🐱 Kitty Code

The Frontier AI Coding Companion for Visual Studio Code

By Script Kittens — Native Agentic Coding, Multi-Provider Frontier Models & Smart Session Caching

VS Code Version Discord License


Kitty Code brings autonomous, terminal-and-editor-aware AI engineering directly into Visual Studio Code.
Powered by a bundled native agent engine (kitty.exe), real-time thinking traces, 1-hour prompt cache affinity, and instant switching across Claude 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon & 3.8 Flash, xAI Grok 4.7, OpenAI Codex, and Qwen.


✨ Key Features

  • 🧠 Real-Time Native Thinking & Reasoning
    Watch models plan, reason, and self-correct inside collapsible, syntax-highlighted thought blocks before they touch your files.
  • 🤖 Full Autonomous Agent Engine (kitty.exe Bundled)
    Includes the native Kitty Code agent binary out-of-the-box—no separate CLI installation required. Reads your workspace, runs terminal commands, searches files, and applies multi-file edits autonomously.
  • ⚡ All-In-One Frontier Model Fleet
    Switch seamlessly between Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Sonnet 5.5, Gemini 4 Argon, Gemini 3.8 Flash High, Grok 4.7, GPT-6 Luna / GPT-5.6 Terra, and Qwen 3.8 Max / Coder using a single Script Kittens API key.
  • ⏱️ 1-Hour Session Affinity & Prompt Caching
    Smart KV-cache reuse preserves long-context coding sessions, reduces Time-To-First-Token (TTFT) by up to 80%, and stretches your token quota.
  • 📄 Smart Paste Interceptor
    Large code pastes ($\ge 5$ lines or $>350$ characters) automatically collapse into clean attachment chips ([📄 Pasted text (X lines) ✕]) to keep your prompt composer fast and uncluttered.
  • 🔀 Interactive Inline & Side-by-Side Diffs
    Review every proposed file edit line-by-line in VS Code and accept or reject changes with a single click.
  • 🛡️ Plan-Aware Security & Instant Key Verification
    Built-in API key authentication, live model entitlement checks, and one-click status diagnostics.
