If you’re looking for smarter ways to automate tasks, search codebases, and manage development workflows, Kiro’s v1.23.0 update delivers. This release introduces targeted tools designed to help both developers and engineering leaders achieve more with less friction.
Smarter Task Delegation with Subagents
Subagents revolutionize how you distribute complex tasks. By delegating work to specialized agents running in isolated contexts, you can execute parts of a project in parallel while keeping your main agent focused. This setup allows for efficient multitasking and avoids bottlenecks.
- Track delegated tasks live as they progress
- Customize agent configurations for different workflows
- Manage everything easily with a dedicated subagent tool
Transform Ideas into Plans with the Plan Agent
The Plan agent bridges the gap between concept and execution. It guides you through gathering requirements, analyzing codebases, and breaking work into actionable steps,all in an interactive, read-only session. This keeps your codebase safe while ensuring clarity and structure.
- Requirements gathering: Guided prompts ensure nothing is missed
- Research & analysis: Automated code exploration with integrated tools
- Implementation plan: Tasks and demo steps clearly laid out
- Handoff: Transfer your plan seamlessly to the execution phase
Lightning-Fast File Search with Grep and Glob Tools
Navigating large projects just got easier. Kiro’s built-in grep and glob tools provide rapid content and file discovery, all while respecting .gitignore files. These tools eliminate the need for external commands and can be customized for your security needs.
- grep: Quick searches using regex patterns
- glob: Find files fast with pattern matching
Effortless Context Switching with Multi-Session Support
Juggling multiple projects? Kiro’s multi-session support lets you switch between chat sessions without losing context. An intuitive session picker,available via CLI or chat,makes it simple to resume, review, or list your sessions, each saved automatically with helpful details.
- Resume or list sessions from the command line
- Sessions auto-save every turn for robust context management
Centralized Tool Governance via MCP Registry
With the new MCP registry, organizations gain granular control over tool access. This allows for centralized management, stronger security, and consistent policy enforcement across teams, ensuring everyone works within approved boundaries.
- Control which MCP tools are available organization-wide
- Enforce security and usage policies centrally
