Kilo CLI¶

Curupira runs the Kilo CLI in run mode with JSON output:

kilo run --format json [options] -- <prompt>

Install and sign in¶

npm install -g @kilocode/cli
kilo auth login

Kilo and its provider integrations own authentication. Curupira never reads or stores credentials.

Profile options¶

Option	Native argument	Notes
`model`	`--model <provider/model>`	Must use the `provider/model` form; anything else is a configuration error.
`agent`	`--agent <agent>`	An existing Kilo agent.
`effort`	`--variant <variant>`	Provider-specific reasoning variant such as `high`, `max`, or `minimal`.
`auto_approve = true`	`--auto`	Approves permissions that are not explicitly denied. Use with care.

Kilo's --thinking only displays thinking blocks, so it is not used for effort. Without auto_approve, Kilo rejects permission requests in headless runs instead of waiting for input.

Example¶

[agents.profiles.kilo]
provider = "kilo"
model = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
effort = "high"

Sessions¶

Every JSON record carries the session id, which is saved with the task. An interrupted task resumes with --session <session_id>.
