Everything you need for AI-assisted development — from a single terminal.
Multi-Provider Routing
Switch between Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama, xAI, Mistral, Groq, Cohere, Copilot, KiloCode, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints at runtime.
/model /provider65+ Built-in Tools
Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep, Bash, Web Search, Research, MCP, LSP, Agent, Task, Monitor, and Workflow tools.
/toolsPlugin System
Extend with commands, agents, skills, hooks, and MCP servers. Pre/post tool hooks for custom automation.
/plugin /skillAgent View
Multi-session dashboard with supervisor daemon, background tasks, IPC communication, worktree isolation, PR column display, dispatch autocomplete, and keyboard shortcuts.
/agentsBackground Shell
Run long-lived commands as persistent background agent tasks with !bg <command>. Live status, exit codes, stderr capture, and full dashboard integration.
Peer-to-Peer
LAN peer discovery, task delegation, role-based naming, and autonomous AI peer coordination across machines.
/peer peer_send_taskBridge Mode
WebSocket remote collaboration with session sharing, team onboarding, and mobile/web clients.
BridgeKiloCompact
Local context compaction: log/trace snipping, failed-state consolidation, semantic turn pruning.
/compactPermission Modes
Default, Auto, Plan, YOLO Lite, YOLO, YOLO MAX — granular control over tool execution safety.
/permissionsPreference Learning
