Introspect Subagent and Global Hooks

2.13.0

This release brings two new capabilities to CLI 3.0 (early access) a built-in subagent for learning Kiro's features and global hooks that apply across all workspaces alongside error handling fixes for all users.

Introspect Subagent (v3)

Ask questions about Kiro's features and get accurate answers in-line. The new introspect subagent can explain capabilities, walk you through writing custom agents, hooks, and steering files, and suggest the right configuration for your workflow. Available in V3 (kiro-cli --v3).

Global Hooks (v3)

Define hooks once and have them apply everywhere. Hooks placed in ~/.kiro/hooks/ now fire in every workspace automatically, so cross-cutting behaviors like linting on save, security checks before commits, or custom approval gates no longer need to be duplicated per project. Workspace-level hooks continue to work alongside global ones. Available in V3 (kiro-cli --v3).
