oh-my-kimi (OMK)
The 10-second version
OMK turns Kimi Code CLI into a bounded coding team with isolated worktrees, DAG-based execution, evidence gates before completion, local graph memory, and a live HUD/cockpit for operator control.
- Not a prompt pack.
- Not a model buffet.
- A Kimi-native control plane for shipping code with verification.
npm install -g @oh-my-kimi/cli

Current stable package: v1.1.15. Stable daily-use core with alpha orchestration surfaces; release-gated and evidence-gated flows are labelled in CLI help and docs.
Share your verified run: open a Verified run issue with your raw prompt, generated diff, omk verify --json, replay screenshot, and known limitation so others can inspect real evidence.
Why OMK
| Agents say "done" too early | Evidence gates require files, diffs, summaries, or passing commands before completion is accepted. |
| Parallel workers corrupt context | Run-scoped state and Git worktrees keep agent lanes isolated until review or merge. |
| Long sessions lose memory | Local graph memory stores goals, decisions, risks, commands, files, evidence, and concepts. |
| Kimi needs operator visibility | HUD and cockpit expose run state, TODOs, ETA, usage, workers, and changed files. |
| Extra models create chaos | Kimi keeps write/merge authority; provider lanes stay advisory, review, QA, or research scoped. |
| Hooks, MCP, and skills drift | omk doctor, omk skill, omk mcp, and generated project assets make the runtime inspectable. |
| Repeated agent workflows stay ad hoc | Packaged OMK skills now cover memory, surgical coding, alignment/TDD, React diagnostics, managed-agent teamwork, legal workflows, quality gates, and release review. |
Mental model: Kimi writes. OMK coordinates, verifies, remembers, and guards.

1. Kimi-native control plane
OMK is built around Kimi Code instead of treating Kimi as a generic backend. Project rules, generated agents, hooks, slash skills, MCP configuration, and run state are shaped so Kimi remains the primary writer and merger.
2. DAG execution
A request can become a task graph instead of a single linear prompt. Nodes can carry roles, dependencies, retries, fallback routing, timeout presets, heartbeat monitoring, and evidence requirements. This makes long-running work explicit enough to inspect, resume, verify, or block.
3. Evidence gates
OMK does not accept completion by narration alone. A node can require evidence such as:
- file exists
- command passes
- git diff is non-empty
- summary or evidence marker is present
If evidence fails, the runtime can retry, skip, block dependents, or route to fallback handling.
4. Decision trace coverage
Every policy decision — routing, context brokering, repair, scheduling, provider selection, ensemble decisions, and skill assignment — is recorded in .omk/runs/<runId>/decisions.jsonl. This makes runs inspectable and reproducible rather than opaque.
5. Context brokering and budget optimization
OMK manages context as bounded capsules rather than unbounded conversation history. The context broker shapes what each agent receives based on role and task, while the budget optimizer estimates tokens before expensive calls to prevent runaway context accumulation.
6. Local graph memory
OMK stores durable project memory as a graph: goals, decisions, risks, tasks, commands, files, evidence, and concepts. The graph gives Kimi a smaller, safer context target before it edits a large repository.
7. Worktree isolation
Parallel lanes can run in isolated Git worktrees. That keeps experiments reversible and makes review/merge a deliberate step instead of a side effect of several agents editing the same files at once.
8. Skills, hooks, MCP, and agents as runtime inputs
OMK treats project instructions, agent skills, generated hooks, and MCP servers as part of the control plane:
AGENTS.md and DESIGN.md define project behavior and UI taste.
.omk/ stores run state, memory, plans, reports, and generated runtime assets.
omk skill manages Kimi-facing skills and slash workflows.
- Skill Assigner automatically matches skills, MCP servers, tools, and hooks to DAG nodes based on intent and role (14 rules covering web-design, diagram-design, code-review, security-audit, debugging, and more).
omk mcp inspects project and user MCP configuration.
omk doctor checks Kimi, Git, hooks, MCP, skills, and runtime health.
9. Ensemble decisions and repair policy
When multiple agents can work on the same node, the ensemble runner evaluates progress, risk, resource utilization, and quality across weighted analytical perspectives. If evidence fails, the repair policy decides whether to retry with context, skip, block dependents, or route to fallback handling — all recorded in decision traces.
10. Live operator visibility
omk hud and omk cockpit expose active work instead of hiding agent state inside logs. The goal is simple: humans should see what is running, what changed, what is blocked, and what still needs proof.
11. Advisory provider lanes
OMK can route research, review, QA, or risk analysis through provider lanes such as DeepSeek, but the run stays bounded. Kimi keeps write/merge authority, and external model output is advisory evidence rather than uncontrolled patch authority.
12. Open Design bridge
omk design open-design --open launches a local Open Design workflow and connects it back to OMK. Use it when the task needs a visual design surface, then bring the output through DESIGN.md-aware implementation and quality gates.
13. Run replay and inspection
omk replay, omk inspect, and omk diff-runs turn run artifacts into an inspectable timeline. Replay reconstructs chronology; inspect deep-dives into context, evidence, decisions, and repair chains; diff-runs compares two manifests for reproducibility debugging.
14. Native safety path
OMK includes a Rust native safety loader path and CI-backed artifact matrix. JavaScript remains the CLI surface; native safety helpers are selected when available and fall back safely when they are not.
Five operating rituals
| Ship | You want Kimi to implement with verification | omk chat, omk parallel "...", omk verify |
| Inspect | You need run history or current state | omk runs, omk replay, omk inspect, omk diff-runs, omk summary-show, omk hud |
| Design | You need visual/product direction | omk design, omk design open-design --open |
| Remember | You need durable project context | omk graph view --open, omk index |
| Guard | You need safety and release confidence | omk doctor, npm run release:check, omk review |
Example: one prompt to a verified run
omk init
omk doctor
omk plan "Add a settings page with tests"
omk parallel "Implement the settings page from the plan"
omk verify --json
omk summary-show
Expected operator loop:
- OMK loads project rules, skills, hooks, MCP status, and current Git state.
- Kimi receives a shaped prompt with explicit constraints.
- The scheduler creates bounded lanes for implementation, review, or QA.
- Evidence gates check required files, diffs, summaries, or commands.
- Graph memory records decisions, risks, files, and evidence for the next run.
- HUD/cockpit shows progress and remaining blockers.
Reproducible examples
| One-prompt landing page | Next.js + Tailwind landing page from a single sentence | RUN_REPORT.md, video, known limitations |
| Neon Courier 2D | Browser 2D runner game in TypeScript | RUN_REPORT.md, source, known limitations |
| Neon Courier FPS | Three.js first-person prototype | RUN_REPORT.md, source, known limitations |
OMK examples are intentionally honest: prompts, generated outputs, run reports, and known limitations stay visible.
How OMK differs from other oh-my harnesses
| OMC | You live inside Claude Code | Team-first Claude Code orchestration |
| OMX | You want a stronger Codex CLI workflow | Codex workflow layer with reusable modes |
| OMO | You want open multi-model routing | Open multi-model agent team with aggressive routing |
| OMK | You want Kimi Code with verification | Kimi-native DAG runtime with evidence gates and graph memory |
OMK is intentionally Kimi-first. Other models can advise, review, or QA, but the run remains bounded by OMK state, safety hooks, graph memory, and evidence gates.

Safety and maturity
OMK has a stable daily-use core, with advanced surfaces explicitly labelled by maturity:
- Stable / daily-use core: init, doctor, chat, plan, mode, runs, history, index-show, cockpit, HUD, design, LSP, index, star, update, google, and project inspection surfaces.
- Advanced inspection: graph, MCP, replay, inspect, diff-runs, snip, screenshots, provider diagnostics, and design bridges are inspectable but may depend on local project assets.
- Alpha orchestration: parallel, run, verify, review, goal, sync, summary, and long-running evidence-gated flows.
- Experimental surfaces: tmux team mode, merge automation, agent registry, skill manager, research, feature/bugfix/refactor workflows, spec/DAG/cron, open-design-agent, and provider-routing integrations.
Release confidence is built from local and CI gates:
npm run verify
npm run native:build
npm run pack:dry
npm run audit:package
npm run smoke:pack
npm run release:check
The v1.1.15 release line is release-gated and evidence-gated: it hotfixes isolated HOME shell-profile bridging for bash-based MCP servers, keeps fetch on a persistent local MCP entrypoint, and preserves the current AGENTS/init templates, packaged external-inspired workflow skills, bundled MCP server entrypoints, package audit, smoke-pack checks, native safety normalization, replay/inspect/diff-runs, skill assigner, decision trace coverage, and CI release gates.

Acknowledgements
OMK is part of the broader oh-my agent harness family and is built specifically for Kimi Code users who want stronger execution state, verification, memory, and operator visibility without giving up Kimi as the primary coding authority.
