This update is all about keeping your workspace consistent. It matters a lot to anyone who uses Kiro on different computers or just wants a backup of their favorite settings. Instead of recreating your setup every time, the software now handles it for you.
What's new
- Cloud settings for local projects: You can upload your personal
.kirosettings (called a configuration) to the Kiro website. Now, you can turn on a feature that automatically loads those exact settings into new local sessions. - No messy local files: A "local session" is just when you run the tool on your own computer. Previously, you had to manually write all your settings into a local folder. Now, the software can pull your cloud settings without cluttering up your computer's folders.
- Syncs your custom tools: This sync includes your custom agents, Skills, Hooks, and "Steering" settings. Basically, any special rules, automated shortcuts, or AI assistants you've set up will now travel with you from the cloud to your local computer.
Fixes
- The release notes mention a few recent patches (2.20.1 and 2.20.2) that came out shortly after this main update to clean up minor issues and keep things running smoothly.
