Feature Request: Agent Swarm Support for Kimi Code CLI

Summary

Add Agent Swarm capability to Kimi Code CLI, similar to the web UI at kimi.com/agent-swarm

Motivation

Currently, agent swarm is only available in the web UI. As a CLI-heavy user, I want to:

• Launch multiple parallel agents from terminal
• Decompose complex tasks into sub-agents
• Execute parallel workflows (up to 100 sub-agents like web UI)
• Stay in terminal workflow without switching to browser

Current State

• ✅ Web UI (kimi.com/agent-swarm): Has agent swarm (beta)
• ❌ Kimi Code CLI: Single agent only
• MCP support exists but no native swarm orchestration

Proposed Solution

# Option 1: Swarm subcommand
kimi swarm "analyze codebase" --agents 5 --parallel

# Option 2: Configuration-based
kimi --swarm-config swarm.json

# swarm.json
{
  "agents": [
    {"name": "analyzer", "prompt": "analyze code structure"},
    {"name": "tester", "prompt": "write tests"},
    {"name": "documenter", "prompt": "write docs"}
  ],
  "parallel": true,
  "max_agents": 10
}

Use Cases

1. Large codebase analysis (multiple agents scan different modules)
2. Parallel testing (agents test different components simultaneously)
3. Multi-file refactoring coordinated across agents
4. Research tasks split across agents

Additional Context

• Kimi K2.5 supports up to 100 sub-agents in web UI
• Would enable production-grade coding workflows in CLI
• Can pair with existing MCP servers for tool diversity

You can already tell kimi-cli to launch multiple subagents in your prompt and it will activate this. It's already available now.
