Transcript Export, Terminal Titles, and Persistent Model Preferences

This release focuses on portability and getting back to work faster. Export any conversation to share or archive, label terminal windows so you know which session is where, and start a session at the reasoning level you need. Your model and effort choices now stick around on their own, so there's no extra step to make a preference the default.

Save a conversation to share with a teammate, attach to a ticket, or feed into another tool. Run /transcript save to export the full chat as markdown, plaintext, or JSON. The --plain and --json flags also switch the rendered transcript format inline, so you can read it the way you want without leaving the pager. Learn more ->

Keep track of which session is running where. Use /title to set or clear the terminal window title so each window has a meaningful label. Turn it on from /settings display → Terminal title. Learn more ->

Start a session at the reasoning depth the task calls for. The new --effort flag for kiro-cli chat sets the initial effort level (low, medium, high, xhigh, max) when you launch, so quick lookups stay fast and complex work gets the deeper reasoning it needs from the first prompt. Learn more ->

/model and /effort now remember your choices automatically. Switch models or change effort once and Kiro carries that preference into future sessions, so you no longer need to run /model set-current-as-default to make a selection stick. Learn more ->
