用 Rust 实现、面向生产使用的终端 Coding Agent,核心交互与运行时对齐 kimi-code CLI。 TUI 与 Agent Server 可分离,中间走 RPC(默认进程内 memory transport;也支持独立 `server` 模式)。
- 低内存、高性能
- 支持 Win / macOS / Linux(x86_64 / arm64)
- 权限模式:
manual/yolo/auto/plan - 内置工具:Read / Write / Edit / Grep / Glob / Bash / TodoList / Goal / Task / AskUser / SelectTools / Cron / Web / Media / Skill / Plan
- 会话、事件、turn 队列和后台 Agent 任务统一持久化到
~/.kkagent/transcripts.db - Bash 系统隔离:Linux Bubblewrap、macOS Seatbelt、Windows Job Object
- MCP / Skills / Hooks / 插件市场(配置驱动)
快速安装
macOS / Linux(推荐)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ken-u/kkagent/main/install.sh | sh
安装器会自动识别 macOS/Linux 与 x86_64/arm64,下载最新 Release 并校验 SHA-256。Linux 默认使用 musl 静态包(`unknown-linux-musl`),无需系统 OpenSSL。`/usr/local/bin` 可写时安装到该目录,否则自动使用 `~/.local/bin`。也可指定目录、版本或 glibc 包:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ken-u/kkagent/main/install.sh
KKAGENT_INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/bin" KKAGENT_VERSION=0.2.0 sh install.sh
KKAGENT_TARGET=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu sh install.sh
安装完成后会同时安装 `kkagent-update`,以后直接执行该命令即可升级,且会沿用原安装目录。TUI 默认每 24 小时在后台检查一次 GitHub Release;只显示提示,不会自动下载。可在配置中设置 `[ui] check_updates = false` 关闭。
手动下载
从 [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/Ken-u/kkagent/releases/latest) 下载对应平台的 tar.gz / zip,按 `SHA256SUMS` 校验后将 `kkagent` 放到 `PATH` 中即可。
