Repository-level Agent Guide

Reply in the same language as the user.

This is a TypeScript monorepo built for agent-assisted development. Keep the root AGENTS.md limited to hot-path rules: the project map, hard constraints, and workflow requirements — things every task needs to know.

Working Principles

• Think from first principles. Start from real requirements, code facts, and verification results; if the goal is unclear, discuss it with the user first.
• Treat code, not documentation, as the source of truth. Unless the user explicitly says otherwise, do not read ordinary Markdown just to understand the implementation.
• Before making code changes, read the relevant code and the most recent constraints, and follow the nearest AGENTS.md in the directory tree.
• Keep changes focused. Do not slip in unrelated refactors along the way.
• When committing, do not add any co-author attribution, and do not reveal the identity of the agent in commit messages, PR descriptions, or any explanatory text.

Project Map

• apps/nori-code: the CLI / TUI application. It consumes core capabilities through @moonshot-ai/kimi-code-sdk and must not depend directly on @moonshot-ai/agent-core. When writing or modifying its terminal UI, use the write-tui skill (.agents/skills/write-tui/SKILL.md).
• apps/kimi-web: the browser web UI, a peer to the TUI. Vue 3 + Vite + vue-i18n; talks to the server over REST + WebSocket under /api/v1. It must not depend on @moonshot-ai/agent-core (wire types are re-implemented locally). See apps/kimi-web/AGENTS.md.
• apps/vis, apps/vis/server, apps/vis/web: visual debugging tools for sessions and replays.
• packages/agent-core: the unified agent engine, including Agent, Session, profile, skills, tools, plan, permission, background, records, the in-process DI service layer (src/services/), and other core capabilities.
• packages/node-sdk: the public TypeScript SDK and harness.
• packages/kosong: the LLM / provider abstraction layer.
• packages/kaos: the execution environment and file/process abstractions.
• packages/oauth: Nori OAuth and managed auth utilities.
• packages/telemetry: shared client-side telemetry infrastructure.
• packages/server: the Nori Code server. Hosts agent-core sessions and exposes them over REST + WebSocket (/api/v1); bootstrapped from src/start.ts and consumed by apps/nori-code. See packages/server/AGENTS.md.
• packages/server-e2e: live e2e tests and scenarios against a running server (KIMI_SERVER_URL, default http://127.0.0.1:58771). See packages/server-e2e/AGENTS.md.

Environment Requirements

• Node.js: >=24.15.0 (from the root package.json engines; .nvmrc is 24.15.0, used by nvm / fnm / mise to pick the minimum recommended version).
• pnpm: 10.33.0 (from the root package.json packageManager).
• pnpm install will fail when the Node version is not satisfied, because .npmrc sets engine-strict=true.

Monorepo Workspace Maintenance

• pnpm-workspace.yaml is the source of truth for workspace membership, but flake.nix also contains hardcoded workspacePaths and workspaceNames lists.
• Whenever you add or remove a workspace package, you MUST update both pnpm-workspace.yaml and flake.nix — for every package, including leaf / test / e2e packages that nothing depends on.
  • pnpm-workspace.yaml uses globs (packages/*, apps/*), so most packages land there automatically; flake.nix is fully manual and is where omissions happen.
  • Missing a path in flake.nix's workspacePaths will silently drop files from the Nix build's src fileset.
  • Missing a name in flake.nix's workspaceNames will break pnpmConfigHook because dependencies for that workspace will not be fetched.
• The automated "Check flake.nix workspace sync" (scripts/check-nix-workspace.mjs) only validates the transitive dependency closure of @moonshot-ai/kimi-code. A leaf package outside that closure (e.g. an e2e package nobody imports) slips through even when it is missing from flake.nix. A green check is therefore NOT proof that flake.nix is fully in sync — keep it updated by hand on every add/remove, do not rely on the check to catch omissions.

General Coding Rules

• For optional object properties, pass undefined directly instead of using conditional spread.
  • YES: { user }
  • NO: { ...(user ? { user } : undefined) }
• Optional object properties do not need to additionally allow undefined in the type.
  • YES: interface Options { user?: User }
  • NO: interface Options { user?: User | undefined }
• Internal methods with only a single parameter should not be turned into options objects just for stylistic uniformity.
• Except for a package's index.ts, other index.ts files should prefer export * from './module';.
• The Agent class in packages/agent-core/src/agent must be usable on its own. The constructor must not force the caller to create a Session instance, nor require an agentId or session. It may accept an optional sessionId as a request-config hint — for example mapped to the provider's prompt_cache_key — but the instance must not hold sessionId, and must not depend on the Session lifecycle, metadata, or parent/child relationship logic.
• Do not add too many new test files. Prefer adding tests to the existing test file of the corresponding component or module.
• When a test fails because of a user modification, default to fixing the test first; do not change the implementation to satisfy an old test unless the implementation truly has a bug.
• Do not sacrifice code quality for external compatibility unless the user explicitly asks for it. Breaking changes go through changesets and a major bump, gated by the rule below.

Experimental Features

• Gate a not-yet-public feature behind an experimental flag. Add the flag to the registry at packages/agent-core/src/flags/registry.ts, then check it with flags.enabled('my-feature'). Flags are env-driven and default off: KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_<NAME> toggles one, KIMI_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_FLAG enables all. Release by flipping the entry's default to true.

Where to Update Instructions

• Hard rules that affect almost every task: update the root AGENTS.md.
• Rules that only affect a specific directory: update the nearest sub-directory AGENTS.md.
• Keep instruction updates focused and supported by code facts.

Workflow Requirements

• Prefer rg / rg --files when reading code.
• When designing changes, follow existing boundaries and local patterns first.
• In public text and test data, replace real internal identifiers with neutral placeholders such as example.com, example.test, and YOUR_API_KEY. Before opening a PR, ask a read-only agent to audit the diff for context-specific internal identifiers.
• When creating a PR, the PR title must follow Conventional Commit style, e.g. chore: remove legacy format commands.
• When an AI agent opens or updates a PR, fill in .github/pull_request_template.md — link the related issue or explain the problem, then describe what changed. Do not leave placeholder text or submit a generic summary of the diff.
• Do not submit vague AI-generated PR text. The human author must understand the change well enough to explain the code, edge cases, and why the approach fits this repository.
• After finishing a task and before submitting a PR, you must run the gen-changesets skill (see .agents/skills/gen-changesets/SKILL.md) and generate a changeset under .changeset/ according to its rules.
• When generating a changeset, never decide on a major bump on your own. When you judge a change to meet the major criteria (breaking changes, incompatible user configuration, renamed or removed commands/arguments, changed behavior semantics, etc.), you must stop and explain it to the user and ask for confirmation. Only write major after the user has explicitly agreed. Otherwise default to minor (and fall back to patch if minor is unclear). See the "Hard rule: confirm with the user before writing major" section in .agents/skills/gen-changesets/SKILL.md for details.
• Prefer importing via import ... from '#/...', which serves the same purpose as import ... from '@/...'.
