The open source coding agent for building with AI in VS Code, JetBrains, or the CLI.

---
Kilo Code is an AI coding agent that meets you everywhere you work: [VS Code](https://kilo.ai/landing/vs-code), [JetBrains](https://kilo.ai/features/jetbrains-native), and the [CLI](https://kilo.ai/cli). It's open source with open pricing. You pick from 500+ models, switch between them mid-task, and pay the model provider's rate with zero markup. No API keys required to start.
### Installation
Pick where you want to run Kilo.
VS Code
Install the [Kilo Code extension](vscode:extension/kilocode.kilo-code) directly, or grab it from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.Kilo-Code). Create an account and you'll have access to 500+ models including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, all at provider pricing.
CLI
```bash
# npm
npm install -g @kilocode/cli
# curl
curl -fsSL https://kilo.ai/cli/install | bash
# pnpm
pnpm add -g @kilocode/cli
# bun
bun add -g @kilocode/cli
# Homebrew (macOS / Linux)
brew install Kilo-Org/tap/kilo
# Arch Linux (AUR)
paru -S kilo-bin
```
Then run `kilo` in any project directory to start.
JetBrains
Install the [Kilo Code plugin](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28350-kilo-code) from the JetBrains Marketplace, or search "Kilo Code" in `Settings → Plugins` inside any JetBrains IDE.
Cloud Agent
Run Kilo from the web, no local machine needed, at [app.kilo.ai/cloud](https://app.kilo.ai/cloud).
Code Reviews
Set up automated AI code reviews on your pull requests at [app.kilo.ai/code-reviews](https://app.kilo.ai/code-reviews).
KiloClaw
Spin up your always-on AI agent at [app.kilo.ai/claw](https://app.kilo.ai/claw).
Install the CLI from GitHub Releases (binaries)
Download the latest binary from the [Releases page](https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/releases).
| Platform | Asset |
|---|---|
| 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 ARM | `kilo-linux-arm64.tar.gz` |
Notes: `x64-baseline` is a compatibility build for older CPUs without AVX. `musl` is the statically linked build for Alpine or minimal Docker images without glibc. `kilo-vscode-*.vsix` is the VS Code extension package, not the CLI. `Source code` archives are for building from source.
### Agents
Kilo ships with specialized agents you switch between depending on the task. You can also build your own custom agents.
- **Code** - The default. Implements and edits code from natural language.
- **Plan** - Designs architecture and writes implementation plans before any code gets written.
- **Ask** - Answers questions about your codebase without touching any files.
- **Debug** - Troubleshoots and traces issues.
- **Review** - Reviews your changes and surfaces issues across performance, security, style, and test coverage.
Learn more about [agents and custom agents](https://kilo.ai/docs/code-with-ai/agents/using-agents).
### What it does
- **Code generation** from natural language, across multiple files.
- **Inline autocomplete** with ghost-text suggestions and tab to accept.
- **Self-checking** so the agent reviews and corrects its own work.
- **Terminal and browser control** to run commands and automate the web.
- **MCP marketplace** to find and wire up MCP servers that extend what the agent can do.
- **500+ models** with mid-task switching, so you can match latency, cost, and reasoning to the job.
### Autonomous Mode (CI/CD)
Run `kilo run` with `--auto` for fully autonomous operation with no prompts, built for CI/CD pipelines:
```bash
kilo run --auto "run tests and fix any failures"
```
`--auto` disables all permission prompts and lets the agent execute any action without confirmation. Only use it in trusted environments.

### FAQ
Where did Kilo CLI come from?
Kilo CLI is a fork of [OpenCode](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode), enhanced to work within the Kilo agentic engineering platform.
