KiloCode CLI - Open Source Agentic CLI

Kilocode team has recently released agentic CLI, it is more of like Claude Code which you can use in the terminal to do some task.

How to get started?

We can install it from npm

npm install -g @kilocode/cli

And start run kilocode to start the AI Agent.

Overall, this feels like a very early stage and might not be useful at the moment. I find it little slow when compared with other tools like Claude Code, Drod, etc.

For example, I was not able to make it run with GLM Coding Plan.

Anyway, here is the official video by them.

You can find the source code of this CLI 👉 https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode/tree/main/cli which is a good learning material on how a agentic CLI is being built.
