Kilo Code
Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent available as a Visual Studio Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, and a CLI tool that accepts natural language instructions and executes multi-step development tasks, such as creating files, editing code, running terminal commands, and debugging.
The agent can connect to over 500 AI models (LLMs) through OpenRouter and direct provider integrations, with no markup on model costs. Users can bring their own API keys from LLM providers, such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google, or purchase Kilo Pass credits.
Kilo Code includes an Orchestrator mode that breaks complex tasks into subtasks and routes each task to a specialized mode, including the following:
- Architect for planning
- Coder for implementation
- Debugger for fixing
A Memory Bank feature stores architectural decisions and project context in Markdown files within the repository to preserve continuity across sessions. The tool also supports Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extended tooling and allows users to define custom modes.
