Tangent Side-Conversations and Per-Tool Token Breakdown

2.16.0

This release introduces tangents: branch into side-conversations that inherit your full conversation history, explore freely, then jump back exactly where you left off. /context also gains a per-tool token breakdown so you can see what's consuming your context window.

/tangent side-conversations (v3)

Loading image...The tangent picker opened by /tangent ls, titled "Switch to a tangent" with a search filter. It shows a conversation tree: root marked as current, with branches tangent-2, tangent-1, ddb (containing ddb1), and ec2 (containing t3), each showing when it was last active. A footer lists esc to close, arrow keys to navigate, and Enter to switch.

Need to look something up mid-task without polluting your main thread? /tangent branches into a side-conversation that inherits everything discussed so far — explore freely, then jump back to exactly where you left off. Create named tangents with /tangent <name>, browse your whole conversation tree in a visual picker with /tangent ls, and jump straight back to the main conversation from any depth with /tangent root. Available in V3 mode (kiro-cli --v3). Learn more ->
