Kilocode
Kilocode is an AI coding agent CLI tool that generates code from natural language, automates tasks, and runs terminal commands.
Basic Usage
Run in any project directory:
kilo
Non-interactive mode
Execute a single prompt without entering interactive REPL:
kilo run '\x3Cprompt>'
Continue previous conversation:
kilo run --continue '\x3Cprompt>'
Fully autonomous mode (CI/CD, no prompts):
kilo run --auto '\x3Cprompt>'
Common Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
kilo |
Start interactive REPL |
kilo run "prompt" |
Execute single prompt |
kilo run --continue "prompt" |
Continue with previous context |
kilo run --auto "prompt" |
Autonomous mode (no permission prompts) |
kilo --help |
Show help |
Examples
Generate code
kilo run "Create a Python function to calculate fibonacci sequence with memoization"
Debug
kilo run "Fix the bug in index.js where the async function returns undefined"
Refactor
kilo run "Refactor the React component to use hooks instead of class"
Run terminal commands
kilo run "Run npm test and fix any failing tests"
CI/CD automation
kilo run --auto "Run linting, tests, and build the project"
Models
Kilocode supports 500+ AI models via the Kilo provider (configured in auth-profiles). Popular models:
- Gemini 3.1 Pro (default, fast)
- Claude 4.6 Sonnet & Opus (high quality)
- GPT-5.2 (OpenAI)
Model selection is handled automatically based on provider configuration. No need to specify model unless required.
Tips
- Use
--autoflag only in trusted environments (CI/CD) - Provide clear, specific prompts for better results
- Kilo can read and write files, run commands, and interact with browser
- Check kilo.ai for documentation and updates
Usage Guidance
This package is inconsistent: it claims to be a CLI that can run commands and use many model providers, but it includes no binary, no install instructions, and it declares no credentials. Before using or trusting this skill, ask the publisher for: (1) an official install method (package name or download URL) and a cryptographic checksum; (2) source code or a reproducible build so you can audit what the 'kilo' binary does; (3) a clear list of what credentials or auth-profiles are required and where they are stored; and (4) documentation about what '--auto' actually executes and safeguards for running in CI. Do not run an unknown 'kilo' binary or enable '--auto' in any environment containing secrets until you verify provenance. If the publisher cannot provide these, treat the skill as non-functional or potentially risky and avoid installing or invoking it.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill claims to be a CLI tool ('kilo') that executes terminal commands, automates CI, and integrates with many AI providers, yet the package is instruction-only with no binary, no install spec, and no code. A real CLI would require an install step or bundled executable; that is missing here, so the declared purpose is not supported by the provided artifacts.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs running the external 'kilo' CLI (interactive, non-interactive, and fully autonomous modes) and states the tool can read/write files, run commands, and interact with a browser. Those capabilities are broad and potentially sensitive; the instructions give no constraints, no safeguards, and include an '--auto' mode that runs without permission prompts. The document also references auth-profiles and external model providers but does not explain how credentials are supplied or used.
Install Mechanism
There is no install specification and no code files. The SKILL.md references an external site (kilo.ai) and an external CLI but provides no download URLs, package manager instructions, or checksums. That makes the skill non-functional as packaged and raises provenance questions — it's unclear where a user would obtain the executable and whether it is trustworthy.
Credentials
The document mentions provider auth-profiles and support for many models, which normally requires API keys or credentials, but requires.env lists nothing. The absence of declared environment variables or credential requirements is inconsistent with the stated integration behavior and hides what secrets would be needed or accessed.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request permanent presence (always:false) and has default autonomous invocation allowed (platform default). That alone is acceptable. Note: the SKILL.md advertises a fully autonomous '--auto' mode — that is an operational risk if used in untrusted environments, but it is not a metadata privilege requested by the package itself.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install kilocode - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/kilocode - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
