KimiTool Switching in Composer
Kimi composer: agent pills that rewrite the bar into Websites, Docs, Sheets, Design, and Swarm; Instant/K3/K3 Swarm; + for files plugins skills and search; slash invoke.
Empty home with Ask anything, or task an agent, Instant High, and seven agent pills.
What's happening
Kimi uses a task-dispatcher composer. Home pills rewrite the bar into job workspaces. Instant/K3/K3 Swarm and thinking effort sit on the right. Files, plugins, skills, and web search live under + and slash. Skills that need Agent mode toast instead of auto-switching.
Patterns
Outcome pills rewrite the composer; + and / open the same extensibility catalog
Instant vs K3 vs K3 Swarm with job copy and nested thinking effort
Added Plugins palette with footer jumps to Plugins and Skills
Format and size caps in a tooltip before the picker
UX Insights
- •Home pills advertise artifact jobs before the first keystroke
- •Swarm appears as both a pill and a model tier
- •Attach limits (50 files, 10MB) show on hover over Add files
- •Skills toast that Agent mode is required without switching the tier
- •Design mode adds Adaptive aspect, Resolution, and Print controls Instant chat does not have
Design Decisions
Kimi optimizes for delegated work: calm chat default, then job workspaces and a skills platform gated on Agent/K3.
