glaze work with the agents and models you already use. Connect your Claude subscription and you can build with Claude models such as Opus, Sonnet, and Fable from inside Glaze. This uses your own Claude subscription rather than Glaze credits, so your builds draw on the Claude plan you already pay for.

What You Need

To connect Claude, you need a compatible, locally authenticated Claude Code subscription on your Mac. Glaze uses the Claude Code sign-in already on your machine, so there's nothing to paste into Glaze and no credentials to hand over.

Connect Claude

You connect Claude once, in Settings, and it's then available in the composer's model picker across your projects.

1. Install Claude Code on your Mac if you don't have it yet.
2. Sign in to your Claude subscription in Claude Code.
3. In Glaze, open Settings -> Account and connect Claude. The How to connect dialog walks you through the same steps if you need them.

Once connected, your Claude models appear alongside Glaze Fast and Glaze Smart in the composer's model picker. See Agent Chat for how the picker works.

How Usage Works

• Building with a connected Claude model uses your Claude subscription instead of your Glaze credits, so these runs don't draw down your Glaze credit balance. See Credits.
• Your normal Claude usage limits still apply, just as they would when using Claude directly.
• During the beta, building through your connected Claude subscription is unlimited on the Glaze side.

Track Context Usage

When you build with a connected Claude model, the /context command in Agent Chat shows a breakdown of how much of the model's context is in use. As you approach the limit, Glaze surfaces controls for reviewing and compacting the context so a long session keeps room to work.

If a Model Becomes Unavailable

If a Claude model you've selected becomes unavailable, Glaze routes you to Account Settings to sort out the connection rather than quietly switching to Glaze Smart or Glaze Fast and spending your Glaze credits. You stay in control of which models a build uses.
