Kimi Code Skills

Kimi Code CLI reads the shared ~/.agents/skills/ as well as its own ~/.kimi-code/skills/, so one folder can serve several tools. 104 ready-made Skills for video, images, web pages and slides.

Checkout is not open yet: it opens once our payment provider finishes its review, and downloads open with it. Nothing is charged until then.

Skills to try in Kimi Code

Each one is a plain SKILL.md folder, the format Kimi Code reads. Skills that make images or video call FAL with your own key, so your agent needs to be allowed to run terminal commands.

How to add a Skill to Kimi Code

Get the Skill’s ZIP from its card once downloads open, then:

  1. Unzip the Skill so its folder sits at ~/.kimi-code/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md for every project, or at .kimi-code/skills/<skill>/ in a project.
  2. Start a new Kimi Code session.
  3. Type /skill: and find it in the slash command list.
  4. Ask for the result, or run /skill:<skill> with any extra text after it.

Good to know

  • Project beats user. If the same name is in several places, the project Skill wins, then your user Skill, then folders from extra_skill_dirs, then built-in Skills.
  • SKILL.md needs name and description. In a Skill folder, both fields must be in the frontmatter or the Skill fails to parse. Ours have both.
  • The project is the nearest .git. Kimi Code looks for project Skills at the nearest folder above you that contains .git, so start it inside the repository.

Skills vs pasting a prompt

Kimi Code’s docs put it this way: a Skill keeps the instructions in a file you can reuse across projects and teams, load with a slash command, and let the model call when needed, instead of pasting the same text into every prompt.

FAQ

Kimi Code Skills: questions

Where is the Kimi Code skills folder?

User Skills go in ~/.kimi-code/skills/ (or $KIMI_CODE_HOME/skills/) or ~/.agents/skills/. Project Skills go in .kimi-code/skills/ or .agents/skills/ at the project root, the nearest folder containing .git. Source (opens in a new tab)

How do I run a Skill in Kimi Code?

Type /skill: and its name, for example /skill:code-style; text after the name goes to the Skill. /<name> also works when no built-in or plugin command has that name. The model can also call a Skill on its own from its description. Source (opens in a new tab)

I added a Skill and Kimi Code doesn’t see it.

Start a new session. Check that the file is named SKILL.md inside the Skill’s own folder and that its frontmatter has both name and description. Source (opens in a new tab)

Can Kimi Code use my Claude Code and Codex Skills?

Kimi Code ships a built-in /import-from-cc-codex command that imports Claude Code and Codex instructions, Skills and MCP settings. It also reads ~/.agents/skills/, a folder meant to be shared across tools. Source (opens in a new tab)
