About Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding tool that introduces structured modes for different types of development work. Instead of a single chat interface, it offers distinct modes for architecture planning, code generation, debugging, and code review, each optimized for its specific task. This modal approach helps the AI provide more focused and relevant assistance. Architecture mode thinks about system design, code mode focuses on implementation, and debug mode systematically diagnoses issues. Users switch between modes as their task evolves. Kilo Code runs as a VS Code extension and supports multiple LLM providers. Its open-source nature means the community can add new modes, customize existing ones, and adapt the tool to specific workflows.
