kimi-code

Why we included this project

This CLI puts the coding agent where many developers actually live: the terminal. Running `kimi` inside a project gives you an assistant that reads and edits files, runs shell commands, searches code, and fetches web pages, then picks its next move from what it finds. It ships with Moonshot AI's Kimi models preconfigured but accepts other compatible providers, so you are not locked in. The single-binary install skips Node.js, the TUI starts in milliseconds, and you can hand parallel work to focused subagents or drop a screen recording into the chat for the agent to watch. MCP servers are added conversationally with `/mcp-config`, lifecycle hooks let you gate risky tool calls, and the `kimi acp` command exposes the same session to editors that speak the Agent Client Protocol.
