 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, 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-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Grok 4.6, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, all at provider pricing.
 CLI 
 [code] 
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.
 Install the CLI from GitHub Releases (binaries) 
Download the latest binary from the Releases page.

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.

### 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.
- **Kilo Marketplace** to install agents, skills, MCP servers, and plugins 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 operati
