* feat: support multi-level thinking effort switching
- kimi provider: emit thinking.effort in the new wire format; keep reasoning_effort mirrored during the transition
- model catalog: thread support_efforts / default_effort from oauth through to /models
- config schema: add supportEfforts / defaultEffort on model aliases
- TUI: multi-segment thinking control in /model, new /effort command, footer effort display
- switch status uses displayName and distinguishes model vs effort-only changes
* docs: add thinking effort design plans
- thinking-effort-switching.md: implemented multi-level effort switching
- thinking-model-overhaul.md: follow-up refactor plan for the thinking state model
* docs: collapse thinking overhaul plan into a single PR
* refactor!: overhaul thinking config and effort resolution
Replace default_thinking and thinking.mode with a single [thinking] enabled/effort table. ThinkingEffort is now an open string ('off' | 'on' | model-declared effort); effort levels come from each model's support_efforts instead of a fixed enum.
Centralize default and always_thinking clamp logic in resolveThinkingEffort/defaultThinkingEffortFor, and honor an explicitly configured effort when an always_thinking model is forced back on.
TUI keeps a single thinkingEffort field instead of the boolean + level pair; 'on' is normalized to the model default at the UI boundary.
BREAKING CHANGE: default_thinking and thinking.mode are removed from config; migrate to [thinking] enabled/effort.
* refactor: rename residual thinking level wording to effort
Rename comments, error messages, parameter names, the SetThinkingPayload wire field (level -> effort), and TUI local variables so the thinking effort naming is consistent throughout. No behavior change.
* refactor: rename remaining camelCase thinking level identifiers to effort
Rename liveLevel/prevLevel/levelChanged/commitLevel/effectiveLevel to liveEffort/prevEffort/effortChanged/commitEffort/effectiveEffort in the TUI model picker and config commands.
* refactor: eliminate remaining thinking level wording in comments and tests
Rename levelLabel -> effortLabel, EffortSelectorOptions.levels -> efforts, and 'effort level(s)' / 'default level' / 'requested level' wording in comments, error messages, slash-command description, and test titles to effort. Also restore the withThinking(effort) parameter rename in the Kimi provider that was accidentally reverted.
* fix: address codex review feedback on thinking effort handling
- OpenAI thinkingEffortToReasoningEffort and Anthropic clampEffort now normalize 'on' / unrecognized efforts instead of throwing, so boolean non-Kimi models no longer crash on session start.
- ACP resolveCurrentThinkingEnabled treats a non-empty thinking.effort as enabled, matching agent-core's resolveThinkingEffort.
- REST promptThinkingSchema accepts any non-empty effort string so model-declared efforts are not rejected at the API boundary.
* test: align kimi e2e expectations with supportEfforts-gated reasoning_effort
The kimi provider now sends reasoning_effort only when the model declares support_efforts; boolean models (no support_efforts) send only thinking.type. Update the kimi e2e tests to drop the stale reasoning_effort expectation for the boolean test model.
* test: cover [thinking] effort parsing in config.test
Add effort = "high" to the documented [thinking] table in the config parse test and assert config.thinking.effort is resolved, so the new [thinking] effort field has direct parse coverage.
* docs: add thinking test coverage gap analysis
Capture the explore agent's test coverage review for the thinking overhaul PR, including P1/P2 gaps and the two open design questions, for follow-up test additions.
* feat(oauth): parse nested think_efforts from /models response
The /models endpoint now returns effort levels under a nested think_efforts object ({ support, valid_efforts, default_effort }). Parse it preferentially in both managed-kimi-code and open-platform model parsing, falling back to the legacy flat support_efforts / default_effort fields for older servers.
* refactor(oauth): only read nested think_efforts; gate on support=true
Drop the legacy flat support_efforts / default_effort fallback. The think_efforts object is now the single source, and its support flag gates the whole object — when support is not true, valid_efforts and default_effort are ignored entirely.
* chore: remove unused parseStringArray import in open-platform
* docs: finalize thinking effort release notes
Downgrade the changeset to minor with an English summary, drop the version-specific 'added in 1.0.0' info block, and present the deprecated config fields as a table (field / deprecated in 0.21.0 / description).
* refactor: drop temporary refresh toggles and kimi reasoning_effort mirror
Remove the always-true REFRESH_MODELS_ON_PICKER_OPEN / REFRESH_PROVIDER_MODELS_ON_STARTUP toggles and their stale re-enable TODOs, and stop sending reasoning_effort from the kimi provider (thinking.effort is the only wire field now).
* fix(tui): avoid persisting "on" as thinking effort
* fix: preserve persisted thinking effort across login and provider setup
* fix(tui): show actual thinking effort in /status and footer
* test(tui): align message-flow expectations with effort persistence and /status display
* fix(vis): rename thinkingLevel to thinkingEffort in config.update analysis

Changesets
This repository uses changesets to manage npm package versions and releases.
Package Publishing Strategy
This repository uses an independent, manually-selected publishing strategy. When generating a changeset, only select the publishable packages that this change actually affects. The repository's .changeset/config.json already filters out internal workspace packages via ignore, so only the publishable packages listed below should appear in the pnpm changeset prompt.
Current publishable packages:
| Package | Directory | Description |
|---|---|---|
@moonshot-ai/kimi-code |
apps/kimi-code |
CLI / TUI application — provides the kimi command after install |
@moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk |
packages/node-sdk |
Public TypeScript SDK |
All other workspace packages are private internal packages, are not published to npm, and are excluded via ignore in .changeset/config.json:
@moonshot-ai/acp-adapter@moonshot-ai/agent-core@moonshot-ai/kaos@moonshot-ai/kimi-code-oauth@moonshot-ai/kimi-telemetry@moonshot-ai/kimi-web@moonshot-ai/kosong@moonshot-ai/migration-legacy@moonshot-ai/protocol@moonshot-ai/server@moonshot-ai/server-e2e@moonshot-ai/vis@moonshot-ai/vis-server@moonshot-ai/vis-webkimi-migration-legacy
Version impact from internal dependencies must be judged manually. The published artifacts for CLI and SDK bundle internal workspace packages into the artifact itself; runtime dependencies of published packages must not include any @moonshot-ai/* internal workspace packages.
The repository's .changeset/config.json sets updateInternalDependencies: "patch". Because internal packages are not published, you still need to manually select all affected publishable packages in the changeset — do not rely solely on automatic dependency bumps to express user-visible changes.
Example scenarios:
| Change | Changeset selection |
|---|---|
Only modifies TUI behavior in @moonshot-ai/kimi-code |
Add patch / minor / major to @moonshot-ai/kimi-code |
| Only modifies internal packages, no user-visible change in SDK / CLI | Usually no changeset needed |
| Internal package fix changes the CLI user experience | Add a changeset to @moonshot-ai/kimi-code describing the user-visible fix |
| Internal package adds a new capability exposed by the SDK | Add a changeset to @moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk |
| SDK behavior change affects CLI user experience | Add changesets to both @moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk and @moonshot-ai/kimi-code |
| Provider abstraction change affects SDK / CLI | Add changesets to the affected @moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk and/or @moonshot-ai/kimi-code |
| Test-only, internal refactor, docs, or private debug tooling changes | Usually no changeset needed |
Bundled official plugin change under plugins/ (e.g. kimi-datasource) |
No changeset — the plugin is versioned via its own kimi.plugin.json / plugins/marketplace.json and shipped through the marketplace CDN, not the npm package |
Prerequisite: NPM Trusted Publishing (OIDC)
This repository uses npm's Trusted Publishing (OIDC-based) for publishing — no NPM_TOKEN is required.
Configuration steps
- Open each publishable package's page on the npm website, e.g.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@moonshot-ai/kimi-code. - Go to Settings -> Publishing access.
- Find Automate publishing with GitHub Actions or Add trusted publisher.
- Click Add a new trusted publisher.
Fill in the following:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| GitHub Organization | MoonshotAI |
| GitHub Repository | kimi-code |
| GitHub Workflow | release.yml |
| Environment | leave empty |
Each publishable package needs its Trusted Publisher configured once. The current GitHub Actions workflow lives at .github/workflows/release.yml and already has id-token: write configured.
Development Workflow
1. Implement the feature or fix
Complete code, tests, and documentation changes as usual. A changeset is required when the change affects user-visible behavior, public API, dependency ranges, or release artifacts of a publishable package.
2. Generate a changeset
From the repository root:
pnpm changeset
Follow the prompts to choose:
- Which publishable packages this change affects;
- The version bump level:
patch: bug fixes, small changes, follow-up dependency updates;minor: backward-compatible new features;major: breaking changes;
- A user-facing description of the change.
The command creates a .changeset/*.md file that must be committed alongside the code.
3. Commit the changeset
git add .changeset/
git commit -m "chore: add changeset for package release"
git push
Commit messages must follow Conventional Commit style. Do not include any author/agent identity in the commit message.
4. CI generates the release PR
Once the changeset file is merged into main, .github/workflows/release.yml uses changesets/action@v1 to create or update a release PR.
The release PR runs:
pnpm changeset version: bumps publishable package versions and updates changelogs;- Deletes the consumed
.changeset/*.mdfiles; - Uses the title
[CI]: Release packages.
5. Merge the release PR
Once the release PR is merged into main, the same workflow runs:
pnpm install --frozen-lockfilepnpm buildpnpm changeset publish
The packages are then published via npm Trusted Publishing, and a GitHub Release is created.
Manual Publishing (Not Recommended)
Only publish manually when CI is unavailable. Before publishing manually, make sure you are logged into npm locally and using the Node.js and pnpm versions required by the repository.
pnpm run version
pnpm run publish
The underlying changesets commands are:
pnpm changeset version
pnpm changeset publish
The root-level pnpm run publish first runs typecheck, lint, sherif, test, build, and package lint, then runs changeset publish.
Notes
- Every PR that affects publishable-package behavior or public API should include a corresponding changeset.
- Changes under
plugins/(the bundled official plugins such askimi-datasource) do not need a changeset: each plugin carries its own version inkimi.plugin.jsonandplugins/marketplace.jsonand is distributed via the marketplace CDN, separately from the@moonshot-ai/kimi-codenpm package. - Changeset files must be committed to the repository — release PRs are only triggered after they're merged.
- Release PRs require human review and merge; they will not publish automatically.
- Do not add release changesets for private internal packages; only select
@moonshot-ai/kimi-codeand@moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk. - If a change in an underlying internal package alters user-visible behavior or public API of a publishable package, add a changeset to the affected publishable package. For example, when a bug fixed in
@moonshot-ai/agent-coreresolves an issue CLI users encounter, add a changeset to@moonshot-ai/kimi-codedescribing the user-visible fix. @moonshot-ai/kimi-codeis the official CLI package name; after a global install it provides thekimicommand.- Make sure each publishable package on npm has a Trusted Publisher configured.
