Project overview
Kode is an open-source terminal assistant with multi-model switching, expert consultation, specialized subagents, code editing, command execution, MCP extensions, AGENTS.md discovery, and an ACP server mode. It supports interactive, non-interactive, and plan workflows, plus plugins and model configuration files. Its default mode skips most approval prompts, so safe mode is better for sensitive work. The repository also says a major maintenance and refactoring phase runs from July through December 2026.
