in plain english

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding agent that plugs into Visual Studio Code and also runs as a command-line tool. It solves the problem of writing, fixing, and improving code by letting you describe what you want in plain English, the agent then generates the code, checks its own work, runs terminal commands, and can even automate the browser to carry out tasks on your behalf. The VS Code extension gives you inline autocomplete as you type, plus distinct modes for planning, coding, and debugging. You can connect it to a wide range of AI models including GPT, Claude, and Gemini variants, and API keys are optional since Kilo offers its own model access. It also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, which let you extend what the agent can do by connecting it to external services or data. The command-line version is installable via npm and supports an autonomous mode ideal for automated pipelines, it can run tasks without any human prompts. You would use Kilo if you want an AI pair programmer baked into your editor or scripts, especially if you want flexibility in which AI model powers it.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
Set up Kilo Code in my VS Code and connect it to Claude so I can get AI-powered code suggestions as I type.
prompt 2
Use Kilo's CLI to generate a function that fetches data from an API and formats it as JSON, then run it in my terminal.
prompt 3
Configure Kilo to run in autonomous mode in my GitHub Actions workflow to automatically fix linting errors in pull requests.
prompt 4
Connect a custom MCP server to Kilo so it can query my database and generate SQL queries based on my descriptions.
prompt 5
Use Kilo to automate filling out a web form by describing the steps I want it to take on the page.
