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.
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.

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 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.06405 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.02562 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.01281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00641 |
Grade A, and why
jetbrains-ui 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 17d 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 — 372 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
JetBrains Plugin UI Guidelines
Detailed UI reference for packages/kilo-jetbrains/. See packages/kilo-jetbrains/AGENTS.md for the hard restrictions (no Compose/DSL/JCEF) and the reuse-first index; this skill covers the how.
Technology Choices
Do not use Kotlin UI DSL v2 (com.intellij.ui.dsl.builder) in this plugin. Use standard Swing with IntelliJ Platform components for all UI layout. The JetBrains modular template and some older sections of the codebase reference the DSL, but Kilo should not introduce it.
Do not use Kotlin Compose or intellij.platform.compose in this plugin. The JetBrains modular template uses Compose for its demo tool window, but Kilo should use standard Swing with IntelliJ Platform components only. Keep all plugin UI in the existing Swing-based stack.
Do not use JCEF (JBCefBrowser) in this plugin. JCEF does not work in JetBrains remote development (split mode): the frontend process runs on the client machine but JCEF requires a display on the host, making it effectively unusable for remote users. Use standard Swing with IntelliJ Platform components for all UI.
| Need | API |
|---|---|
| Any layout, forms, panels | Standard Swing with IntelliJ Platform component replacements |
| Tool windows | SimpleToolWindowPanel + ToolWindow.contentManager |
| Menus and toolbars | Action System |
| Dialogs | Extend DialogWrapper |
Style Tokens
UiStyle (frontend/src/main/kotlin/ai/kilocode/client/ui/UiStyle.kt) is the single source of truth for reusable UI constants in this plugin.
Before introducing any new reusable color, spacing value, border, size, font, or helper:
- Check the IntelliJ source (
$INTELLIJ_REPO) or public repository for an existing standard API or named key (e.g.JBUI.CurrentTheme.*,UIUtil.*,NamedColorUtil.*,JBColor.namedColor(...),JBFont.*). - If a standard platform key exists, use it directly — do not copy the value into
UiStyle. - If no standard key fits, add the new reusable token to
UiStyle. Do not scatter constants into component-local fields, pass them through constructors, or duplicate them across files.
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.

jetbrains-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kilo-Org/kilocode (27,622 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 6,405 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-29.
