feat(setup): add kimi agent adapter for Kimi Code CLI - #793
Conversation
Kimi Code CLI had no one-liner setup: users had to hand-edit mcp.json to register the engram MCP server and paste the Memory Protocol into AGENTS.md themselves. This adds a declarative "kimi" adapter to the setup registry so "engram setup kimi" registers mcpServers.engram in $KIMI_CODE_HOME/mcp.json and writes the Memory Protocol as a marker-delimited block in $KIMI_CODE_HOME/AGENTS.md, both idempotently and preserving existing content. The adapter is declarative (same shape as qwen/windsurf/kiro) rather than a kimi.plugin.json plugin because Kimi Code plugins only install interactively from the /plugins TUI, while mcp.json and AGENTS.md are documented stable surfaces a CLI installer can write safely. - honor KIMI_CODE_HOME when set, ignoring relative values like the existing XDG helpers - cover the registry entry, slug list, env handling, CLI usage and post-install output with tests - document the new agent in README, AGENT-SETUP, INSTALLATION and codebase/integrations Refs Gentleman-Programming#650

Requesting three bounded changes before this can migrate onto current main.
- Build the post-install verification messages from the effective
kimiMCPPath()andkimiAgentsPath()values. Today setup honors an absoluteKIMI_CODE_HOME, then tells the user to inspect hardcoded~/.kimi-codepaths. - State in
docs/AGENT-SETUP.mdthat only an absoluteKIMI_CODE_HOMEis honored and relative values fall back to the default root, matching the accepted issue contract. - Extend the custom-home test to run
Install("kimi")and assert that bothmcp.jsonandAGENTS.mdare actually written under the override, not only that the helper functions return it.
The official Kimi paths and MCP shape are otherwise correct. I verified this exact head's focused setup/CLI tests and git diff --check; they pass. Please update from current main and rerun the full required checks afterward. Issue #650 still needs an actual assignable maintainer owner before the migration gate can pass.
engram setup kimi honors an absolute KIMI_CODE_HOME, but the post-install steps always pointed at ~/.kimi-code, sending anyone with an override to files setup never touched. Those lines now come from kimiMCPPath() and kimiAgentsPath(), so they follow the resolved data root. AGENT-SETUP states the absolute-only contract: a relative KIMI_CODE_HOME is ignored and falls back to the default root, so config never lands in whatever directory engram happened to run from. The custom-home test installs for real instead of only checking the path helpers: it asserts mcp.json and AGENTS.md land under the override, that the default root is never created, and that the next steps name those files. The CLI case moves out of the post-install table because it needs explicit KIMI_CODE_HOME control. Refs Gentleman-Programming#650

All three changes are in, on top of current 1. Post-install steps built from the effective paths. The two verification lines are now formatted from 2. Absolute-only contract documented. 3. Custom-home test now installs. One deliberate omission: the adapter Checks rerun on the updated head: I also dropped the note about On #650: you assigned yourself four minutes after the review, so the owner gate looks satisfied from here — flagging it in case a different owner is intended. One thing I can't do from this side: the |

Thanks for addressing the three requested changes. I pushed a maintainer follow-up to your branch without rewriting history:
The final PR diff remains scoped to the declarative Kimi adapter: 8 files, 181 additions, and 4 deletions. Focused setup/CLI tests, E2E server tests, I’ll refresh the review decision after required CI completes. |

The three requested changes are resolved on the refreshed head: post-install guidance uses effective Kimi paths, the absolute-only KIMI_CODE_HOME contract is documented and covered through a real install, and the README now keeps one canonical setup table. The branch is current with main, the final diff remains scoped, and all required CI checks pass. Approved.

Scope vs the Claude Code adapter
engram setup claude-codedrives Claude Code's own CLI (claude plugin marketplace add+claude plugin install), so it delivers lifecycle hooks, slash commands, and compaction recovery on top of MCP. That pattern is not reproducible here: Kimi Code exposes nopluginsubcommand — its CLI commands areexport,provider,acp,web,server,login,doctor,vis,migrate,upgrade— and plugins install only from the TUI via/plugins install <local-path-or-zip-url>. So this adapter delivers the MCP tools plus the Memory Protocol instructions, and not a hook-driven session lifecycle. That is a platform limit, not an implementation choice, and it is why the declarative shape (rather than acustom:installer) is the aligned one here.A plugin would not close that gap today even if it could be installed non-interactively: plugin-provided hooks do not run in Kimi Code's interactive sessions on Windows, while the same hooks fire reliably under
kimi -p(upstream #2070, open). Measured on 0.36.0 and 0.38.0: 3/3 interactive sessions produced no hook invocation, 2/2 headless sessions did, with the runs interleaved minutes apart on one machine. MCP registration is unaffected, which is what this adapter relies on.If an Engram Kimi plugin is already installed
Kimi namespaces plugin-provided MCP servers as
plugin-<pluginId>:<serverName>, while user-global entries frommcp.jsonkeep their raw name, andappMcpServerDescriptors()returns[...globals, ...plugins]. The two therefore coexist rather than override: a user who installed an Engram plugin and then runsengram setup kimiwould get two enabled engram servers and see the memory tools twice. No such plugin is published today, so this only affects anyone running a locally built one.Summary by CodeRabbit
