Ahmed Allam 0ab7244807 feat(models): refresh the recommended model list and docs examples
Add Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.7 Flash, and Z.ai GLM-5.3 / GLM-5.3-Flash
to RECOMMENDED_MODEL_NAMES, add a Z.ai GLM frontier family so GLM-5.x is
accepted through OpenRouter and Novita routes, and drop the superseded
GPT-5.4, GPT-5.3-codex, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.6 Flash, and
Qwen3.7 entries. Update the README, docs provider pages, quickstart, and
CLI hint strings to the same current models, including DeepSeek V4,
Kimi K3, and GLM-5.3.

## Development Setup
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.12+
- Latest Go 1.24.x patch (only for Bubble Tea TUI development and release artifacts)
- Docker (running)
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
- Git
### Local Development
<Steps>
<Step title="Clone the repository">
```bash
git clone https://github.com/usestrix/strix.git
cd strix
```
</Step>
<Step title="Install dependencies">
```bash
make setup-dev
# or manually:
uv sync
uv run pre-commit install
```
</Step>
<Step title="Configure LLM">
```bash
export STRIX_LLM="openai/gpt-5.6"
export LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```
</Step>
<Step title="Run Strix">
```bash
uv run strix --target https://example.com
```
</Step>
</Steps>
## Contributing Skills
Skills are specialized knowledge packages that enhance agent capabilities. They live in `strix/skills/`
### Creating a Skill
1. Choose the right category
2. Create a `.md` file with YAML frontmatter (`name` and `description` fields)
3. Include practical examples—working payloads, commands, test cases
4. Provide validation methods to confirm findings
5. Submit via PR
## Contributing Code
### Pull Request Process
1. **Create an issue first** — Describe the problem or feature
2. **Fork and branch** — Work from `main`
3. **Make changes** — Follow existing code style
4. **Write tests** — Ensure coverage for new features
5. **Run checks** — `make check-all` should pass
6. **Submit PR** — Link to issue and provide context
### Code Style
- PEP 8 with 100-character line limit
- Type hints for all functions
- Docstrings for public methods
- Small, focused functions
- Meaningful variable names
## Package Builds
Editable installs do not require Go; they run the TUI from source (`go run`).
Wheels are intentionally strict: they always bundle the matching Go sidecar and
are platform-specific.
```bash
make wheel
```
The build hook (`scripts/tui_sidecar_hook.py`) requires Go 1.24.x or newer, embeds
the sidecar as `strix/bin/strix-tui`, and assigns the current platform tag.
Frozen releases built by `scripts/build.sh` and `strix.spec` also require the
sidecar.
## Reporting Issues
Include:
- Python version and OS
- Strix version (`strix --version`)
- LLM being used
- Full error traceback
- Steps to reproduce
