+The extension id is `mikesoft.vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher`.
+
+### VS Code Marketplace
+
+Search for **Kimi Code CLI Launcher** in the Extensions view, open the [Marketplace listing](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mikesoft.vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher), or run:
+
+```bash
+code --install-extension mikesoft.vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher

+
+### Open VSX
+
+Editors that use the [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/mikesoft/vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher), such as VSCodium, Cursor, and Windsurf, resolve the same extension id from their own Extensions view.
+

+npx @vscode/vsce publish --packagePath vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher-<version>.vsix
+npx ovsx publish vscode-kimi-code-cli-launcher-<version>.vsix

+Those commands need Marketplace and Open VSX publisher tokens. The tokens are never stored in this repository or in GitHub Actions secrets, so neither CI nor an automated agent can publish on the maintainer's behalf.
