-# Contributing to Kimi Code CLI
+# Contributing
 
-Thank you for being interested in contributing to Kimi Code CLI!
+This repository has been archived and no longer accepts issues or pull requests.
 
-We welcome all kinds of contributions, including bug fixes, features, document improvements, typo fixes, etc. To maintain a high-quality codebase and user experience, we provide the following guidelines for contributions:
+If you would like to contribute, please head over to [Kimi Code CLI](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code) and read its contributing guide ([English](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) | [中文](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.zh-CN.md)).
 
-1. We only merge pull requests that align with our roadmap. For any pull request that introduces changes larger than 100 lines of code, we highly recommend discussing with us by [raising an issue](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-cli/issues) or in an existing issue before you start working on it. Otherwise your pull request may be closed or ignored without review.
-2. We insist on high code quality. Please ensure your code is as good as, if not better than, the code written by frontier coding agents. Changes may be requested before your pull request can be merged.
-
-## Prek hooks
-
-We use [prek](https://github.com/j178/prek) to run formatting and checks via git hooks.
-
-Recommended setup:
-1. Run `make prepare` to sync dependencies and install the prek hooks.
-2. Optionally run on all files before sending a PR: `prek run --all-files`.
-
-Manual setup (if you do not want to use `make prepare`):
-1. Install prek (pick one): `uv tool install prek`, `pipx install prek`, or `pip install prek`.
-2. Install the hooks in this repo: `prek install`.
-
-After installation, the hooks run on every commit. The repo uses prek workspace mode, so only the
-projects with changed files run their hooks. You can skip them for an intermediate commit with
-`git commit --no-verify`, or run them manually with `prek run --all-files`.
-
-The hooks execute the relevant `make format-*` and `make check-*` targets, so ensure dependencies
-are installed (`make prepare` or `uv sync`).
+Thank you to everyone who contributed to Kimi CLI.

Installing Kimi Code CLI automatically migrates your configuration and sessions. This project will be gradually wound down; the docs and existing installations remain available.
+## Migrate to Kimi Code CLI
+
+1. Install Kimi Code CLI:
+
+   ```sh
+   # macOS / Linux
+   curl -fsSL https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.sh | bash
+   ```
+
+   ```powershell
+   # Windows (PowerShell)
+   irm https://code.kimi.com/kimi-code/install.ps1 | iex
+   ```
+
+   Also available via Homebrew (`brew install kimi-code`) and npm (`npm install -g @moonshot-ai/kimi-code`).
+
+2. Open a new terminal and run `kimi`. On first launch, it detects your Kimi CLI data in `~/.kimi/` and offers to migrate your config, MCP servers, input history, and sessions. You can also run `kimi migrate` at any time. Your original data in `~/.kimi/` is never modified or deleted.
+3. Run `/login` again, and re-authorize your MCP servers. Login credentials, MCP authorizations, and Kimi CLI plugins are not migrated.
+4. Uninstall the legacy CLI after migrating, e.g. `uv tool uninstall kimi-cli` or `brew uninstall kimi-cli`.
+
+See the full [migration guide](https://moonshotai.github.io/kimi-code/en/guides/migration) for details.

 ## Installation
 
-::: tip
-Kimi Code CLI is evolving into [Kimi Code](https://github.com/MoonshotAI/kimi-code). Installing Kimi Code **automatically migrates** your configuration and sessions. New users are encouraged to install Kimi Code directly; the instructions below still work, and existing users don't need to migrate immediately.
