Moonshot AI is transitioning its terminal AI agent from Kimi CLI to Kimi Code CLI, a next-generation tool with automatic configuration migration. The original project is being gradually deprecated, though existing docs and installations remain accessible. Kimi Code CLI functions as both a coding agent and a shell, capable of reading, editing code, executing commands, and web fetching autonomously.
- Kimi CLI is being phased out; users should migrate to Kimi Code CLI for continued support.
- Configuration and session data migrate automatically during the transition to the new CLI.
- The new agent operates as a full shell environment with autonomous planning and execution.
- Existing documentation and installations remain available during the wind-down period.
- Capabilities include code editing, shell command execution, and web search integration.
