Release Notes

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.

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.

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.
