Rewind

The /rewind command lets you go back to any previous turn in your conversation and branch off in a new direction. Instead of starting over or manually undoing changes, you fork the session at the point where things diverged from what you wanted.

When you run /rewind, Kiro creates a new session that starts from the turn you select. The original session stays intact, so you can always switch back to it.

# Open interactive turn picker
/rewind

# Jump directly to turn 4
/rewind 4

The interactive picker displays:

• A preview of your prompt at each turn
• The context window usage percentage at that point
• Turns listed newest-first for quick access to recent history

1. You're mid-conversation and realize the agent went down the wrong path a few turns ago
2. Run /rewind and select the turn where things were still on track
3. Kiro creates a new session from that point
4. Send a different prompt to guide the conversation in a better direction
5. To return to the original session, use /chat resume — the original is never modified

• Backtracking — the agent made a wrong assumption three turns ago and everything since built on it
• Exploring alternatives — you want to try a different approach to the same problem without losing your first attempt
• Recovering from context pollution — too much irrelevant context accumulated and you want a cleaner starting point
• A/B testing prompts — fork at the same turn with different instructions to compare results

• Session management — saving, loading, and resuming sessions
• Slash commands reference — quick command reference
