🚀 Kilo Code

Open-source VS Code AI agent. We frequently merge features from open-source projects, such as Roo Code and Cline, while building our own vision.

✨ Generate code from natural language
✅ Checks its own work
🧪 Run terminal commands
🌐 Automate the browser
🤖 Latest AI models
🎁 API keys optional
💡 Get $20 in bonus credits when you top-up for the first time Credits can be used with 400+ models like Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus, and GPT-5

VS Code Marketplace (download)
Official KiloCode.ai Home page (learn more)

Key Features

Code Generation: Generate code using natural language.
Task Automation: Automate repetitive coding tasks.
Automated Refactoring: Refactor and improve existing code.
MCP Server Marketplace: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
Multi Mode: Plan with Architect, Code with Coder, and Debug with Debugger, and make your own custom modes.

How to get started with Kilo Code

Install the Kilo Code extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Create your account to access 400+ cutting-edge AI models including Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus, and GPT-5 – with transparent pricing that matches provider rates exactly.
Start coding with AI that adapts to your workflow. Watch our quick-start guide to see Kilo Code in action:

Difference between Kilo Code, Roo Code and Cline

Kilo Code started as a fork of Roo Code, which itself is a fork of Cline. We frequently merge features from these open-source projects and contribute improvements back. Built on these foundations, Kilo Code is independently developed with our own vision for AI coding agents.

No need to fiddle with API keys, Kilo Code ships with the latest AI models plugged in, including Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus, and GPT-5
MCP Server Marketplace: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
Autocomplete (experimental)

Kilo Code is a direct fork from Roo Code, and also includes the following features from Cline (and our own features):

System notifications: Get notified when the agent is done with a task.
Easy model connection: batteries included.
Editing previous messages
Assisted commit messages: we write git commit messages for you based on what changed

Extension Development

For details on building and developing the extension, see DEVELOPMENT.md

Edit

A simple editor for simple needs.

This editor pays homage to the classic MS-DOS Editor, but with a modern interface and input controls similar to VS Code. The goal is to provide an accessible editor that even users largely unfamiliar with terminals can easily use.

Installation

You can also download binaries from our Releases page.

Windows

You can install the latest version with WinGet:

`1`	`winget install Microsoft.Edit`

Build Instructions

Install Rust
Install the nightly toolchain: rustup install nightly
- Alternatively, set the environment variable RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1
Clone the repository
For a release build, run: cargo build --config .cargo/release.toml --release

Notes to Package Maintainers

Package Naming

The canonical executable name is “edit” and the alternative name is “msedit”. We’re aware of the potential conflict of “edit” with existing commands and recommend alternatively naming packages and executables “msedit”. Names such as “ms-edit” should be avoided. Assigning an “edit” alias is recommended, if possible.

ICU library name (SONAME)

This project optionally depends on the ICU library for its Search and Replace functionality. By default, the project will look for a SONAME without version suffix:

Windows: icuuc.dll
macOS: libicuuc.dylib
UNIX, and other OS: libicuuc.so

If your installation uses a different SONAME, please set the following environment variable at build time:

EDIT_CFG_ICUUC_SONAME: For instance, libicuuc.so.76.
EDIT_CFG_ICUI18N_SONAME: For instance, libicui18n.so.76.

Additionally, this project assumes that the ICU exports are exported without _ prefix and without version suffix, such as u_errorName. If your installation uses versioned exports, please set:

EDIT_CFG_ICU_CPP_EXPORTS: If set to true, it’ll look for C++ symbols such as _u_errorName. Enabled by default on macOS.
EDIT_CFG_ICU_RENAMING_VERSION: If set to a version number, such as 76, it’ll look for symbols such as u_errorName_76.

Finally, you can set the following environment variables:

EDIT_CFG_ICU_RENAMING_AUTO_DETECT: If set to true, the executable will try to detect the EDIT_CFG_ICU_RENAMING_VERSION value at runtime. The way it does this is not officially supported by ICU and as such is not recommended to be relied upon. Enabled by default on UNIX (excluding macOS) if no other options are set.

To test your settings, run cargo test again but with the --ignored flag. For instance:

`1`	`cargo test -- --ignored`

TypeScript 7

Preview

A preview build is available on npm as @typescript/native-preview.

1
2

npm install @typescript/native-preview
npx tsgo # Use this as you would tsc.

A preview VS Code extension is available on the VS Code marketplace.

To use this, set this in your VS Code settings:

1

3

{
    "typescript.experimental.useTsgo": true
}

How to Build and Run

This repo uses Go 1.24 or higher, Rust 1.85 or higher, Node.js with npm, and hereby.

For tests and code generation, this repo contains a git submodule to the main TypeScript repo pointing to the commit being ported. When cloning, you’ll want to clone with submodules:

`1`	`git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go.git`

If you have already cloned the repo, you can initialize the submodule with:

`1`	`git submodule update --init --recursive`

With the submodule in place and npm ci, you can run tasks via hereby, similar to the TypeScript repo:

hereby build          # Verify that the project builds
hereby test           # Run all tests
hereby install-tools  # Install additional tools such as linters
hereby lint           # Run all linters
hereby format         # Format all code
hereby generate       # Generate all Go code (e.g. diagnostics, committed to repo)

Additional tasks are a work in progress.

hereby is not required to work on the repo; the regular go tooling (e.g., go build, go test ./...) will work as expected. hereby tasks are provided as a convenience for those familiar with the TypeScript repo.

Running `tsgo`

After running hereby build, you can run built/local/tsgo, which behaves mostly the same as tsc.

Running LSP Prototype

To debug and run the VS Code extension without installing it globally:

Run VS Code in the repo workspace (code .)
Copy .vscode/launch.template.json to .vscode/launch.json
F5 (or Debug: Start Debugging from the command palette)

This will launch a new VS Code instance which uses the Corsa LS as the backend. If correctly set up, you should see “tsgo” in the status bar when a TypeScript or JavaScript file is open:

What Works So Far?

This is still a work in progress and is not yet at full feature parity with TypeScript. Bugs may exist. Please check this list carefully before logging a new issue or assuming an intentional change.

Feature	Status	Notes
Program creation	done	Same files and module resolution as TS5.8. Not all resolution modes supported yet.
Parsing/scanning	done	Exact same syntax errors as TS5.8
Commandline and `tsconfig.json` parsing	mostly done	Entry point slightly different for now
Type resolution	done	Same types as TS5.8
Type checking	done	Same errors, locations, and messages as TS5.8. Types printback in errors may display differently (in progress)
JavaScript-specific inference and JS Doc	not ready	-
JSX	done	-
Declaration emit	not ready	Coming soon
Emit (JS output)	in progress	`target: esnext` well-supported, other targets may have gaps
Watch mode	prototype	Watches files and rebuilds, but no incremental rechecking
Build mode / project references	not ready	-
Incremental build	not ready	-
Language service (LSP)	prototype	Minimal functionality (errors, hover, go to def). More features coming soon
API	not ready	-

Definitions:

done aka “believed done”: We’re not currently aware of any deficits or major left work to do. OK to log bugs
in progress: currently being worked on; some features may work and some might not. OK to log panics, but nothing else please
prototype: proof-of-concept only; do not log bugs
not ready: either haven’t even started yet, or far enough from ready that you shouldn’t bother messing with it yet

Other Notes

Long-term, we expect that this repo and its contents will be merged into microsoft/TypeScript. As a result, the repo and issue tracker for typescript-go will eventually be closed, so treat discussions/issues accordingly.

For a list of intentional changes with respect to TypeScript 5.7, see CHANGES.md.
