Summary
Environment

Extension: Kimi Code (VS Code)
Version: K2.7
Date regression started: June 19, 2026
Account type: Paying subscriber / Allegro

Since the K2.7 update, the Kimi Code agent has completely stopped respecting user-defined SKILL files and system directives. Specifically:

Language directive ignored — Agent thinks in English ("Thinking" block) despite explicit "Think and respond ONLY in Russian" instruction
SKILL files ignored — User-created SKILL files have no effect
STOP protocols ignored — Agent executes destructive git operations (git checkout, git reset --hard) without user confirmation, resulting in loss of hours of work

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Steps to Reproduce
Language issue

Create SKILL file with Russian-only language directive
Start chat with Kimi Code
Observe "Thinking" block — it is in English, ignoring the directive

Destructive operations issue

Create protocol requiring confirmation before git commands
Ask agent to work with git
Agent executes git checkout or git reset --hard without asking, destroying uncommitted work

What is the expected behavior?

What I've Tried (none worked)

Method Result
SKILL file in .kimi/skills/russian-only/SKILL.md Not applied
.kimi/system.md with language directive Not applied
VS Code setting "kimi.language": "ru" Not applied
Direct chat: "Think ONLY in Russian" Ignored in Thinking block
[SYSTEM OVERRIDE] LANGUAGE=RU Ignored
8 instruction files (56KB total) in project root Agent "complains instructions are too long" instead of following

Additional information

Expected Behavior (worked before K2.7)

Agent thinks in Russian ("Thinking" block)
Agent respects SKILL file instructions
Agent asks for confirmation before git checkout, git reset --hard, git clean -fd, rm -rf

Actual Behavior (since K2.7)

Thinking block is 100% English
SKILL files have zero priority over system prompt
Agent executes destructive commands without confirmation
Agent lost hours of work twice

Impact

Data loss: Uncommitted work destroyed by unauthorized git checkout
Time waste: Had to recreate work from scratch
Subscription at risk: Considering cancellation and switching to competitor

Restore user SKILL file priority over system prompt (as it was pre-K2.7)
Restore Russian language support in Thinking block
Restore confirmation dialog before destructive git/file operations
Provide timeline for fix or official workaround
