Key verified points:

• kimi --print runs Kimi Code CLI non-interactively and exits after executing instructions.
• Non-interactive input can be supplied with -p / --prompt, -c / --command, or stdin.
• --quiet is shorthand for --print --output-format text --final-message-only.
• --input-format=stream-json and --output-format=stream-json use JSONL message streams.
• Print mode returns exit code 0 for success, 1 for non-retryable failures, and 75 for retryable transient failures.
• --skills-dir PATH can expose additional skills; Kimi also discovers user and project skills.
• In local kimi --help for version 1.44.0, --skills-dir is described as repeatable custom skills directories that override default discovery, so include every needed skill directory when using it.
• Kimi prompting guidance emphasizes clear instructions, role assignment, delimiters, explicit steps, examples, target length, reference text, and decomposing complex tasks.
• Kimi Websites documentation emphasizes goal, audience, design style, visual inputs such as screenshots or mockups, and multi-round revision for website generation.
