Overview

Research summary

Kilo is an open-source coding agent distributed across editor, terminal, and hosted cloud surfaces. It provides specialized modes for implementation, planning, codebase questions, debugging, and review, with support for user-defined agents. The agent can make multi-file changes, run terminal commands, automate browser interactions, and add external capabilities through MCP servers.

Its provider layer supports a broad selection of hosted and local models, including mid-session switching, so the user is not tied to a single model vendor. The CLI also offers a non-interactive mode suitable for CI/CD; its auto option disables permission prompts and therefore should be restricted to trusted environments. The repository is a TypeScript monorepo containing the editor integrations and Bun-based CLI, and the maintainers identify the CLI as a fork of OpenCode adapted for the wider Kilo platform.

Repository code is MIT-licensed. That license does not by itself govern third-party models, provider APIs, account services, or hosted cloud execution.
