MiMoCode is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. It can read and write code, run commands, manage Git, and use a persistent memory system to keep a deep understanding of your project across sessions while continuously improving itself.

MiMo Auto is built in as a free-for-limited-time channel, so you can start with zero configuration. MiMoCode also supports connecting to any mainstream LLM provider API.

Quick Start

# One-line install
curl -fsSL https://mimo.xiaomi.com/install | bash

# Or install via npm
npm install -g @mimo-ai/cli

# Run
mimo

The first launch guides you through configuration automatically. Supported options:

• MiMo Auto (free for a limited time) — anonymous channel, zero configuration
• Xiaomi MiMo Platform — OAuth login
• Import from Claude Code — migrate existing authentication in one step
• Custom Provider — add any OpenAI-compatible API in the TUI

Core Features

Multiple Agents

| Agent | Description | |--------|------| | build | Default. Full tool permissions for development | | plan | Read-only analysis mode for code exploration and solution design | | compose | Orchestration mode for specs-driven development and skill-driven workflows |

Press Tab to switch between primary agents. Subagents are created by the system as needed.

Persistent Memory

Cross-session memory powered by SQLite FTS5 full-text search:

• Project memory (MEMORY.md) — persistent project knowledge, rules, and architecture decisions
• Session checkpoint (checkpoint.md) — structured state snapshots maintained automatically by the checkpoint-writer subagent
• Scratch notes (notes.md) — temporary note area for agents
• Task progress (tasks/<id>/progress.md) — per-task logs

Memory is injected automatically when a session resumes, so the agent does not need to relearn project context.

Intelligent Context Management

• Automatic checkpoints — decides when to save session state based on the model context window
• Context reconstruction — when context approaches the limit, rebuilds it from the latest checkpoint, project memory, task progress, and retained recent messages so the agent can continue the current task
• Budgeted injection — uses a token budget to control how much checkpoint, memory, and notes content enters context, with importance ranking

Task Tracking

A tree-shaped task system (T1, T1.1, T1.2, …) that integrates automatically with the checkpoint system, so task progress is preserved when sessions resume.

Subagent System

The primary agent can create subagents on demand. Subagents share the current session context and can work in parallel, with lifecycle tracking, cancellation, and background execution.

Goal / Stop Condition

The /goal command sets a stopping condition for a session. When the agent tries to stop, an independent judge model evaluates the conversation to decide whether the condition is truly satisfied — preventing premature "optimistic stops" during autonomous work.

Compose Mode

Compose mode provides a structured workflow for specs-driven development. It includes built-in skills for planning, execution, code review, TDD, debugging, verification, and merging — orchestrating the full lifecycle from spec to shipped code.

Voice Input

Real-time streaming voice input powered by TenVAD and MiMo ASR. Activate with /voice, then speak — audio is segmented by pauses and transcribed incrementally into the input. Available for MiMo logged-in users. Requires sox (brew install sox on macOS, other platforms similar).

Dream & Distill

• /dream — scans recent session traces, extracts persistent knowledge into project memory, and removes outdated entries
• /distill — discovers repeated manual workflows in recent work and packages high-confidence candidates into reusable skills, subagents, or commands

Configuration

MiMoCode is configured via .mimocode/mimocode.json in the project directory (or ~/.config/mimocode/mimocode.json globally). Key options include:

• Provider and model selection
• Agent permissions and custom agents
• Checkpoint and memory behavior
• MCP server connections
• Keybindings and theme

Max Mode (parallel best-of-N reasoning with judge selection) can be enabled via experimental.maxMode in the config.
