Kiro unifies its IDE, terminal, mobile and web agents behind one harness
max_paperclips · x · 2026-08-04
- Kiro says it rebuilt its agent architecture around a single harness that works across the IDE, terminal, mobile, web, and Slack.
- The original setup used separate agents for each client, with different session formats, tools, and configuration models, which made it hard to move a session from one surface to another.
- The new approach aims for a continuous developer workflow: start in the web app, continue in the IDE or CLI, and keep the same session alive across devices and environments.
- The post is a technical deep dive into the consolidation process and the architecture choices behind the new protocol-based design.
