Kiro 2.27.1

2.27.1 Oct 2, 2026 Workflow Delegation, Live Steering Context, and Saved Prompt Commands Choose how V3 delegates with Workflows, include live file and folder context in Steering, and invoke saved prompts as slash commands. Kiro CLI 2.27.0 adds control over how V3 delegates when Workflows are enabled, expands Steering with live file and folder context, and exposes saved prompts as slash commands. It also tightens access to local Kiro state and improves terminal rendering and tool reliability. Choose how chat delegates with Workflows When Workflows are enabled, the new Workflows: sub-agent tool setting is on by default, so the main chat can delegate directly to sub-agents or through Workflows. Turn it off under /settings features to limit main-chat delegation to Workflows; sub-agents remain available inside workflow steps when their agent configuration permits them. Learn more -> Include live context in Steering Whole-file #[[file:...]] references work across surfaces. CLI V3 adds one-line and line-range selectors plus #[[folder:...]] references for a one-level directory listing. In CLI V3, referenced content resolves when the Steering document loads, subject to the session's file-read policy. Learn more -> Use saved prompts as slash commands V3 exposes workspace, global, and MCP prompts as slash commands. Completion shows argument hints, and invoking a prompt resolves its file template or MCP content before sending the expanded text to the model.

Workflows are now available as an opt-in feature in Kiro Web cloud sessions. They run reusable, multi-step agent plans in the background while you continue working in the parent conversation. Start a Workflow from the conversation Describe the outcome and how much structure or review you want. Kiro proposes a Workflow, names its steps, agents, and effort, and launches it in the background. Ask Kiro to investigate a codebase for risks, deliver a feature with independent reviewers, or make a failing build green. Each step runs in its own agent session, which you open from the Workflows panel; it sees only what earlier steps hand it, and the run pauses when a step needs your input. Start with one of three bundled recipes: investigate for read-only investigation, feature-pipeline for staged feature delivery, or publish-pr for opening a pull request and handling review feedback. Learn more -> Follow and guide each step Once a Workflow is running, open Workflows from the side panel in the parent conversation and select a run to inspect its nested steps. Select a step to see its status, elapsed time, agent, model, effort, and tool activity. You can Answer this step when it pauses, Steer the agent while it runs, or Message this step's agent for other guidance. You can also pause, resume, or stop a run. After a failure, you can retry the failed steps. Summary , Files , and Artifacts also share the side panel to keep outcomes and evidence in the session. Learn more -> Turn it on and bring your recipes Open Settings > Workflows and turn on Enable workflows . Use Upload workflow for one .workflow.json , .workflow.yaml , or .workflow.yml recipe, or use Configuration Sync to import a complete .kiro/workflows/ folder. Turning Workflows off hides its surfaces and prevents new launches. Learn more -> Sep 30, 2026 1.2.4 IDE Latest Patches
