    Difference between Kilo Code, Roo Code and Cline

    Kilo Code started as a fork of Roo Code, which itself is a fork of Cline. We frequently merge features from these open-source projects and contribute improvements back. Built on these foundations, Kilo Code is independently developed with our own vision for AI coding agents.

    • No need to fiddle with API keys, Kilo Code ships with the latest AI models plugged in, including Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 4 Sonnet & Opus, and GPT-5
    • MCP Server Marketplace: Easily find, and use MCP servers to extend the agent capabilities.
    • Autocomplete (experimental)

    Kilo Code is a direct fork from Roo Code, and also includes the following features from Cline (and our own features):

    • System notifications: Get notified when the agent is done with a task.
    • Easy model connection: batteries included.
    • Editing previous messages
    • Assisted commit messages: we write git commit messages for you based on what changed
