Reallocating $100/Month Claude Code spend to Zed and OpenRouter

With Anthropic altering rate limits, we can find other places to spend our money. I have chosen Zed editor with OpenRouter for maximum flexibility.

After hitting Claude limits today I spent the afternoon using OpenCode + GLM 5.1 via OpenRouter and I was very impressed.

OpenCode picked up my CLAUDE.md files and skills straight away, and I got similar
performance to Opus 4.6.
