Kilo Code
Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent distributed as a VS Code extension. It sits in the same practical category as Cline and other editor agents: read the project, build a plan, change files, run commands, and keep the developer in the approval loop. Its appeal is the combination of an editor surface, open-source behavior, and provider flexibility for teams that do not want their coding-agent workflow locked to one hosted product.
Top features
- VS Code agent workflow: Kilo Code works inside the editor where developers already review files, diffs, and project structure.
- Plan-and-act loop: the agent can inspect context, propose a route, edit files, and run checks instead of stopping at a chat answer.
- Multi-provider support: useful for teams comparing hosted models, local models, or OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
- Visible repo changes: edits land as reviewable file changes, which makes it easier to keep normal git discipline.
- Open-source extension model: teams can audit the behavior and adapt the setup around their own coding standards.
Use cases
- Scaffold a feature, then ask the agent to add tests, wire components, and run project checks.
- Triage bugs in an unfamiliar repository by asking the agent to map relevant files before editing.
- Refactor repetitive code while reviewing every changed file in VS Code.
- Use alternate model providers for different projects without changing the whole development environment.
- Give junior developers or non-specialists a guided path through repo setup, code explanation, and first patches.

Open Design is a local-first, Apache-2.0 design studio that uses your existing coding-agent CLI, file-based skills, portable design systems, and a sandboxed artifact preview loop to generate pages, decks, apps, documents, and media.
