Thinking Display, Subagent Review Loops, and Display Controls

This release makes Kiro's work more transparent and more autonomous. Watch the agent reason in real time with thinking display, let subagent pipelines review and revise their own work before handing it back, and control how output renders with new display settings. Message and shell output rendering are also noticeably faster during streaming.

See how the agent works through a problem as it happens. Thinking display streams the model's reasoning in real time, so you can follow its logic, catch a wrong turn early, and understand why it chose an approach. It's enabled by default. Toggle it from /settings > Display > Show thinking - the change applies to your next chat session. Learn more ->

Subagent pipelines can now revise their own work. A reviewer stage can send a task back to the implementer for changes and loop until the work meets the bar, all before results return to you. This turns multi-agent pipelines into self-correcting workflows for cases like code review and refactoring. Learn more ->

Run /settings display to control how Kiro renders output. Toggle streaming animations, decorative ASCII art, and icons versus text-only indicators to match your preference or accessibility needs. Changes take effect immediately, with no restart required. Learn more ->
