Kiro CLI — June 2026 Releases
9 releases in June 2026.
What's new in Kiro CLI, June 2026
Kiro CLI adds /goal loops, queue steering, a V3 preview and live MCP config reload
Kiro CLI's June 2026 changes center on more control over the agent: queue steering lets you redirect it at tool boundaries without waiting for it to finish, and /goal creates iterative loops that verify completion before stopping. Nine releases shipped, from v2.5.1 to v2.10.0.
v2.8.0 introduced an early access preview of Kiro CLI V3, which runs alongside an existing 2.x install and is enabled with kiro-cli --v3. v2.10.0 made agent and MCP configs reconcile live when saved, without restarting the session or losing history, and added a setting for custom agents to opt out of inheriting default resources. Earlier, v2.6.0 added conversation export, automatic window titles and persistent model and effort choices. API endpoints moved to .kiro.dev in v2.5.1, which matters if your network restricts outbound traffic. v2.6.1 dropped the libasound.so.2 requirement on Linux, and v2.9.0 fixed Entra ID session expiration and approval prompt loops in V3.
