fix(kosong): preserve unsigned thinking in anthropic history serialization (#222)
When converting assistant history to the Anthropic wire format,
convertMessage() dropped any thinking block that had no signature. That
was meant to satisfy api.anthropic.com (which requires a valid signature
on thinking blocks), but it broke Anthropic-compatible backends.

Kimi's Anthropic-protocol endpoint streams thinking without a
signature_delta, yet requires the thinking to be present on a tool-call
turn — once it was dropped, the next request failed with "thinking is
enabled but reasoning_content is missing in assistant tool call message",
making multi-step tool use unusable on those backends.

Preserve unsigned thinking instead, emitting it without a `signature`
field. The two backends are partitioned by signature presence:
api.anthropic.com always supplies a signature (its history takes the
signed branch unchanged), while Kimi never does (its thinking is now
kept). Empty-and-unsigned parts carry nothing and are still skipped.

Demo of using Kimi Code

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 AIs Kimi models and can also be configured to use other compatible providers.

Install

Install with the official script. No Node.js required.

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

Then, run it with a new shell session:

kimi --version

For npm install, upgrade, uninstall, see Getting Started.

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 Moonshot AI Open Platform API key. After login, try your first task:

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

Key Features

  • Single-binary distribution. Install with one command: no Node.js setup, PATH gymnastics, or global module conflicts.
  • Blazing-fast startup. The TUI is ready in milliseconds, so starting a session never feels heavy.
  • Purpose-built TUI. A carefully tuned interface for long, focused agent sessions.
  • Video input. Drop a screen recording or demo clip into the chat, and let the agent watch what is hard to describe in words.
  • AI-native MCP configuration. Add, edit, and authenticate Model Context Protocol servers conversationally with /mcp-config, without hand-editing JSON.
  • Subagents for focused, parallel work. Dispatch built-in coder, explore, and plan subagents in isolated contexts while keeping the main conversation clean.
  • Lifecycle hooks. Run local commands at key points to gate risky tool calls, audit decisions, trigger desktop notifications, or connect to your own automation.
