Restarts the Kiro Crew gateway cleanly from an active agent session while preserving task continuity using a durable resume monitor.

The Kiro Crew Gateway Restart skill enables an agent to safely restart its underlying gateway server without losing conversational context or triggering lifecycle lockouts. Because direct lifecycle restart commands are blocked by internal shell protection, this skill prepares an isolated attempt identity, arms a bounded same-session resume monitor, and dispatches a detached helper process across Linux, macOS, or Windows. Once the gateway restarts and the replacement instance begins serving, the resumed session verifies process identity and execution outcomes, ensuring zero unmonitored failures and seamless agent persistence.

Key Features

01Arms a bounded same-session monitor to maintain conversational continuity after restart
02Safely dispatches detached restart helpers that survive gateway process termination
034,882 GitHub stars
04Performs strict pre- and post-restart gateway PID and ready endpoint verification
05Provides multiplatform support tailored for Linux, macOS (bash), and Windows (PowerShell)
06Generates attempt-isolated status files and logs to prevent race conditions across runs

Use Cases

01Recovering from agent service degradation without abandoning the active session workflow
02Gracefully restarting the Kiro Crew agent runtime when the user requests 'restart yourself'
03Applying configuration updates or environment changes that mandate a gateway service reboot
