Frequently Asked Questions
FAQPage SchemaHow to install kimi-cli?▼
Run `npx skills add MoonshotAI/kimi-cli --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.
What can Kimi CLI do in the terminal?▼
It reads and edits code, runs shell commands, searches the web, and autonomously plans multi-step software tasks. You can also switch to a direct shell command mode with Ctrl-X.
Does Kimi CLI work with VS Code or JetBrains?▼
Yes. It supports the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), so you can use it inside VS Code, Zed, and JetBrains IDEs as an agent server.
Can I extend Kimi CLI with custom tools?▼
Yes. It supports MCP servers, custom YAML-defined agents with their own prompts and tools, and reusable SKILL.md skill packages.
Do I need coding experience to use Kimi CLI?▼
Basic terminal familiarity helps, but you simply describe tasks in plain language and the agent handles file edits and commands, asking for approval before changes.
