[RFC] The (Portable Studio) : Persistent Context & Headless Ops

[rtxgoldvip]

I'm currently away from my main workstation, trying to manage my dev workflow purely via mobile, and I realized how much friction exists when we don't have our full IDE setup. This limitation sparked an idea for an architecture that would allow Kilo to be truly portable and headless.

​I wanted to share this RFC while the pain point is fresh in my mind. The goal is to move the intelligence from the local machine to the repository itself.
​Here is the proposal:

​1. The Core Problem

​Interacting with AI agents often feels fragmented. Evry time we switch environments (IDE to CLI, Desktop to Mobile) or start a new session, we have to "re-onboard" the agent, explaining the stack, constraints, and seniority level. Context is volatile and machine-dependent.

​2. The Solution: Project DNA - (Persistent Context Layer)

​I propose a standardized configuration file (e.g., .kilo/dna.json) that travels with the repository.

​Key Features:
​Stack Definition: Explicitly defines the tech stack (e.g., Python/FastAPI + AlpineJS) so the agent never asks (what language is this?)
​Business Logic Graph: A section for high-level flow descriptions that the agent reads before attempting any code.

​3. Feature: The Architect Analyst (Gap Analysis)

​A mode designed to analyze rather than code.
​Workflow: You feed it a URL to an external Open Source repo.
​Output: It compares the external repo against your local - Project DNA - and generates an integration strategy or gap analysis.

​4. Feature: Headless -Mobile Command Center

​Enable a Server Mode where Kilo can be triggered remotely (via mobile web UI or API) to perform scheduled maintenance tasks.
​Use Case: I paste a Git URL via mobile -> Kilo spins up a (Security Auditor) agent -> I receive a PR with fixes to approve. No IDE required.

I'd be happy to help outline the JSON schema for the - Project DNA - config once I'm back at my keyboard.
