Kilo Code

VS Code

7.7.9

Minor Changes

• #14444 f85f62c - Add Close to the Right to the Agent Manager tab menu. It closes the session, terminal, and review tabs that sit after the target tab and keeps pinned tabs open.

• #14485 9088b7d - Install Marketplace plugins from a git repository. Plugin catalog entries can now use a git source such as git:github.com/owner/repo@v1.2.3#subdir, so a plugin can be distributed from a public repository without publishing to npm. The client clones the repository at the pinned ref into the plugin cache and loads the plugin from there.

• #14281 7c59855 - Install plugins from the Kilo Marketplace. The Marketplace now lists plugin items alongside agents, skills, and MCP servers, and installing one adds the npm package to Kilo's

Added

• Preview background agents directly in the collapsed agent strip, so active work stays visible without expanding the panel.
• Add copy path and reveal actions when nested worktree deletion is blocked, making it easier to inspect and clean up the folder manually.
• Add CLI support for background process monitoring, session cron scheduling, pull request linking, and experimental self-context tools.

Fixed

• Wrap long session status messages instead of clipping them in the JetBrains UI.
• Normalize markdown line endings before rendering, preventing unexpected formatting breaks in JetBrains chat.
• Recover pending questions and permission prompts after reconnecting to an existing session.
• Use normal session model defaults when creating sessions in new worktrees.
• Ground selected-code prompts in the active editor selection so the agent receives the intended context.
• Remove deselected models from custom OpenAI-compatible providers, including delete-and-recreate flows and providers saved in another settings scope.
• Improve Swarm board readability by wrapping long messages, keeping the board open while navigating, and adding copy-all.

7.7.6

Minor Changes

• #14054 3b6746c Thanks @vkeerthivikram! - Reintroduce automatic session cleanup in Settings > Checkpoints. Keep it off by default and apply the configured retention period across all projects and Kilo clients on the machine. Protect running sessions and sessions with a recent fork, confirm manual cleanup, and show live session-level progress with a spinner and processed, deleted, and failed counts. Avoid scanning unrelated session history and preserve progress when status updates are delayed.

• #14301 f03ebe3 - Create new Git projects and clone repositories directly from Agent Manager. Choose where projects are stored and attach them without changing the VS Code workspace. Adding a project or cloning a repository that is already present opens the existing project instead of creating a duplicate, and a repository whose

7.7.5

Minor Changes

• #14251 b3ef153 - Add @model, @past-chats, and @worktrees mentions to the Agent Manager New Worktree prompt. Past chats and worktrees are sent as attachments to the new session, and model references stay inline text.

• #14249 d73b514 - Run worktree-independent slash commands from the Agent Manager New Worktree prompt. Custom commands, skills, MCP prompts, and /goal now appear in the prompt menu and execute when a new worktree is created. Typing /goal alone starts a two-step flow, so the objective can be entered before the session starts.

Patch Changes

• #14274 d162846 - Keep the Agent Manager .kilo directory out of git in subdirectory workspaces and avoid creating it in folders that are not git

7.7.4

Minor Changes

• #14233 b07646f - Open Mermaid diagrams in a fullscreen zoom viewer with zoom in/out, reset, mouse-wheel zoom, and drag-to-pan

• #14255 4881829 - Leftover worktree folders now show a count and total size in the warning banner, with a "Resolve…" action that opens a dialog listing each folder's path, size, and whether it still holds a git checkout. While the total is still being measured the banner says so, and if the measurement fails it reports the count alone instead of claiming 0 B. Measuring stops as soon as you start a delete, or whenever the folder list changes, rather than walking folders that are on their way out, and then re-measures whatever is left. The dialog's explanation starts collapsed to its first paragraph behind a "Show more" link, and its checkboxes are drawn the way each IDE draws its own. Deletion runs in the background so the UI never

Added

• Add a Marketplace page to JetBrains settings for browsing, installing, and removing marketplace agents, MCP servers, and skills without leaving the IDE.
• Add Kilo Swarm support to JetBrains, including an Agent Behavior toggle, readable board tool cards, and a board viewer for session collaboration.
• Add a cleanup flow for leftover Agent Manager worktree folders, with size reporting, git-checkout warnings, and safe removal from JetBrains.

Fixed

• Collapse pasted text in JetBrains only after larger 15-line or 4000-character blocks, matching VS Code and avoiding over-folding ordinary snippets.
• Recover shared agent board reads when a stale or foreign cursor appears, instead of leaving a sub-agent stuck on repeated tool errors.
• Clear stopped session status before publishing status events, so reload no longer stays blocked by a session that already finished.
• Reduce unnecessary sandbox escalation prompts for read-only git and gh commands while keeping mutating commands protected.

7.7.3

Major Changes

• #14209 3eaf47b - Remove KiloClaw: the VS Code chat panel and sidebar button, the /kiloclaw TUI command and chat view, the Kilo Chat client and token handling, and the kilo.claw.status and kilo.claw.chatCredentials gateway endpoints.

Minor Changes

• #14204 d202c80 - Animate the Kilo logo on the welcome screen: hover the mark to see it turn and play the yellow slot-machine animation.

• #13519 9e61d68 - Show ChatGPT Codex quota alongside other provider usage in the CLI and VS Code.

• #14170 36771e6 - Show large pasted text in the prompt input as an expandable `[Pasted ~N

Added

• Fold and unfold large pasted text blocks directly from the prompt input and transcript.

Fixed

• Pause the working timer while waiting on a permission prompt or a question.
• Prevent snapshot progress from hanging a session.
• Keep diagnostics edits responsive during large edits.
• Warn when posting to the shared board targets a stopped subagent.
• Keep a session goal running when a new message arrives instead of dropping it.
• Only route auxiliary tasks to kilo-auto/small when using Kilo credentials.
• Stop looping on repeated malformed tool calls.
• Keep Keep Awake active while a wakeup is scheduled, and clear it when a session with pending wakeups is deleted.
• Speed up local recall searches and improve match ranking.
• Link sessions to their pull requests without a slow, timed gh pr view probe.
• Submit and cancel custom answers correctly in the question dialog.
• Format detailed code review findings as distinct sections.

Changed

• Speed up the first worktree snapshot by skipping unnecessary re-hashing of the checkout.
• Skip resolving the source project when moving sessions without changes, for faster session moves.
• Bump the bundled CLI to v7.7.2.

7.7.2

Minor Changes

• #14155 f894108 - Show message timestamps on hover in the chat transcript, including the turn's finish time and duration.

• #14168 a16e5e9 - Show code added with "Add to Context" as a collapsible context card in the prompt input instead of pasting the path and code block as text

• #12714 23ecd42 - Move marketplace catalog, installation, removal, and installed-item detection into the CLI backend so editor clients use the shared marketplace API.

• #14159 0480c79 - Support a custom speech-to-text source. Point voice input at any OpenAI-compatible transcription API with a base URL and

VS Code

7.7.1

Minor Changes

• #14126 4fb9f38 - Copy a link to any PR review comment from the Agent Manager PR panel.

• #14144 53a553f - Add a Reasoning Blocks display setting with Expanded, Preview, and Headline modes. Headline shows only the reasoning header and streaming indicator until you open the block, and your open or closed choice is kept while the response streams. Preview keeps a short capped scrolling preview while the agent writes and stays compact after it finishes, and blocks from earlier sessions start collapsed. Expanded keeps the full text open. The setting replaces Auto-Collapse Reasoning; existing auto_collapse_reasoning: true configurations map to Preview.

  Keep the Preview viewport anchored to the newest reasoning text after the block finishes, so later tool calls no longer make it jump back to the top.

Minor Changes

• #14102 81ecad2 - Mention sessions, worktrees, terminals, and open documents by dragging their tab or card into the prompt.

• #14051 b30b2cf - Let permission denials include feedback so the agent can adjust before retrying.

  Keep saved approval rules unchanged unless explicitly selected, and show a clear message when an edit has no changes to review.

• #14025 1ef46bd - Post inline comments to a checked-out GitHub pull request from Changes and Agent Manager diff views. The compact composer saves locally, sends to Kilo, or posts to GitHub with an explicit destination choice. Cmd/Ctrl+Enter saves a comment, and pressing it again in the review view sends all comments to Kilo without publishing to GitHub. The toolbar shows separate
