refactor(agent-core): use ripgrep for Glob tool (#1068)
* refactor(agent-core): use ripgrep for Glob tool

Glob now shares Grep's ripgrep subprocess plumbing: it respects .gitignore by default, supports brace patterns natively, adds an include_ignored option, and returns only files.

* fix(glob): address review findings on ripgrep migration

- Run rg with cwd pinned to the search root so glob patterns containing
  a slash (e.g. src/**/*.ts) match under an absolute search root.
- Keep include_dirs as a deprecated, ignored parameter so older calls
  are not rejected by parameter validation.
- Surface stdout truncation and drop half-written trailing paths when
  the rg output buffer is capped.
- Document that a bare pattern (e.g. *.ts) matches recursively, and sync
  user docs, the explore profile prompt, and the TUI summary to the new
  files-only / gitignore behavior.
- Add real-ripgrep integration tests covering sort order, recursion,
  brace patterns, and the absolute-search-root case.

* fix(glob): keep partial results on traversal errors

The Starting Point for Next-Gen Agents

npm License Docs

What is Kimi Code CLI

Kimi Code CLI is an AI coding agent that runs in your terminal. It can read and edit code, run shell commands, search files, fetch web pages, and choose the next step based on the feedback it receives. It works out of the box with Moonshot AI's Kimi models and can also be configured to use other compatible providers.

Install

The recommended install path is the official script. It does not require Node.js to be installed first.

  • macOS / Linux:
curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.sh | bash
  • Windows (PowerShell):
irm https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.ps1 | iex

On Windows, install Git for Windows before first launch because Kimi Code CLI uses the bundled Git Bash as its shell environment. If Git Bash is installed in a custom location, set KIMI_SHELL_PATH to the absolute path of bash.exe.

Then run it with a new Terminal session:

kimi --version

Alternative: npm

If you prefer npm, use Node.js 22.19.0 or later:

npm install -g @moonshot-ai/kimi-code

Or with pnpm:

pnpm add -g @moonshot-ai/kimi-code

For upgrade and uninstall instructions, see the Getting Started guide.

Quick Start

Open a project and start the interactive UI:

cd your-project
kimi

On first launch, run /login inside Kimi Code CLI and choose either Kimi Code OAuth or a Kimi Platform API key. After login, try a first task:

Take a look at this project and explain the main directories.

Key Features

  • Single-binary distribution. Install with one command — no Node.js setup, no PATH gymnastics, no global module conflicts.
  • Blazing-fast startup. The TUI is ready in milliseconds, so opening a session never feels heavy.
  • Polished TUI. A carefully tuned interface designed for long, focused agent sessions.
  • Video input. Drop a screen recording or demo clip into the chat — let the agent watch instead of typing out what's hard to describe in words.
  • AI-native MCP configuration. Add, edit, and authenticate Model Context Protocol servers conversationally via /mcp-config — no hand-editing JSON.
  • Subagents for focused, parallel work. Dispatch built-in coder, explore, and plan subagents in isolated context windows; the main conversation stays clean.
  • Lifecycle hooks. Run local commands at key points — gate risky tool calls, audit decisions, fire desktop notifications, wire into your own automation.
