* feat(agent-core-v2): add built-in capabilities (kimi-cu, kimi-webbridge) with REST routes
Add a capability domain holding a closed registry of built-in product
capabilities. Each entry owns layered readiness detection and idempotent
install orchestration: binary runtimes from fixed official CDN URLs
(KimiCU.app + launchd service + TCC permission state; the WebBridge
daemon with start-if-down semantics for Kimi Work coexistence) plus
agent wiring through the plugin service. The WebBridge wiring un-shadows
stale user-source skill copies (user priority beats plugin priority).
kap-server exposes the domain as GET /api/v1/capabilities,
GET /api/v1/capabilities/{id}, and POST /api/v1/capabilities/{id}:install
with client-polled progress and new wire codes 40418 / 40922 / 40923.
The plugin marketplace gains an official kimi-webbridge entry
(browser-control skills) packaged by the existing CDN build.
* fix(agent-core-v2): rename the webbridge wiring plugin to kimi-webbridge-skill
An official kimi-webbridge guide plugin (install/remove setup skills,
v3.0.4) already exists at the marketplace path the capability installer
pointed at — a different artifact owned by another release line. Give
the browser-control usage-skill plugin its own id/path instead of
colliding with (or overwriting) the guide plugin. The capability entry's
detect/install now tracks kimi-webbridge-skill; a machine with only the
guide plugin correctly reports the skill layer as missing.
* feat(agent-core-v2): shelf installs auto-complete capability binary layers
Two changes to make the plugin marketplace a first-class install path:
- Marketplace gains kimi-cu (sourced from the CU team's CDN zip — no
repackaging) and the kimi-webbridge usage-skill plugin now claims the
kimi-webbridge id at v4.0.0, deliberately superseding the WebBridge
guide plugin (v3.0.4, install/remove guide skills): guide users get a
version upgrade onto the real usage skill.
- The capability service subscribes to IPluginService.onDidReload: when
a capability's wiring step flips to ok through ANY install path
(shelf, TUI, CLI), it auto-completes the missing binary layers
(KimiCU.app + service, or the WebBridge daemon). Triggers only on the
false→true edge so completed installs with still-missing manual steps
(TCC permissions) never retrigger heavy downloads on later reloads.
* fix(plugins): keep kimi-webbridge plugin version aligned with the upstream skill
The plugin version tracks the bundled official usage skill (1.11.3) so
version drift against the WebBridge release line stays visible, instead
of minting an independent 4.0.0.
* fix(agent-core-v2): never report the webbridge installer-script version as the product version
The on-disk ~/.kimi-webbridge/bin/kimi-webbridge.version file tracks the
installer's own lineage (3.1.x, bumps on every install/upgrade run),
not the product version (v1.11.3 — daemon, extension, and skills all
share it). A downed daemon would have shown the misleading installer
number; report no version instead (live /status remains the source of
truth).
* chore(plugins): list kimi-cu on the marketplace without a pinned version
Marketplace versions are optional by schema: rows display the version
detected from the installed plugin's manifest, and update prompts only
fire on a valid semver latest > local comparison. A hand-maintained
number would drift just like the guide plugin's did. The locally built
kimi-webbridge entry keeps its manifest-stamped version (1.11.3).
* fix(agent-core-v2): fire onDidReload on plugin mutations, not just explicit reload
installPlugin / setPluginEnabled / removePlugin changed the catalog
silently — consumers listening to onDidReload (session skill-catalog
convergence, the capability shelf-install hook) only converged on an
explicit reloadPlugins(). Fire the same summary-shaped event on every
mutation (added:[id] / [] / removed:[id]) so every install path
converges. This also unbreaks the shelf-install hook on real hosts:
its unit tests passed against a fake emitter that fired on installs,
which the real service never did.
* feat(kap-server): add plugin management and marketplace REST routes
Expose the App-scope plugin service over the wire so non-CLI hosts
(desktop, web) can manage plugins end to end:
- GET /api/v1/plugins/marketplace — catalog (pluginMarketplaceUrl
server option / KIMI_CODE_PLUGIN_MARKETPLACE_URL env / production
default) merged on demand with live install state; updateAvailable
only on strict semver catalog > installed (no semver dependency)
- GET /api/v1/plugins, POST /api/v1/plugins {source}
- POST /api/v1/plugins/{id}:{enable,disable,remove}
- New wire code 40419 plugin.not_found
Mutations flow through IPluginService, so they serialize with other
install paths and fire onDidReload (session skill catalogs and the
capability shelf-install hook converge).
* feat(agent-core-v2): surface a machine-key note from capability installs
CapabilityEntry.install now resolves an optional note exposed through
CapabilityInstallProgress.note (wire-visible). The webbridge entry
returns 'user-skill-migrated' when it replaces a pre-existing
user-source skill (from the official installer) with the plugin-managed
copy — clients can localize the migration instead of the skill silently
disappearing from the user's directory.
* feat(tui): let the real WebBridge marketplace entry win over the pinned promo
The hardcoded Web Bridge row was built when WebBridge had no plugin
package — it pinned above the Official tab and shadowed any catalog
entry with the same id (open-in-browser only). Now that the marketplace
carries the real kimi-webbridge plugin, flip the precedence: the catalog
entry renders and installs normally, and the pinned promo becomes a
loading/error/legacy-catalog fallback only. Footer counts keep their old
semantics (catalog-only; the promo row is never counted).
* fix(tui): dim the installed state so it stops reading as the install action
Both badges shared a near-identical green-ish treatment in the same
column, making a quiet fact look like a clickable action. States now
recede (installed → textDim) while actions stay loud (install →
primary, update → warning).
* feat(agent-core-v2): converge plugin state across processes sharing a home
Multiple hosts share one KIMI_CODE_HOME (CLI, desktop, other agents), but
each PluginService kept a private in-memory snapshot: a plugin installed
or removed in one process stayed invisible to every other live process
until its next restart — new sessions there kept offering stale plugin
skills/MCP, and the capability shelf hook never saw peer installs.
Watch <home>/plugins for installed.json changes and reloadPlugins
(debounced, echo-suppressed around our own mutations) so all consumers
converge in well under a second: session skill catalogs, plugin MCP
mounts, and the capability shelf-install hook alike.
* fix(agent-core-v2): un-shadow webbridge user skills in BOTH user dirs
kimi-code resolves user-scope skills from two roots (~/.kimi-code/skills
and ~/.agents/skills), both at priority 20 — a stale copy in either
shadows the plugin-managed wiring (priority 5), and also keeps the
capability working after the plugin is removed, which reads as
'uninstall did nothing'. Migrate copies in both dirs during install;
other runtimes' dirs (~/.claude, ~/.codex) remain untouched.
* feat(tui): show live runtime-setup progress for capability installs
Installing a capability plugin (kimi-cu, kimi-webbridge) from the
/plugins shelf kicked off a silent background binary install — the row
flipped to installed while megabytes of runtime downloaded invisibly.
Route capability entries through the capability surface instead: the
panel's inline installing line now mirrors live progress (step +
percent) until the install settles, and the transcript reports
ready / failure-with-retry / still-running accordingly. Capability
removal prints an explicit note that runtime binaries are deliberately
left untouched (the capability keeps working), since that read as
'uninstall did nothing'.
Plumbs the capability service through klient's global facade
('capabilityService' decorator resolves in-process) and the node-sdk
v2 client; Session exposes it with a structural feature-detect so v1
engines fail clearly.
* docs(plugins): keep the kimi-cu marketplace blurb accurate for every client
Only the capability-aware clients auto-install the KimiCU.app runtime;
older builds still get wiring-only (the wrapper's error message then
points at the official setup script). Don't overpromise in the catalog
text every version reads.
* feat(agent-core-v2): install capability wiring from client-bundled plugin copies
The kimi-cu / kimi-webbridge wiring plugins ship inside the client release
instead of the marketplace catalog, binding their visibility to the client
version. Capability installs now resolve the bundled copy (env override,
then npm-layout and source-checkout probes from the module) and install it
as a local path, replacing the two CDN zip URLs. A missing bundle fails the
wiring step with a clear reinstall-or-upgrade message.
* build(cli): bundle the capability wiring plugins into client releases
Vendor the official kimi-cu plugin (v0.5.4, from the CU team's plugin zip)
next to kimi-webbridge under plugins/official, copy both into
apps/kimi-code/bundled-plugins at build time, and ship them in the npm
package (files) and the native SEA blob (a new bundled-plugins asset set
extracted into the native cache at startup, published to the engine via
KIMI_CODE_BUNDLED_PLUGINS_DIR). Desktop points the same variable at its
extraResources copy. The .gitignore build-output entries are anchored so
sources under src/native and test/native stop being silently ignored.
* revert(plugins): remove the kimi-cu and kimi-webbridge marketplace entries
Both capabilities now distribute with the client (bundled wiring), so the
catalog drops back to kimi-datasource / superpowers / vercel-plugin. Older
clients never see the entries; current clients install from the Built-in
section. This also reverts the marketplace blurb commit

The Starting Point for Next-Gen Agents
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_PATHto the absolute path ofbash.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, andplansubagents 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.
