Kilo Code: A 'Don't Innovate' Approach to Building the Ultimate AI Coding Assistant

Instead of innovating, Kilo Code embraces a 'fast-follow' strategy, integrating the best features from existing open-source AI coding assistants like Roo Code and Cline. By forking and merging these projects, Kilo Code quickly became a superset of both, offering a comprehensive toolset. The goal isn't to win a market war, but to build a genuinely useful tool boosting developer productivity. The open-source nature encourages community contribution and allows for rapid iteration, aiming to surpass proprietary solutions through speed and collaboration.
