Pilabase AI CLI

The Pilabase AI CLI gives you a rich command-line experience for working with the Pilabase AI worker.

Install

cd kimi-cli
npm install

Run

npm start -- generate -p "Write a hello function" -o ../kimi-ai/generated/hello.ts

Login and support

Pilabase AI supports local password login and browser-based support login.

• pilabase-ai login — prompt for email/password
• pilabase-ai login --token <token> — save an existing token
• pilabase-ai login --browser — open browser support login and poll for a token
• pilabase-ai support — open the support login flow and wait for a token
• pilabase-ai logout — clear saved credentials

The CLI stores credentials in ~/.pilabase-ai/config.json and will also read legacy ~/.kimi-cli/config.json if present.

Commands

• pilabase-ai test — verify worker, auth, and AI connectivity
• pilabase-ai status — show current CLI configuration and token status
• pilabase-ai profile — fetch authenticated profile information
• pilabase-ai generate -p <prompt> — generate code from a prompt
• pilabase-ai explain -c <file-or-code> — explain code with AI
• pilabase-ai refactor -c <file-or-code> — refactor code with AI
• pilabase-ai generate-tests -c <file-or-code> — produce tests for code
• pilabase-ai repo-context — display repo status, commits, and file excerpts
• pilabase-ai chat -m "Hello" — send chat messages to the AI

Example usage

pilabase-ai login --browser
pilabase-ai status
pilabase-ai generate -p "Create a React counter component" -l TypeScript -o ./generated/counter.tsx
pilabase-ai chat -m "What should I name this component?"

Notes

• pilabase-ai is the main executable.
• A compatibility wrapper remains at bin/kimi-cli.js for legacy scripts.
• Use --show-thinking to see intermediate AI reasoning when available.

The CLI now includes richer formatted headers, panels, and status output for a cleaner interactive experience. Run node bin/kimi-cli.js status to inspect your current configuration.
