v0.8.0

evo now runs on Kimi Code. From inside a Kimi session, point evo at a repo and it discovers what to optimize, builds the evaluation, and runs structured experiments in a loop, the same flow evo already supports on Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

Install

Kimi joins the host list:

uv tool install evo-hq-cli
evo install kimi

evo install kimi drops the plugin into Kimi's plugin directory and registers it, so your next Kimi session picks up evo's skills, slash commands, and hooks. If the kimi binary isn't installed yet, get it first with curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/install.sh | bash.

What you get

• /evo:discover and /evo:optimize as slash commands, plus the full evo skill set loaded in-session.
• Parallel optimization subagents through Kimi's background Agent tool, so a round of experiments runs concurrently instead of one at a time.
• Mid-run steering with evo direct: a directive you queue reaches the running orchestrator at the end of its current turn, so you can redirect a loop without stopping it.

Verified end to end against Kimi Code 0.26.0: install, session registration, and directive delivery.
