Kimi

Happier supports Kimi as a local CLI-backed provider.

Requirements

• Kimi CLI installed locally.
• Binary available on PATH (or set HAPPIER_KIMI_PATH).

Install Kimi

If you use hstack, you can install Kimi with the providers installer:

hstack providers install kimi
kimi --version

Or install manually (macOS / Linux):

curl -LsSf https://code.kimi.com/install.sh | bash
kimi --version

Windows (PowerShell):

Invoke-RestMethod https://code.kimi.com/install.ps1 | Invoke-Expression
kimi --version

Local authentication in Happier

Kimi supports launching its native setup/login flow from:

• Settings → AI provider settings → Kimi

Happier opens Kimi and sends /setup for you.

Auth-status detection for Kimi is currently conservative, so Happier may still show Unknown even though the login flow is available.

For the shared user guide, see Provider authentication.

Notes

• Resume availability is session-specific in Happier and depends on valid resume metadata plus the current backend/settings.
• Model, mode, and permission behavior can still vary by installed Kimi runtime.
• Tool calls are normalized to canonical Happier tool renderers.

Troubleshooting

If Kimi is not detected:

1. Verify kimi --version works.
2. Restart Happier.
3. Set HAPPIER_KIMI_PATH if needed.
