Prettier pads markdown table cells for column alignment, which turns any content change into a table-wide realignment diff. Markdown was only in prettierignore for packages/kilo-vscode/; the root formatter still repadded docs elsewhere (e.g. TESTING.md, kilo-docs, AGENTS.md). Adds *.md to the root .prettierignore, documents the convention in AGENTS.md, and adds script/check-md-table-padding.ts + a workflow to enforce it. Existing padded tables in Kilo-owned docs have been rewritten via the script's --fix mode.

Modes / Agents Sub-Tab Parity
Priority: P2
The legacy "Modes" sub-tab was a 1794-line component with comprehensive mode management. The new "Agents" sub-tab now covers core CRUD (create, edit, delete) after PR #7225 but is still missing several legacy features.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Mode/Agent CRUD
| Feature | Legacy (Modes) | New (Agents) |
|---|---|---|
| View modes/agents list | List with name + slug | Interactive clickable list with name + description + "custom" badges |
| Select mode to configure | Popover/Command searchable combobox | Click-to-edit in agent list |
| Create new mode | Full dialog: name, slug, save location, role definition, description, when-to-use, tool groups, custom instructions | "Create New Mode" button with form: name (validated), description, system prompt |
| Delete custom mode | Confirmation dialog | Delete button with confirmation dialog |
| Rename custom mode | Inline text field with save/cancel | Not available — name is immutable after creation |
| Export mode | Export to file button | Not available |
| Import mode | Import dialog (project/global) | Not available (marketplace handles this) |
| Edit modes config (JSON) | Dropdown: "Edit Global Modes" / "Edit Project Modes" | Not available |
| Marketplace button | Opens mode marketplace | Not available |
Per-Mode/Agent Settings
| Setting | Legacy | New |
|---|---|---|
| API Configuration (provider profile) | <Select> dropdown of all API config profiles |
Not applicable (CLI uses per-agent model instead of profiles) |
| Role Definition / System Prompt | <TextArea> (5 rows) + reset button for built-ins |
Multiline auto-resizing textarea (edit view for custom; prompt override for built-in) |
| Description | <TextField> + reset button |
Editable text field in edit view |
| When to Use | <TextArea> (4 rows) + reset button |
Not available |
| Tools (tool groups) | Checkbox grid per group, file regex restrictions | Not applicable (CLI uses permission-based tool control) |
| Custom Instructions (per-mode) | <TextArea> (10 rows) + link to .kilocode/rules-{slug}/rules.md |
Not available as separate field (merged into system prompt) |
| Temperature | Not in legacy Modes sub-tab (was in provider profile) | <TextField> per agent |
| Top P | Not in legacy Modes sub-tab | <TextField> per agent |
| Max Steps | Not in legacy Modes sub-tab | <TextField> per agent |
| Model Override | Not in legacy Modes sub-tab (was via API config) | <TextField> per agent |
System Prompt Features
| Feature | Legacy | New |
|---|---|---|
| Preview System Prompt | Button to view full rendered prompt in slide-out panel | Not available |
| Copy System Prompt | Clipboard button | Not available |
| Override System Prompt | Advanced disclosure with link to .kilocode/system-prompt-{slug} |
Not available |
Global Custom Instructions
| Feature | Legacy | New |
|---|---|---|
| Global Custom Instructions field | <TextArea> (4 rows) inside Modes sub-tab |
Not available in Agents sub-tab (Rules sub-tab has instruction file paths instead) |
| Link to global rules file | Link to .kilocode/rules/rules.md |
Not available |
Organization Features
| Feature | Legacy | New |
|---|---|---|
| Share modes banner | KiloShareModesBanner component |
Not available |
| Organization mode warning | Warning when mode has source === "organization" |
Not available |
CLI Agent Fields Not Exposed
These are CLI capabilities beyond what the legacy had:
| CLI Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
agent[name].variant |
string | Default thinking/reasoning variant (low/medium/high) |
agent[name].permission |
Permission | Per-agent tool permission overrides |
agent[name].hidden |
boolean | Hide agent from mode switcher |
agent[name].disable |
boolean | Fully disable agent |
agent[name].mode |
"subagent" / "primary" / "all" | Agent visibility context |
agent[name].color |
string | Agent identification color |
agent[name].options |
Record | Arbitrary key-value config |
Remaining Work
Important (P2)
- When to Use field: Add a text area for orchestrator routing hints (if CLI supports it)
- System prompt preview: Add a button to view the full rendered system prompt — requires a CLI endpoint to return the assembled prompt for an agent
- Import/Export: Add import (from file) and export (to file) for agent/mode definitions
- Default variant per agent: Expose
agent[name].variantfor persistent thinking effort defaults - Hidden/disable toggles: Add visibility controls for agents
Nice to Have (P3)
- Rename agent: Allow renaming custom agents (currently name is immutable after creation)
- Edit config JSON buttons: Quick links to open the raw config file for global/project agent config
- Marketplace integration: Button to open mode marketplace (covered by marketplace.md)
- Organization mode features: Share modes banner and org mode warning (depends on org feature implementation)
- Agent mode selector: Dropdown for subagent/primary/all
- Color picker: Visual agent identification
- Per-agent permissions: Collapsible permission override section per agent
- Copy system prompt: Clipboard button for the assembled prompt
