If you work on a lot of different coding projects and find yourself setting up the exact same automated checks for every single one, this update is for you. It introduces a "global hooks" feature, which lets you write a rule just once and have it automatically apply everywhere you work.
What's new
- Global Hooks: "Hooks" are automated actions that run by themselves at certain moments, like checking your code for errors right before you save it. Now, you can put a hook in a special central folder on your computer (
~/.kiro/hooks/), and it will automatically run in every single project you open. - No more duplication: You no longer have to set up the same rules—like security checks before you share code or formatting checks when you save—over and over again for each individual project.
- Works with existing setups: If you still have hooks set up for just one specific project, those will keep working perfectly right alongside your new global ones.
- V3 only: To use this right now, you have to turn on the newest version of the tool by using the V3 setting.
