opencode-kimi-full
An opencode plugin that adds the official Kimi For Coding OAuth provider plus the Kimi-specific request metadata that kimi-cli sends.
This plugin:
- uses the official Kimi device flow against
https://auth.kimi.comwithscope: kimi-code - talks to
https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1through@ai-sdk/openai-compatible - sends the same
User-Agent/X-Msh-*fingerprint headers askimi-cli - reuses
~/.kimi/device_idforX-Msh-Device-Id - adds
prompt_cache_key,thinking, andreasoning_effortforkimi-for-codingrequests - discovers the authoritative wire model slug, API display name, and context length from
/coding/v1/models - keeps tokens in opencode's auth store while mirroring
kimi-cli's refresh / retry behavior
Kimi K2.6 is no longer exclusive to this path. The reason this plugin exists is different: it keeps opencode on the same OAuth, fingerprint, and Kimi-extension-field path as the official kimi-cli, without sharing kimi-cli's credential files.
Contributor and agent documentation lives in AGENTS.md.
Quick Start
- Install the plugin:
opencode plugin opencode-kimi-full --global - Paste the provider block from Configure into your opencode config.
- Run
opencode auth login -p kimi-for-coding-oauthand approve the device flow in your browser. - Select
kimi-for-coding-oauth/kimi-for-codingin opencode.
Requirements
opencode≥ 1.4.6- A Kimi account with an active Kimi For Coding subscription (the same plan that works with kimi-cli)
Install
opencode plugin opencode-kimi-full --global
That installs the plugin through opencode and adds it to your global config.
Or add the package name to the plugin list in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or a project-local .opencode/opencode.json:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["opencode-kimi-full"]
}
From a local checkout
Point the plugin entry at the repo root instead of the npm package name:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["/absolute/path/to/opencode-kimi-full"]
}
Configure
After the plugin is installed, paste this provider entry into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json or .opencode/opencode.json:
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"plugin": ["opencode-kimi-full"],
"provider": {
"kimi-for-coding-oauth": {
"name": "Kimi For Coding (OAuth)",
"npm": "@ai-sdk/openai-compatible",
"options": {
"baseURL": "https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1"
},
"models": {
"kimi-for-coding": {
"name": "Kimi For Coding",
"reasoning": true,
"options": {},
"variants": {
"off": { "reasoning_effort": "off" },
"auto": { "reasoning_effort": "auto" },
"low": { "reasoning_effort": "low" },
"medium": { "reasoning_effort": "medium" },
"high": { "reasoning_effort": "high" }
}
}
}
}
}
}
Use these two ids exactly as written:
- provider id
kimi-for-coding-oauth— the plugin'sauthandchat.paramshooks match on it. - model id
kimi-for-coding— a stable opencode-side alias. At login and on every token refresh the plugin queries/coding/v1/modelsand rewrites the wiremodelfield if the server reports a different slug for your account.
Note. The provider id is intentionally not
kimi-for-coding. That id is already published by models.dev and points at a static-API-key flow using a different SDK and auth shape. Using a distinct id keeps the two paths from colliding under a singleopencode auth loginentry.
Log in
opencode auth login -p kimi-for-coding-oauth
Then complete the device-flow approval in your browser.
During login the plugin:
- shows a verification URL and user code
- stores the OAuth token in opencode's auth store
- discovers the exact model slug, display name, and context length your account should send to Kimi
- prints a config hint that uses the discovered display name and leaves context backfill to runtime metadata discovery
Access tokens refresh automatically while you use the model.
Login and refresh details
- The plugin queries
/coding/v1/modelsduring login so it can discover the current wire model id and context length for your account. - The printed config hint intentionally omits
limit, because opencode requires bothlimit.contextandlimit.output, while Kimi's models endpoint only exposescontext_length. - Model discovery runs again on every token refresh, and a fresh loader instance can re-query
/coding/v1/modelson first use if it needs the current wire model id. - On a
401, the loader refreshes the access token once and retries the request once. - Refreshes are coordinated through opencode's live auth store so concurrent workspaces do not keep using an older refresh-token chain from a stale
OPENCODE_AUTH_CONTENTsnapshot.
Use
Select kimi-for-coding-oauth/kimi-for-coding in opencode.
The default variant-cycle keybind is Ctrl+T. The variants map as follows:
off→ sendsthinking: { "type": "disabled" }auto→ omits boththinkingandreasoning_effortlow/medium/high→ sendthinking: { "type": "enabled" }plus the matchingreasoning_effort
These variants only affect Kimi's reasoning request fields. They do not switch models or auth paths. In practice:
offasks the backend to disable thinkingautoleaves the decision to the serverlow/medium/highask for enabled thinking with the corresponding reasoning effort
The exact behavioral difference between low, medium, and high is controlled by Kimi's backend, so this should be read as a server hint rather than a guaranteed latency/quality ladder.
Every kimi-for-coding request also gets prompt_cache_key set to opencode's session id. That mirrors kimi-cli's cache hint so follow-up turns in the same session can reuse Kimi's prompt cache.
Why this plugin exists
This plugin exists to bring the official Kimi Code OAuth path and Kimi-specific request extensions into opencode without sharing kimi-cli's credential files.
What it changes.
- OAuth device flow with
scope: kimi-code. @ai-sdk/openai-compatiblepointed athttps://api.kimi.com/coding/v1.prompt_cache_keyset to opencode's session id, for session-scoped cache reuse.- Paired
thinking+reasoning_effortfields. - The seven
X-Msh-*headers and a kimi-cli-shapedUser-Agent. ~/.kimi/device_idshared with a locally-installed kimi-cli.- Runtime model discovery from
/coding/v1/models, including the server-reported wire slug,display_name, andcontext_length. - Tokens stored in opencode's auth store under a dedicated provider id, so the plugin and kimi-cli keep independent refresh-token chains and do not invalidate each other.
- Live auth-store rereads plus a provider-scoped refresh lock, so concurrent opencode workspaces converge on the latest refresh-token chain instead of tripping
invalid_grant. - Streaming,
reasoning_contentdeltas, and tool-call schemas are handled upstream by@ai-sdk/openai-compatible— not reimplemented here.
Request fields in detail
| Field | Wire shape | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
prompt_cache_key |
top-level body, snake_case, set to opencode's sessionID |
Opt-in, session-scoped cache key, mirroring kimi-cli. |
thinking + reasoning_effort |
thinking: { type: "enabled" | "disabled" } with sibling reasoning_effort: "low" | "medium" | "high" |
Sent together, matching kimi-cli. |
Seven X-Msh-* headers + UA |
User-Agent, X-Msh-Platform, X-Msh-Version, X-Msh-Device-Name, X-Msh-Device-Model, X-Msh-Device-Id, X-Msh-Os-Version |
Matches kimi-cli's _kimi_default_headers() at the pinned KIMI_CLI_VERSION. |
/coding/v1/models discovery |
id, display_name, context_length |
Supplies the authoritative wire model slug plus runtime model metadata. |
~/.kimi/device_id |
UUID persisted on disk, embedded in X-Msh-Device-Id |
Sends the same X-Msh-Device-Id as a locally-installed kimi-cli. |
Effort-to-field mapping used by the plugin:
| user effort | reasoning_effort |
thinking |
|---|---|---|
auto |
(omitted) | (omitted) — server picks dynamically |
off |
(omitted) | { type: "disabled" } |
low / medium / high |
same string | { type: "enabled" } |
kimi-cli does not currently surface this as a separate user-facing level selector. The plugin exposes the same wire-level controls as opencode variants so you can choose them explicitly.
Files the plugin touches
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
~/.kimi/device_id |
Stable UUID used in X-Msh-Device-Id. Shared with kimi-cli. |
opencode auth store (auth.json in opencode's XDG data dir; on Linux typically ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json) |
Token storage, managed by opencode through client.auth.*; the plugin also live-reads this entry to avoid stale workspace auth snapshots during refresh. |
No other state is persisted. Credentials are never written to ~/.kimi/credentials/; that path belongs to kimi-cli, and sharing it would cause refresh-token races between the two clients.
