Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source agentic engineering platform and coding-agent project with a large GitHub footprint and recent activity. Why it matters: Open-source coding agents are maturing quickly, but adoption should depend on sandboxing, permissions, review flow, and integration fit rather than stars alone.

Try this: Scan the README, permissions model, and extension surface, then compare one low-risk coding task against the current default coding-agent setup before adopting it.
