Release Notes: v0.7.0¶

Release Date: 2026-01-24

Highlights¶

This release adopts the multi-agent-spec SDK as the canonical agent model, adds Kiro power generation, a new CLI tool, and extends skills support with markdown format and Kiro steering file generation.

Breaking Changes¶

Agent Model Type Changes¶

The Agent struct is now a type alias to multiagentspec.Agent. The Model field changes from string to the dedicated Model type with predefined constants.

Before:

agent := core.NewAgent("my-agent", "Description")
agent.SetModel("sonnet")
agent.AddTool("Read")
agent.AddTools([]string{"Write", "Bash"})

After:

agent := core.NewAgent("my-agent", "Description").
    WithModel(core.ModelSonnet).
    WithTools("Read", "Write", "Bash")

Kiro Tool Name Changes¶

Kiro adapter now uses Kiro's actual tool names (execute_bash, fs_read, fs_write, etc.) instead of shortened aliases (shell, read, write).

New Features¶

Powers Package¶

The new powers package enables generation of Kiro IDE powers (plugin-like packages):

import (
    powerscore "github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/powers/core"
    "github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/powers/kiro"
)

power := powerscore.NewPower("my-power").
    WithVersion("1.0.0").
    AddKeyword("productivity").
    AddMCPServer("server", powerscore.MCPServer{
        Command: "node",
        Args:    []string{"server.js"},
    })

// Generate Kiro power directory
adapter := &kiro.Adapter{}
adapter.GeneratePowerDir(power, "./output")

AssistantKit CLI¶

New assistantkit CLI tool with cobra-based command structure:

# Install
go install github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/cmd/assistantkit@latest

# Generate platform-specific plugins from canonical spec
assistantkit generate plugins --spec=./spec --output=./plugins --platforms=claude,kiro,gemini

# Generate deployment artifacts from multi-agent-spec definitions
assistantkit generate deployment --spec=./agents --deployment=deploy.json --output=./deploy

Plugin Generation Library¶

The generate package provides programmatic plugin and deployment generation:

import "github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/generate"

// Generate plugins for all platforms
results, err := generate.Plugins("./spec", "./output", []string{"claude", "kiro", "gemini"})

// Generate deployment artifacts
results, err := generate.Deployment("./agents", "deploy.json", "./output")

Kiro Skills Adapter¶

Skills can now be generated as Kiro steering files:

import "github.com/agentplexus/assistantkit/skills/kiro"

adapter := &kiro.Adapter{}
adapter.WriteSkillDir(skill, "./output")

Markdown Skill Format¶

Skills can now be defined in markdown with YAML frontmatter, in addition to JSON:

---
name: code-review
description: Performs thorough code reviews
tools:
  - Read
  - Grep
---

# Code Review

Review the code for correctness, style, and potential issues...

GenAgents Enhancements¶

The genagents CLI now supports:

--skills / --skills-output flags for generating platform-specific steering files
--install flag to install agents and skills to ~/.kiro/
--prefix flag for namespacing installed files
