Kimi Cli is an open-source command-line interface for developers and researchers that provides direct terminal access to Moonshot AI’s Kimi large language model.

• Facilitates real-time conversational AI interactions using streaming response protocols for low-latency feedback.
• Supports multi-file context processing and local document uploads for large-scale text analysis and summarization.
• Manages persistent session history and API authentication via environment variables or local configuration files.
• Integrates with Unix pipes and standard I/O to enable automated scripting and data processing workflows.
• Built with Node.js and distributed via npm for cross-platform compatibility across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.
• Utilizes the Moonshot AI API (v1) to leverage high-concurrency inference and long-context window capabilities.

Ideal for automating content generation, debugging code directly within the terminal, and integrating LLM capabilities into CI/CD pipelines.
