Kimchi is a terminal coding agent powered by multi-model orchestration. It is designed to help developers run AI-assisted coding sessions from the command line while coordinating specialized agents, tools, permissions, and project context. The repository includes systems for subagents, task classification, model delegation, MCP integration, web search, web fetching, Language Server Protocol support, authentication, and interactive terminal workflows. It also supports ACP-style JSON-RPC integration for editor workflows and remote session multiplexing through its teleport mode. Kimchi includes benchmarking tools for smoke testing sessions, auditing completed work, and comparing model behavior across predefined tasks. It is useful for developers who want a powerful terminal-first coding agent with structured orchestration rather than a simple chat wrapper.
