Run Kilocode in Agentastic
Kilo Code's terminal agent, available as another provider choice for isolated, parallel tasks.
What Agentastic adds
Give every task its own worktree, branch, or container.
Keep Kilocode's real CLI and your existing configuration.
Inspect the diff, run code review, test, and open a pull request.
Launch Kilocode
- Install the official CLI and sign in with your existing provider account.
- Open a repository in Agentastic. The connection is discovered from your PATH.
- Open Agent Home, choose Kilocode, describe the task, and select worktree, local, container, cloud, or remote mode.
Every run gets its own git worktree, so three tasks can share a repository without sharing a branch or a build directory.
What Kilocode supports
- Launch from a task description: supported
Type the task in Agent Home and Agentastic hands it to kilo at launch, so the run starts from your prompt instead of an empty session.
- Unattended runs: not supported
Kilocode confirms its actions as it goes, so plan on watching the run rather than scheduling it.
- Plan before editing: not supported
Agentastic keeps plan mode out of the picker for Kilocode rather than emulating it, so runs begin with edits.
- Resume a session: supported
Reopen the last Kilocode session for a worktree and keep its history — useful when reviewing the diff turns up one more change.
- Structured chat: supported
Talk to Kilocode in a native chat that renders thinking, nested tool calls, plans, and permission requests as structured events instead of scraped terminal output.
- Code review: not supported
Kilocode writes the change; pair it with a review-capable agent for the pass before merge.
Agentastic reads these from Kilocode's own CLI rather than emulating them, and modes it does not support stay out of the picker. The provider reference lists the exact flags for each launch, and how to compare coding agents covers what changes when you switch harnesses.
Kilocode questions
Why run Kilocode in Agentastic instead of the Kilo Code editor extension?
Run it in Agentastic when you want Kilocode working beside other agents, such as Claude Code or Codex, on the same repository. Agentastic launches kilo with the sign-in you already have and gives it a git worktree, terminal, diff view, and code review for each task, plus a structured chat view of the session.
How do I run multiple Kilocode sessions in parallel?
Start each task from Agent Home in worktree mode. Agentastic gives every run its own git worktree and terminal, so several Kilocode sessions can work in one repository without editing the same files.
How do I install Kilocode?
Run npm install -g @kilocode/cli, then sign in the way Kilocode's documentation describes. Agentastic finds the kilo command on your PATH when you open a repository.
Does Agentastic charge for Kilocode?
No. Agentastic is free and does not proxy model calls. It launches Kilocode with the credentials and plan you already use, so any usage is billed by your provider, not by Agentastic.
