GitHub describes it as Kimi Code CLI is your next CLI agent.. The repository metadata lists Python as its primary language. The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: [!IMPORTANT] Kimi CLI is evolving into Kimi Code CLI , the next-generation terminal AI agent from the same team. Installing Kimi Code CLI automatically migrates your configuration and sessions. This project will be gradually wound down; the docs and existing installations remain available.

The README section "Kimi CLI" states: Kimi CLI is an AI agent that runs in the terminal, helping you complete software development tasks and terminal operations. It can read and edit code, execute shell commands, search and fetch web pages, and autonomously plan and adjust actions during execution.

The README section "Shell command mode" states: Kimi CLI is not only a coding agent, but also a shell. You can switch the shell command mode by pressing Ctrl-X . In this mode, you can directly run shell commands without leaving Kimi CLI.

The README section "IDE integration via ACP" states: Kimi CLI supports [Agent Client Protocol] out of the box. You can use it together with any ACP-compatible editor or IDE.
