Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an AI coding assistant for developers who want an agent to edit, explain, and debug a codebase in their editor or terminal. You can choose local models, connect a provider with your own API keys, or use Kilo's hosted model access.

• Code changes: Generate and refactor code across files from a natural language request, with inline completions and agent checks of its own work.
• Planning and debugging: Use specialized modes to plan features, trace errors, or ask about the codebase without editing files, and create custom agents for other tasks.
• Task execution: Let the agent run terminal commands and control a browser as part of its work, including autonomous CLI operation for CI jobs.
• Parallel agents: Manage IDE, CLI, and cloud sessions together and run separate tasks in isolated worktrees.
• Extensions: Add agents, skills, MCP servers, and plugins through the Kilo Marketplace.

Kilo Code is free and open source under MIT, supports self-hosting, and runs in VS Code, compatible Open VSX editors, JetBrains IDEs, and the CLI. Model switching is available during a task, and automatic routing can select models for hosted use.

Local models run on your hardware. Hosted inference and browser-based cloud agents use external services; Kilo's hosted model access requires an account.
