Description
The kilo_code row in src/agentseam/data/matrix.json (added in #173) rests on vendor documentation only (basis: vendor-docs). Nobody has tested it against a running Kilo Code. This issue asks for evidence that confirms the row or proves it wrong.
What the row claims
| Claim | Source (doc, version, date read) |
|---|---|
Tier unadapted, grade none at every event. Kilo Code documents no command hook, meaning no config key that runs an external process with a JSON payload on a lifecycle event. |
Schema: https://app.kilo.ai/config.json (no key containing hook). Read against @kilocode/cli 7.8.8, 2026-10-11 |
Its only interception surface is in-process. That surface is the OpenCode-derived JS/TS plugin API: tool.execute.before, which can throw to block. Plugins load from .kilo/plugin/ (legacy .kilocode/plugin/) or the config's plugin array. It works in the CLI and the VS Code extension. |
https://kilo.ai/docs/automate/extending/plugins ("applies to the current VSCode extension & CLI"), 2026-10-11 |
The vendor maps Claude Code's PreToolUse to that plugin hook, not to a command hook. |
https://kilo.ai/articles/claude-code-to-kilo-code-migration-guide (section "Turn hooks into plugins"), 2026-10-11 |
| No command hook has been announced. Kilo-Org/kilocode#7859, which asked for PreToolUse command hooks, was closed in a bulk close of legacy-extension issues. The close said nothing about command hooks. | Kilo-Org/kilocode#7859, read 2026-10-11 |
It reads AGENTS.md for standing instructions (instructions.py). |

How to test it
- Install the CLI with
npm install -g @kilocode/cli, or the VS Code extensionkilocode.kilo-code. Recordkilo --version, or the extension version. - Command hooks. Check whether this release accepts a command hook. Add a hook-like key to
kilo.jsoncand startkilo.- The row holds if the key is rejected, or if the command never runs.
- The row is disproved if any documented key makes Kilo run an external command with a JSON payload before a tool call.
- In-process plugin. Put this file at
.kilo/plugin/block.ts:Ask the agent to runimport type { Plugin } from "@kilocode/plugin" const block: Plugin = async () => ({ "tool.execute.before": async (input) => { if (input.tool === "bash") throw new Error("blocked") } }) export default { id: "block", server: block }
echo hi.- The row's description of the surface holds if the bash call is refused with "blocked".
- If the call runs, the plugin surface is not what the row says.
- Instructions. Put a distinctive line in
AGENTS.mdand ask the agent to repeat its instructions. The line should come back.
How to submit evidence
Comment here, or use the evidence-report issue form, with:
- the Kilo client version (CLI or extension) and your OS;
- a transcript or screen recording of steps 2–4;
- the
src/agentseam/data/vendor-releases.jsonentrytools/watch_versions.pyshould track, if@kilocode/cliis the wrong feed.
A row moves from vendor-docs to tested or witnessed only through evidence like this, never by editing its basis by hand.
If a claim is wrong, a fix PR is welcome. It should change the row's verified record and notes, and link this issue.
