# Invoking Kimi CLI (via Opencode)

Delegate testing, quality assurance, and code review tasks to Opencode CLI using the Kimi K2.5 model via markdown files for input and output.

## Pattern: Markdown File Handoff

```
Claude Code                         Opencode CLI + Kimi K2.5
    |                                   |
    +-- Write TASK.md ------------------+
    |   (test/review requirements)      |
    |                                   |
    +-- Execute: opencode run -m        |
    |   opencode/kimi-k2.5-free         |
    |   "Read TASK.md..."               |
    |                                   |
    |                                   +-- Reads TASK.md
    |                                   +-- Generates tests/review
    |                                   +-- Writes OUTPUT.md
    |                                   |
    +-- Read OUTPUT.md <----------------+
    |   (tests + findings + results)    |
    v                                   v
```

| `togetherai/moonshotai/Kimi-K2-5` | Together.ai | Alternative naming convention | ✅ Available |

**Default:** `opencode/kimi-k2.5-free` for testing/QA tasks.

**Recommendation:** Use `opencode/kimi-k2.5-free` for all testing and QA tasks. Kimi K2.5 excels at:
- Identifying edge cases and boundary conditions
- Generating comprehensive test scenarios
- Analyzing code for quality issues
- Providing thorough code reviews

## Provider Selection Guide

### Choose Opencode (`opencode/kimi-k2.5-free`) when:
- ✅ You want a free tier with generous limits (2,000 req/day)
- ✅ You're already using Opencode for other tasks
- ✅ You prefer integrated billing with Opencode
- ✅ You want simpler setup (no additional API keys)

### Choose Together.ai (`togetherai/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5`) when:
- ✅ You have existing Together.ai credits or API keys
- ✅ You need different rate limits or pricing
- ✅ You prefer Together.ai's infrastructure
- ✅ You're already using Together.ai for other models

## Invocation

### Standard Pattern (Recommended)

```bash
opencode run -m opencode/kimi-k2.5-free \
  "Read TASK.md in the current directory. Follow the testing instructions. Write all results to OUTPUT.md."
```

### Alternative: Together.ai Provider

```bash
opencode run -m togetherai/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5 \
  "Read TASK.md in the current directory. Follow the testing instructions. Write all results to OUTPUT.md."
```

### Interactive Mode (if run command has issues)

```bash
# Start opencode TUI with Kimi K2.5 (Opencode)
cd /path/to/project && opencode . -m opencode/kimi-k2.5-free

# Or with Together.ai
cd /path/to/project && opencode . -m togetherai/moonshotai/Kimi-K2.5
```

### Piping Input (Most Reliable)

```bash
# Create a prompt file
echo "Generate unit tests for the Calculator class" > prompt.txt
cat prompt.txt | opencode run -m opencode/kimi-k2.5-free
```

## Core Flags Reference

| Flag | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `-m, --model` | Model to use (e.g., `opencode/kimi-k2.5-free`) |
| `-C, --continue` | Continue the last session |
| `-s, --session` | Session ID to resume |
| `--prompt` | Initial prompt to send |
| `-h, --help` | Show help |

## Comparison: When to Use Kimi vs Gemini vs Codex

| Task | Kimi K2.5 | Gemini | Codex |
|------|:---------:|:------:|:-----:|
| Test generation | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Edge case detection | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| Code coverage analysis | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| QA verification | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| Security-focused code review | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| General code review | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| Test maintenance | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Implementation | ⚠️ | ⚠️ | ✅ |
| Refactoring | ⚠️ | ⚠️ | ✅ |
| Large codebase analysis | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| Documentation review | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ |

**Legend:**
- ✅ = Excellent choice
- ⚠️ = Viable but not optimal

### Decision Guide

**Use Kimi K2.5 (via Opencode/Together.ai) when:**
- Primary goal is generating comprehensive test suites
- You need thorough edge case identification
- QA verification of existing implementations
- Security-focused code reviews
- Testing TypeScript/JavaScript/Python code
- Free tier with generous limits (2,000 req/day via Opencode)

**Use Gemini (via Gemini CLI) when:**
- Code review is the primary goal (not test generation)
- You need 1M+ token context for large codebase analysis
- Documentation review and knowledge extraction
- Security audits without test generation
- Maximum context window needed

**Use Codex (via Codex CLI) when:**
- Primary goal is implementation or refactoring
- Test generation is secondary to code changes
- Complex multi-file modifications needed
- Heavy reasoning tasks beyond testing

## Integration with Other Skills

**Works well with:**
- `dev_invoke_gemini-cli` - Cross-verify test coverage with Gemini
- `dev_invoke_codex-cli` - Implement fixes after Kimi identifies issues
- `using-git-worktrees` - Create isolated workspace for test development
- `triple-model-code-review` - Multi-model validation

**Sequence example:**
```
1. Kimi K2.5: Generate tests → Identify uncovered edge cases
2. Codex: Implement missing edge case handling
3. Kimi K2.5: Verify fixes and regenerate tests
4. Gemini: Review final implementation
```

## Tips

1. **Include full code** - Paste actual code in TASK.md, don't just reference files
2. **Specify test framework** - Tell Opencode exactly which framework to use
3. **Define coverage targets** - Set clear coverage expectations
4. **List edge cases explicitly** - Ask Kimi K2.5 to identify additional edge cases
5. **Request specific output** - Define exactly what OUTPUT.md should contain
6. **Use full model path** - Use `opencode/kimi-k2.5-free` not just `kimi-k2.5`
7. **Mock external dependencies** - Remind Opencode to mock databases, APIs, etc.
8. **Test data examples** - Provide sample inputs/outputs for clarity
9. **Try piping input** - If `run` command fails, use `cat prompt.txt | opencode run ...`
10. **Use interactive mode** - Start with `opencode . -m <model>` for complex tasks

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: "Session not found" error
**Solution:** Use interactive mode instead:
```bash
opencode . -m opencode/kimi-k2.5-free
```

### Issue: "DecimalError" with Together.ai
**Solution:** This is cosmetic - the output is still generated. Use the interactive mode or piping method.

### Issue: API key errors
**Solution:** Set the appropriate environment variable:
```bash
export TOGETHER_API_KEY=your_key_here
# or
export MOONSHOT_API_KEY=your_key_here
```

## Session Management

- Use `opencode --continue` to resume last session
- Use `opencode -s <session_id>` to resume specific session
- Sessions are stored locally by Opencode
- Session IDs appear in OUTPUT.md for reference
