Codebase Aware Context Gathering And Dependency Analysis

via “codebase-aware context window management”

Kilo is the all-in-one agentic engineering platform. Build, ship, and iterate faster with the most popular open source coding agent. #1 coding agent on OpenRouter. 1.5M+ Kilo Coders. 25T+ tokens processed

Unique: Uses project metadata (package.json, imports, git history) combined with semantic search to intelligently select context, rather than naive token counting or recency-based selection. Maintains type definitions and imports even when full files are truncated.

vs others: More sophisticated than Copilot's context selection (which relies on editor proximity) and more practical than RAG systems that require external vector databases.
