    Kilo Code logo

    Kilo by Kilo Code

    v7.5.12 (release)

    Kilo improves Agent Manager with better worktree and pull request handling, refreshed session status, smarter prompts and permissions, and faster large-repo performance. It also introduces Kilo Swarm for opt-in shared board collaboration and adds broader @ menu search and workflow polish.

    7.5.12

    Patch Changes

    • #13789 b1ed65e - Keep model and reasoning selectors open during automatic prompt focus restoration.

    7.5.11

    Minor Changes

    • #13734 d95e20d - Explain worktrees, parallel agents, PR status, and conflict resolution with an inline Agent Manager introduction. Remember whether it is enabled and let users restore it from the welcome screen.
    • #13776 46dfbbc - Show pull request discussion comments and review submissions at the bottom of the Agent Manager PR view with actions to send them to the agent or terminal, copy, and dismiss.
    • #13779 737fba0 - Add a refresh button to fetch the latest pull request state in Agent Manager.
    • #13735 5a1da63 - Ask the worktree agent to update from its saved base branch with /update-from-base, the worktree menu, or Command Palette, without stashing or discarding uncommitted work.
    • #13592 6a224d2 Thanks @sylwester-liljegren! - Search the whole @ menu with one query. Names with spaces are now searchable, so @my report.txt finds the file it names, and past chats are found by title in the list instead of only behind Past chats. Files, chats, and entries such as Terminal, Git changes, and Browse files... are ranked together by how well they fit the query, rather than listed in fixed groups.
    • #13733 d969f8b - Show unresolved review thread counts beside worktree PR numbers in Agent Manager, with a shortcut to open the comments.
    • #13727 ce274e6 - Support agent-defined default answers for single-select questions, with Enter confirmation in the CLI and VS Code.
    • #13629 c0eba39 - Introduce Kilo Swarm, an opt-in shared board scoped to a main session and its task descendants, with persistent session history and fixed activity notices in tool results. Enable Kilo Swarm in Experimental settings for parallel solution attempts or complementary work, not every task. Post messages with board_post and read peer messages explicitly with board_read, without treating them as user requests or approval. Posting a message does not guarantee delivery or reading, or start an agent. Keep experimental.shared_agent_board, tool names, stored identifiers, history, and permissions unchanged.

    Keep background task status available for models without a reasoning variant.

    Warn when a direct board post targets a task known to be inactive, without restarting it.

    Keep peer content out of user turns and privileged instructions. Coalesce activity notices on genuine tool results, with message bodies available only through explicit reads. Preserve the parent's model and reasoning settings when background tasks finish.

    Patch Changes

    • #13753 62c3660 - Reference /update-from-base in the Agent Manager introduction to explain how to merge the latest base branch changes into a worktree.
    • #13730 64123bc - Show the target session and full outgoing prompt when asking permission to send a prompt through Agent Manager.
    • #13731 05ae514 - Clear completed session indicators when you return to their chat across sidebar, editor, worktree, and subagent tabs. Keep indicators for sessions that finish while already open, and preserve unresolved input requests, errors, and turn diagnostics.
    • #13758 64df333 Thanks @WebReflection! - Reduce Agent Manager change-detection key sizes without changing update behavior.
    • #13707 e14b4db - Speed up worktree deletion when multiple terminals need to close, while preserving conversation history and process cleanup checks.
    • #13777 6876856 - Restore worktree delete actions when Agent Manager misses a shortcut modifier key release
    • #13706 9a8ce09 - Restore sending all Agent Manager diff comments with a second Cmd+Enter or Ctrl+Enter, including quick consecutive presses.
    • #13775 d842b97 - Clear stale Agent Manager running indicators when a background agent finishes while another project is selected.
    • #13704 3c04984 - Clear subagent permission prompts after approval or denial, even when the subagent view is closed, and prevent stale recovery responses from restoring resolved prompts.
    • #13738 8d347a9 - Show initial Agent Manager worktree prompts immediately while they are being sent.
    • #13692 8c077fb Thanks @WebReflection! - Use organization model defaults in VS Code while preserving valid preferences. Return consistent defaults from the CLI provider APIs, respect environment credential overrides, and prevent public-model fallbacks for Org accounts.
    • #13773 f18516e - Keep Agent Manager sections collapsed when deleting worktrees and select the nearest visible worktree with a session instead.
    • #13728 0c72ddd - Reduce change-badge overhead in large repositories by reusing unchanged file counts and limiting concurrent file reads.
    • #13783 1ac2666 - Remove the help icon from the Agent Manager toolbar.
    • #13716 05a9013 - Suggest /review worktree first in Agent Manager worktrees.
    • #13743 62acc16 - Show sessions that end with a review suggestion as completed in Agent Manager.
    • #13732 beb84eb - Show session titles and agent icons in board communication routes, with readable long-name tooltips and each message body shown once. Expose available agent execution state and report inactive or unknown recipients without implying delivery or reading.
    • #13715 54689a5 - Keep terminal-only tabs active when switching between Agent Manager worktrees and Local, without adding a new session when returning from another project.
    • #13774 7b4f502 - Allow Update from base to dismiss unanswered questions and preserve local work with recovery data isolated per worktree, without asking how to save it or bypassing permission approvals.
    • #13683 e0dd6c8 Thanks @sylwester-liljegren! - Open images attached to sent chat messages in an editor tab preview instead of a modal, matching the behavior of images attached in the prompt input.
    • #13714 e7f66a8 - Select the nearest worktree with an open session after deleting a worktree in Agent Manager.

    Kilo Code logo

    Kilo by Kilo Code

    JetBrains 7.1.3

    Kilo adds worktree row pull request details, review state, and CI status at a glance, plus quick copy actions for branch, path, and PR references. It also brings guided first-launch onboarding, smoother PR refreshes, and fixes for custom providers, migration, and UI polish.

    Added

    Hover a worktree row to see its pull request details, review state, and CI status at a glance.
    Copy a worktree's branch name, path, or pull request reference (title plus link) from the worktree row menu.
    Guided onboarding on first launch, including a wizard that imports your Kilo v5 settings and providers.

    Fixed

    Selecting a model from a custom provider now resolves its API key environment variable correctly, and keeps custom headers when the variable is cleared.
    Pull request and GitHub status now refresh promptly when you return to the IDE, without flooding the backend with lookups.
    Keep showing a pull request when GitHub declines review details or the API budget is spent, instead of blanking the badges.
    Onboarding and the migration wizard stay usable if Skip or Later fails.
    Center the empty state in the diff editor.
    Worktree row popups no longer clip long pull request titles or jump while the list refreshes.

    v7.5.6 (release)

    Kilo adds Agent Manager worktree and chat improvements, including a searchable @ picker, /review worktree, faster change loading, better session handling, stable status indicators, and smoother scrolling, prompts, and background agent management.

    7.5.6

    Minor Changes

    • #13512 13a9673 - Reference other Agent Manager worktrees with a searchable @ picker that prioritizes recently opened worktrees. Share paths, branches, and session IDs without attaching diffs or chat history. Keep picker results in sync when clearing search.
    • #13533 6d15d18 - Choose a separate model for conversation compaction in Context settings.
    • #13498 46bd29d - Review all committed and uncommitted Agent Manager worktree changes with /review worktree.

    Patch Changes

    • #13502 094ca19 - Keep Agent Manager worktree spinners active while background agents are running.
    • #13505 b382a3b - Load Agent Manager changes faster and preserve cached diffs when switching sessions.
    • #13499 8c0a570 - Place the prompt navigator on the outer sidebar edge and delay hover previews to avoid accidental popups. Keep the navigator on the right in Agent Manager and editor tabs.
    • #13547 2fd53b0 - Prevent cleared questions from reappearing after saving settings.
    • #13545 b8058a3 - Clear false failure banners after successful context overflow recovery while preserving terminal errors.
    • #13544 f5a7a1d - Resume interrupted tasks from the empty send button without adding a chat message.
    • #13546 31e76dd - Use configured agent reasoning in new sessions instead of outdated saved defaults, and preserve explicit Default selections.
    • #13540 bac3043 - Avoid checkpoint cleanup errors when deleting worktrees under protected parent folders.
    • #13528 de9e1ed - Keep queued prompt text visible while attachment context loads, and hide empty queued placeholders and internal messages.
    • #13543 67b299f - Clear stale failures when an agent resumes, keep optional review suggestions from triggering attention, and explain Agent Manager status icons on hover. Keep progress spinners separate from attention warnings during worktree operations.
    • #13500 c8df9c4 - Keep chat scroll position during streaming, including small upward gestures, direction changes, and scrolling over message controls.
    • #13466 64c75a5 - Prevent intermittent server connection failures during VS Code startup.
    • #13475 be2ec51 - Use the Git executable configured in VS Code when creating worktrees on Windows.
    • #13542 47dc16b - Open running background agents directly from the header and show an overflow count for agents that do not fit.
    • #12830 bb20d34 Thanks @thomasboom! - Open files by clicking their names in read tool headers.
    • #13560 454b101 - Keep dismissed background agents hidden when switching sessions or returning from History and empty chats.
    • #13531 c1d1e9f - Keep focus in active text fields when questions appear or refresh.
    • #13476 45202c0 - Remove deleted worktree checkpoints without losing conversation history and stop showing activity for deleted sessions.
    • #13548 039a235 - Queue Agent Manager follow-up prompts when the target session is busy instead of rejecting them.
    • #13529 8cb1931 - Stop offscreen loading animations while preserving their original appearance, and release obsolete transcript pages from memory.
    • #13530 5d1313f - Search the latest 5,000 chats across the worktree family and display the best 50 matches in the sidebar and Agent Manager. Skip inaccessible folders from unrelated projects when finding past chats.
    • #13504 f293ecb - Show consistent running, completion, and input-required indicators across session tabs and Agent Manager worktrees.
    • #13553 1e13220 - Keep session and worktree activity indicators stable during routine server reconnects without hiding connection failures.
    • #13422 83e2772 - Recognize sessions discovered in managed Agent Manager worktrees during orchestration actions.

    JetBrains 7.1.1

    Kilo adds Mermaid diagram rendering in JetBrains chat with zoom, pan, fit-to-view, source view, and PNG copy, plus clearer worktree session states and guidance. It also improves retry handling, failure feedback, compaction recovery, subagent results, and updates the pinned CLI.

    Added

    Render Mermaid diagrams directly in JetBrains chat, with editor-tab viewing, zoom, pan, fit-to-view, source view, and PNG copy support.

    Add clearer JetBrains worktree session empty states, labeled create actions, and a persisted toggle for showing or hiding the worktree session list.

    Fixed

    Retry failed JetBrains turns by continuing the original request, keeping transcript and workspace context intact instead of rolling back or appending a placeholder prompt.

    Surface JetBrains failed-turn errors more clearly and hide the failure card as soon as Retry starts.

    Prevent compaction recovery from replaying requests incorrectly, looping, or dropping pending tool progress in Kilo Core.

    Avoid unsafe indexing and checkpoint cleanup behavior in filesystem roots, home directories, and protected parent directories.

    Return real subagent results instead of empty task responses in Kilo Core.

    Avoid duplicated plan-mode permission rule stacking.

    Changed

    Update the pinned Kilo Core CLI used by JetBrains from 7.4.23 to 7.5.5.

    Improve JetBrains worktree session guidance with branch-aware copy and localized empty-state text.

    JetBrains 7.1.0

    Kilo adds JetBrains Agent Manager beta, new worktree creation flows, richer session and badge tracking, workflow and logging settings, clearer permission prompts, and sub-agent tabs. It also improves reliability, chat retry handling, startup speed, and failure states while updating the pinned CLI.

    Added

    Add the JetBrains Agent Manager beta for creating, opening, organizing, renaming, deleting, and tracking worktree-based tasks and their sessions from the IDE.

    Show Agent Manager worktree activity, changes, ahead/behind, pull request, failure, and attention badges with clearer row actions, menus, tooltips, and drag-and-drop reordering.

    Add New, From PR, and From Branch tabs to the New Worktree dialog for clearer worktree creation and import flows.

    Add JetBrains logging settings with log reveal and backend log download actions for easier diagnostics.

    Add JetBrains workflow settings so workflows can be reviewed and managed from the plugin.

    Show permission-prompt diffs and approval reasons on JetBrains tool cards before acting on tool requests.

    Open sub-agent sessions in JetBrains editor tabs with live collapsed task previews.

    Add Retry to failed JetBrains chat turns so the original request can be rerun without retyping.

    Fixed

    Improve Agent Manager reliability by anchoring worktrees to the main repository storage, pruning stale metadata, hiding dead managed worktrees, refusing unmanaged paths, and preserving session history by worktree.

    Keep failed, stopped, deleted, resumed, and recovered JetBrains sessions represented correctly in chat, session lists, worktree rows, activity badges, and Agents-tab attention dots.

    Detect unsupported JetBrains remote workspaces and missing or moved worktree folders with clearer in-session states instead of ambiguous failures.

    Keep slash completion open and responsive while typing quickly.

    Stabilize JetBrains chat and Agent Manager layout, including header popups, PR badges, row spacing, hover popups, overlays, worktree tab painting, and dialog branch pickers.

    Preserve project-level snapshot disabling across restarts after choosing to disable snapshots from the slow-repo prompt.

    Keep Ask and Plan modes read-only even when broad permission rules are configured.

    Improve Kilo Core reliability for JetBrains by preserving output budgets, recovering reasoning-only incomplete responses, preserving Cerebras completion limits, restoring terminal startup, and removing duplicate skill catalog content from prompts.

    Fix Agent Manager session creation on strict providers and OpenAI Responses API models by allowing nullable tool fields and explicit provider selection.

    Clear empty failed assistant responses when sending a normal follow-up after a provider failure.

    Changed

    Update the pinned Kilo Core CLI used by JetBrains from 7.4.22 to 7.4.23.

    Improve Kilo Core cold and warm startup speed for JetBrains and other clients.

    Show failed-turn details in a clearer error card with the error kind and retry action, while manually stopped turns render as a muted "Stopped" note.

    Put new, imported, or moved Agent Manager worktrees at the top of the list unless manually reordered.

    Make Agent Manager rows visually quieter with regular-weight labels, subdued idle icons, and less stale deleted-session status.

    Remove the experimental agent requirements and task-aware output pruning features from the bundled Kilo Core runtime.

    Remove an unused JetBrains Compose compiler plugin dependency.
