Kilo is the all-in-one agentic engineering platform. Build, ship, and iterate faster with the most popular open source coding agent.
Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that works inside VS Code and JetBrains, from the command line, or through cloud services. Developers use it to build software with AI models, switch between providers, and run cloud agents or automated code reviews. The catalogue includes eleven skills, eight agents, and one instruction for Kilo Code.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what kilocode tells them →
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when the user asks to visualize data with charts, graphs, or plots using the chart tool (bar, line, scatter, pie, time series, etc.).
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when creating, triaging, or commenting on GitHub issues for the Kilo VS Code extension or JetBrains plugin via gh. Covers issue templates, project board assignment, title conventions, and required gh scopes.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create or review IntelliJ New UI SVG icons, theme variants, sizes, and palette.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create or review icons for Kilo's VS Code extension, webviews, and shared icon registry.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when pinning or unpinning the CLI version the Kilo JetBrains plugin uses, or fresh-regenerating the local repo CLI. Cleans all leftover CLI binaries and build artifacts in the current worktree so every operation starts from a fresh, artifact-free state.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when changing shared upstream-owned files to add Kilo-specific behavior, editing kilocodechange markers in shared code, or moving additive behavior out of shared code to reduce upstream merge conflicts. Do not use for changes confined to Kilo-owned paths such as packages/kilo-vscode/ or packages/kilo-ui/.
Skill Claude CodeCodex needs its repo
Write Storybook stories and visual regression tests for the Kilo VS Code extension webview UI.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when adding or moving code across shared/frontend/backend modules in packages/kilo-jetbrains/ — split-mode RPC contracts, serialization classloader pitfall, threading/EDT annotations, services and coroutine scopes, EDT test rules, dependency bundling, and the CLI server protocol.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when building, running, or debugging the JetBrains plugin — Gradle build/typecheck tasks, sandbox runIde modes and recovery, stopping sandbox runs, dev storage isolation, debug/chat logging, CLI pin modes and pin bumping.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when working on the JetBrains chat session UI or SessionModel/SessionController — transcript cards, retained Swing lifecycle, session background surfaces, editor-derived styling, adding session events, and session/controller testing with FakeSessionRpcApi.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when writing or reviewing UI code in packages/kilo-jetbrains/ — Swing layout, platform components, UiStyle tokens, theme colors/fonts/borders, Stack/Align layouts, tool windows/dialogs/popups/notifications, settings pages, and the pre-return UI checklist.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Create a GitHub tracking issue in Kilo-Org/kilocode that captures a merged Kilo v1 PR's behavior so it can be re-implemented or verified in opencode v2. Use when the user invokes /pr-track-v1 or asks to track a v1 core fix/feature for the v2 rewrite.
At most 3 mods per repository are shown here, and a mod shipped inside a plugin is left to that plugin's page — the rest are on their repository pages:
