Kilo Code v7.7.9 adds plugin installation from the Marketplace and directly from git repositories, letting developers extend functionality without publishing to npm. The Agent Manager now supports pinned tabs and a Close to the Right action to manage open sessions and reviews more efficiently. Agents can now start or resume session goals themselves using the goal tool, and the background_process tool gains a monitor action to stream long-running command output in real time. Session cron scheduling enables recurring or one-shot tasks that fire between turns, and pull request linking now works reliably across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket with automatic status updates.
