* Add Atomic Chat as a first-class local provider. Ship the atomic-chat plugin with auto-discovery on localhost:1337, register the provider in models.dev fixtures, and document setup for VS Code and CLI. * Remove dead code Removed atomicChat provider mapping from legacy migration. * Update Atomic Chat provider icon to theme-colored vector. Replace the embedded raster icon with a currentColor SVG symbol so it matches provider icon styling and inherits UI color consistently. * Allow optional API key for local Atomic Chat and LM Studio providers. Load the atomic-chat plugin despite named constant exports, register local-server auth in the plugin, and let CLI and VS Code connect with an empty key on localhost. * Gate Atomic Chat discovery behind explicit opt-in * Update packages/plugin-atomic-chat/src/utils/should-probe-atomic-chat.ts * Remove dead branch in atomic-chat model ref probe. Drop the modelID check (never equals provider key) and the duplicate providerID branch. * Fix PR CI: register atomic chat plugin and complete i18n. Restore atomic-chat in default-plugins after main merge, add missing sidebar locale keys, and annotate shared upstream diffs. * Format i18n locale files and ProviderConnectDialog with Prettier. * Address PR review: docs order, narrow annotations, plugin fixes. Reorder local-models providers per maintainer feedback; use inline kilocode_change markers in dialog-provider. Share ModelStatusCache, fix config discovery abort/timeout, throw on fetch failure, and resolve bot review warnings. * Align dialog-provider with upstream keymap bindings after rebase. Restore useBindings instead of useKeyboard so shared-file diff stays minimal and passes annotation checks. * Update packages/kilo-vscode/webview-ui/src/components/settings/ProviderConnectDialog.tsx * Deduplicate Atomic Chat /v1/models fetch on config discovery. Use a single shared models endpoint request in enhanceConfig instead of separate health and discovery calls. * Fix kilo-code-bot review: import provider key and log cache errors. Export ATOMIC_CHAT_PROVIDER_KEY from local-providers for the webview, log cache warm failures, and throw on network errors in fetchModelsEndpoint. * fix(plugin-atomic-chat): harden discovery and reduce chat toasts Reuse auto-detect model list to avoid duplicate /v1/models calls, wire AbortSignal into fetch, replace silent catches with logging, and only surface validation errors in chat.params. * fix(plugin-atomic-chat): refresh model cache on chat validation retries Bypass the 15s model list cache after the first failed attempt so retryWithBackoff can observe newly loaded models. * Update packages/plugin-atomic-chat/src/utils/index.ts * fix(plugin-atomic-chat): repair categorizeError not_found branch Restore return statement and map "not loaded" validation errors to not_found after bot commit broke the if block. --------- Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com> Co-authored-by: kilo-code-bot[bot] <240665456+kilo-code-bot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

Key Features
- Code Generation: Kilo can generate code using natural language.
- Inline Autocomplete: Get intelligent code completions as you type, powered by AI.
- Task Automation: Kilo can automate repetitive coding tasks to save time.
- Automated Refactoring: Kilo can refactor and improve existing code efficiently.
- MCP Server Marketplace: Kilo can easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
- Multi Mode: Plan with Architect, Code with Coder, and Debug with Debugger, and make your own custom modes.
Get Started in Visual Studio Code
- Install the Kilo Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
- Create your account to access 500+ cutting-edge AI models including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, with transparent pricing that matches provider rates exactly.
- Start coding with AI that adapts to your workflow. Watch our quick-start guide to see Kilo in action:
Get Started with the CLI
# npm
npm install -g @kilocode/cli
# Or run directly with npx
npx @kilocode/cli
Then run kilo in any project directory to start.
npm Install Note: Hidden .kilo File
On some systems and npm versions, installing @kilocode/cli can create a hidden .kilo file near the installed kilo command (for example in a global npm bin directory). This file is an npm-generated launcher helper, not project data.
- Why it exists: npm may create helper artifacts while wiring CLI executables.
- Size caveat: size can vary by platform, npm version, and install mode (symlink vs copied launcher), so a strict fixed size is not guaranteed.
- Safety: it is safe to leave in place. Do not edit it manually. Use your package manager's uninstall (
npm uninstall -g @kilocode/cli) to remove install artifacts cleanly.
Install from GitHub Releases (Optional)
Download the latest binary or source code from the Releases page, use this quick guide:
kilo-<os>-<arch>.zipis the CLI binary for your OS and CPU architecture on Windows and macOS. (kilo-linux-<arch>.tar.gzfor Linux)darwinmeans macOS.x64is standard 64-bit Intel/AMD CPUs.x64-baselineis a compatibility build for older x64 CPUs(do not support AVX Instruction).arm64is ARM-based Linux/MacOS.muslis statically linked Linux build for Alpine/minimal Docker without glibc. Alpine/minimal Docker users should prefer the matching *-musl asset.kilo-vscode-*.vsixis the VS Code extension package and not the CLI binary.Source codereleases are for building from source, not normal installation.
For most users:
- Windows (most PCs):
kilo-windows-x64.zip - macOS Apple Silicon:
kilo-darwin-arm64.zip - macOS Intel:
kilo-darwin-x64.zip - Linux x64:
kilo-linux-x64.tar.gz - Linux on ARM:
kilo-linux-arm64.tar.gz
Autonomous Mode (CI/CD)
Use the --auto flag with kilo run to enable fully autonomous operation without user interaction. This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines and automated workflows:
kilo run --auto "run tests and fix any failures"
Important: The --auto flag disables all permission prompts and allows the agent to execute any action without confirmation. Only use this in trusted environments like CI/CD pipelines.
