Kimi Code CLI documentation: Agent Skills

Repository and purpose

Official Kimi Code documentation explains Agent Skills as Markdown/YAML task instructions and documents discovery, precedence, invocation, and setup. A second official Kimi CLI guide is available at https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/blob/main/docs/en/customization/skills.md. These are host guides, not catalogs of MoonshotAI-authored skills.

What is available

No standalone MoonshotAI skill-catalog repository was verified in this research. Do not fabricate named Kimi skills or imply the host docs are skills.

Where to find it

Documents supported discovery roots; does not publish a MoonshotAI-owned skills catalog.

Host compatibility

Kimi Code CLI-specific discovery behavior; Kimi CLI has a separate guide and differing directory precedence. Generic Agent Skills folders may be shared with other agents, but host compatibility must be checked.

Setup

Skill search roots, user/project scope, extra directories, and slash invocation depend on the Kimi CLI version/configuration. No Kimi-specific skills were installed.

Rights and boundaries

Repository and documentation license was not verified for downstream copying; link to the guide rather than reproducing it.

A skill can contain executable helper scripts or direct agent behavior. Inspect before running. Do not equate format support with provider or feature availability.
