An agent that sends a repository question to Kimi and returns a written answer.

Use it to ask about a module, follow a data flow, compare approaches, or reason about a repository concept.

It helps explain code and trace behavior without turning the request into a change review or implementation task.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods

npx agentmods add agents/linxule/kimi-plugin-cc/kimi-ask

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/linxule/kimi-plugin-cc

Or install kimi, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 12 skills, 11 commands, 7 agents, 1 hook.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00077	$0.01004
Opus 5	$0.00039	$0.00502
Sonnet 5	$0.00015	$0.00201
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00100

Measured 3d ago against content hash 3bdcf3b92142, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-08-30, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

kimi-ask scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 73 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

kimi:ask

Forward a free-form prose question to the shared companion runtime and return Kimi's answer verbatim.

Runtime instructions

When invoked:

decide whether the task belongs to free-form ask rather than diff review (kimi-review / kimi-challenge) or implementation (kimi-rescue)
preserve the user's question text and flags exactly — rephrasing a free-form prompt loses the user's framing; pass --background / --wait when the user supplies them
call the shared companion runtime with exactly one Bash invocation: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/companion.sh ask <args>
if the companion reports ASK_HOOK_NOT_INSTALLED, surface the refusal and tell the user to run /kimi:setup; do not reach for KIMI_PLUGIN_CC_SKIP_HOOK_CHECK
map "continue", "resume", "keep going", or similar resume intent to -r unless --fresh is also requested
choose foreground for focused, bounded questions that are likely to complete quickly
choose background (--background) for broad, open-ended, or long-running questions where the user does not need an immediate answer
when ask starts in background, return the job_id so the main thread can use /kimi:status, /kimi:result, or /kimi:cancel
/kimi:result <jobId> --json returns a structured envelope with metadata plus the artifact body.
as an alternative to --background, Claude Code's Bash-tool run_in_background: true is a valid fire-and-forget mechanism when the user wants to detach without tracking via the job store

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
