## Key Features

- **Code Generation:** Kilo can generate code using natural language.
- **Inline Autocomplete:** Get intelligent code completions as you type, powered by AI.
- **Task Automation:** Kilo can automate repetitive coding tasks to save time..
- **Automated Refactoring:** Kilo can refactor and improve existing code efficiently.
- **MCP Server Marketplace**: Kilo can 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.

## Get Started

1. Install the Kilo Code extension from the [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=kilocode.Kilo-Code).
2. Create your account to access 500+ cutting-edge AI models including GPT-5.5, Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview, with transparent pricing that matches provider rates exactly.
3. Start coding with AI that adapts to your workflow. Watch our quick-start guide to see Kilo in action:

## Developer Setup

If you want to contribute or modify the extension locally, see the [DEVELOPMENT.md](/DEVELOPMENT.md) file for build and setup instructions.

### Snapshot Builds

To build and share a development snapshot of the extension:

```bash
# Run from packages/kilo-vscode/

# Build only (outputs VSIX to system temp dir)
bun run snapshot:build

# Build and install directly into VS Code
bun run snapshot:install
```

The snapshot version embeds the current commit SHA and your git username (from `git config user.name`), e.g. `7.0.47-snapshot+8ff7f2d02.kirillk`.
