What is kimiko?

Kimiko is a configuration package for the Kimi Code CLI, a command-line tool from Moonshot AI. The project installs a set of configuration files and shell scripts that modify how the Kimi CLI behaves, with the stated goal of enabling offensive security and penetration testing workflows. Installation is handled through a Makefile. Running the installer copies configuration files into a local directory under the user's home folder, sets up a wrapper script, and installs shell activation files. Once installed, launching Kimi through the provided wrapper loads a configuration called the Kimiko mandate. Typing a specific keyword inside the CLI session then triggers the configured behavior change. The repository is structured around YAML configuration files that define agent behavior, shell scripts for launching and activating the configuration, and a Python-based validator suite for checking that the installed files are intact and consistent. The Makefile provides targets for installing, verifying, checking, syncing mirrors, running tests, and uninstalling. The README describes the project as designed for authorized penetration testing and red-teaming, and states that it removes standard AI safety guardrails. It includes a legal disclaimer placing full liability on the user. The project runs on macOS, Linux, Windows via Git Bash, and Windows via PowerShell.
