Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source agentic engineering tool for developers who want an AI coding agent across VS Code, JetBrains, and the command line. It combines codebase-aware editing with specialized modes for implementation, planning, and debugging, plus hosted agent deployment through KiloClaw for teams that want always-on agents without managing infrastructure.

• Code mode — write, refactor, and ship production code with a codebase-aware agent • Architect mode — plan complex features before implementation • Debug mode — analyze errors, traces, and failing behavior to propose fixes • Multi-surface workflow — use the agent from VS Code, JetBrains, or CLI workflows • Hosted option — KiloClaw can run connected agents 24/7 with chat integrations and model access

Best for engineering teams adopting open-source AI coding workflows while keeping flexibility across editors and model providers.
