Kimi is to smart for Roo Roles

[jnorthrup]

Kimi 2 is pretty cool.

this is accompanying my desire to run kimi2 free on nvidia
like this

import OpenAI from 'openai';

const openai = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: '$API_KEY_REQUIRED_IF_EXECUTING_OUTSIDE_NGC',
  baseURL: 'https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1',
})
 
async function main() {
  const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: "moonshotai/kimi-k2-instruct",
    messages: [{"role":"user","content":""}],
    temperature: 0.6,
    top_p: 0.9,
    max_tokens: 4096,
    stream: true
  })
   
  for await (const chunk of completion) {
    process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content || '')
  }
  
}

main();

but not like this

stop-gap resolution

for kimi2 we need to roll back before roles to trust it. mainly for the tools that are for the special roles.

we cannot turn off the annoying TODO tool. this is a fatal gap for kimi2 on roo current

@dosu what seems to be causing this problem between Kimi K2 and RooCode?

[dosubot[bot]]

The main issue is that RooCode’s TODO tool is architected to be always on and centrally managed—it automatically updates and controls the task list as part of its workflow, and users can’t disable or bypass it. This design is intentional to ensure consistent task tracking and progress, but it means that models like Kimi K2, which don’t expect or support this kind of tool-driven workflow, can’t integrate smoothly. There’s no documented way to turn off the TODO tool or avoid its updates, which is why it’s a “fatal gap” for Kimi K2 compatibility in the current RooCode version. More details on the TODO tool’s behavior and limitations are in the docs: update_todo_list, task-todo-list, and auto-approving-actions. There’s also no official documentation on integrating Kimi K2 specifically.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
