## About Kilo Code

Kilo Code is an open-source AI coding assistant VS Code extension that combines the best features of Cline and Roo Code while adding unique enhancements. It's a superset of Roo, Cline, and its own features, offering developers a comprehensive coding agent that handles code generation, task automation, debugging, and project orchestration.

0. Each blog post is written in markdwon and stored in 'blog-posts'
folder.
**Key Features:**
- **AI-Powered Code Generation**: Generate code from natural language descriptions
- **Multi-Modal Operation**: Orchestrator mode breaks down complex projects into manageable subtasks and coordinates between specialized agent modes (Architect, Coder, Debugger)
- **MCP Server Marketplace**: Easily find and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities
- **Free AI Access**: No need to fiddle with API keys, Kilo Code ships with the latest AI models plugged in, including Claude 4 Sonnet and Opus and Gemini 2.5 Pro
- **Open Source**: Fully open, no lock-in, no training on your data

**Heritage**: Kilo Code started as a fork of Roo Code, which itself is a fork of Cline-the two fastest growing and most popular open source alternatives to Cursor. This lineage allows Kilo Code to integrate the best features from both predecessors while introducing innovative capabilities.
