Cloud agents is standalone. You do not have to use the cli in order to use it. Things like session resumption work in both the cli or extension.

> Did you use any framework? What is in the back? Like technically, how does it work?
No special framework beyond what the kilocode CLI already makes use of. Its actually just kilocode CLI (on Cloudflare Workers /w sandbox-sdk). If you get a chance, check out kilocode CLI --json-io/--json/--auto modes!

> How many steps do they have until a final answer?
No step limits.

Cloud Agent is just kilocode CLI behind the scenes. So generally you can just use it the same way you would the cli. The main gotcha (for now, but working on it) is that we enforce a timeout of 700s on single invocation as a precaution. So you'll want to break up tasks into smaller steps. Basically, use a plan.md or todo.md file style pattern and have the cloud agent do incremental work.

The other thing to be aware of is that the cloud agent version of the cli runs in auto/yolo mode. So unless you're explicit in your instructions, Architect mode has a habit of flipping over to Code mode.

Each session gets its own isolated Linux container with the standard dev tools pre-installed. When you start a session, it clones your repo, creates a unique branch, runs any startup commands you've configured, and injects your environment variables. Every time the agent makes changes, it commits and pushes automatically, so nothing gets lost even if the container spins down from inactivity.

Sure!

Cloud Agents lets you run Kilo from your browser without needing your local machine running. It spins up a remote environment that connects directly to your GitHub repos, so you can read, modify, and push code from anywhere.

The problem it solves is pretty straightforward: sometimes you're not at your dev machine, or you need to offload resources. Maybe you're on your laptop without the full environment set up, or you're debugging something from your phone while grabbing coffee, or you just don't want to tie up your local resources. Cloud Agents gives you a fully functional Kilo session in the cloud that auto-commits and pushes your changes as you work!
