Kiro CLI and q chat compatibility

AgentPeek recognizes kiro-cli plus the context-proven compatibility command q chat. Start a Kiro conversation and the monitored session stays labeled by project in the notch, with its conversation, model, session tokens, process state, and terminal close at hand.

Hooks belong to selected custom agents

Kiro hooks are fields inside a selected custom-agent JSON file under ~/.kiro/agents or a project's .kiro/agents. They are not a global built-in-agent hook surface. AgentPeek has no custom-agent selector, so it does not install or mutate those files; Kiro monitoring instead uses process state and local session stores. Those external hooks also expose no native permission-request response channel, so approvals stay in Kiro, with Open Terminal available on the monitored session.

Direct Chat through native Kiro ACP

The session composer launches kiro-cli acp to load a session, send a follow-up prompt, stream its reply, and cancel a turn in flight. The ACP client also carries Kiro's native permission exchange plus session mode and model controls while it owns that Direct Chat session.

Local folders in Quick Routes

Quick Routes opens Kiro's skills, agents, prompts, steering, CLI and MCP settings, sessions under ~/.kiro/sessions/cli, and ~/.kiro root.

Questions

Yes. AgentPeek recognizes kiro-cli and the context-proven q chat compatibility command, then keeps the local session and terminal visible from the Mac notch.
No. Kiro hooks live inside selected custom-agent JSON files under ~/.kiro/agents or .kiro/agents. AgentPeek has no custom-agent selector and does not install or mutate those files; it monitors Kiro through process state and local session stores.
Not through custom-agent hooks. They expose no native permission-request response channel AgentPeek should drive, so approvals stay in Kiro and Open Terminal remains available on the monitored session. Kiro Direct Chat is different because ACP carries its native permission exchange.
Yes. Kiro Direct Chat launches kiro-cli acp for session loading, prompt streaming, native ACP permissions, mode and model controls, and cancellation.
Custom agents live under ~/.kiro/agents or a project .kiro/agents directory. AgentPeek Quick Routes exposes Kiro skills, prompts, steering, CLI and MCP settings, ~/.kiro/sessions/cli, and the ~/.kiro root.

Kiro is a product of its respective owner. AgentPeek is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
