Kilo-in-VS-Code-and-CLI

Kilo Code is an AI coding agent that meets you everywhere you work: VS Code, JetBrains, and the 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 directly, or grab it from the VS Code Marketplace. 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 
# 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 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.

Code Reviews

Set up automated AI code reviews on your pull requests at app.kilo.ai/code-reviews.

KiloClaw

Spin up your always-on AI agent at app.kilo.ai/claw.

Install the CLI from GitHub Releases (binaries)

Download the latest binary from the Releases page.

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.

What it does

Autonomous Mode (CI/CD)

Run kilo run with --auto for fully autonomous operation with no prompts, built for CI/CD pipelines:

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.

Kilocode
这是什么？Kilo Code 是一款开源的 AI 编程代理，可以在 VS Code、JetBrains IDE 中使用，也可以直接通过命令行（CLI）使用，帮助你借助 AI 编写、调试和发布代码。
它是 VS Code 扩展、JetBrains 插件，还是独立的 CLI 工具？三者都是：它有 VS Code 扩展、JetBrains 插件和独立的 CLI 可执行文件，三者都基于同一个代理引擎（OpenCode 的分叉版本）。
我该怎么把它运行起来？从 VS Code Marketplace 安装 Kilo Code 扩展，或从 JetBrains Marketplace 安装插件，或从 GitHub Releases 下载 CLI 可执行文件，然后在项目目录中运行 'kilo'。
开始之前，我是否需要为每个模型准备 API 密钥？不需要。你可以注册账号，按服务商的费率使用 500 多个模型，零加价，启动时无需 API 密钥。
自主运行的 CI/CD 模式在任何环境下都安全吗？--auto 参数会关闭所有权限提示，使代理无需确认即可执行任何操作，因此只应在可信的环境中使用。
CLI 可执行文件支持哪些平台？提供 Windows x64、macOS（Apple Silicon 和 Intel）以及 Linux x64/ARM 的预编译可执行文件，另外还提供适用于 Alpine 和精简版 Docker 镜像的 musl 构建版本。
许可证条款是什么？Kilo Code 采用 MIT 许可证，你可以使用、修改和分发它，包括用于商业用途，但需保留署名和许可证声明。
Kilo 自带哪些专用代理？包括：Code（默认编辑）、Plan（架构与实现方案）、Ask（只读的代码库问答）、Debug（故障排查）和 Review（检查性能、安全性、代码风格和测试覆盖率）。你也可以自定义代理。
我没有本地机器，也能运行 Kilo 吗？可以。Cloud Agent 可以通过网页在 app.kilo.ai/cloud 运行 Kilo，还有 KiloClaw 选项，可在 app.kilo.ai/claw 使用一直在线的代理。
它支持自动运行代码和浏览网页吗？支持。Kilo 具备终端和浏览器控制能力，代理可以运行命令、自动化网页任务，还提供 MCP 市场以扩展其功能。
行内自动补全是什么样子的？它会以灰色幽灵文本的形式给出建议，按 Tab 键即可接受，类似于 GitHub Copilot 的行内补全。
