KaKeKiKoKu Studio 1.16.0: a new name and a clearer workspace

A new identity, a more readable interface, and a more direct way to talk to your AI about the knowledge in front of you.

Hello, everyone.

After a short break in August, I am back with a fresh batch of improvements to our favourite context system. Version 1.16.0 brings together a clearer interface, more reliable everyday behaviour and a more direct way to work with your AI, alongside a new name and visual identity.

1. Wuniq is now KaKeKiKoKu Studio

The website is now kakekikoku.com, and support is available at support@kakekikoku.com. It is the same project with a new identity. The file format and existing configurations are preserved.

2. A clearer, more readable interface

I have reviewed the application’s visual presentation to make it easier to read and its controls more consistent. Menu options now also include icons that make them easier to recognise.

3. More reliable everyday use

This version fixes edge cases and unusual combinations of actions that could cause errors or inconsistent behaviour. Much of this work is quiet, but it helps the application behave more predictably.

4. More complete document reading

Text extraction from Word, OpenDocument and PDF documents now recovers content that could previously be left out of the reading.

5. Small performance improvements

A number of optimisations make working with large projects a little lighter.

6. More useful searches

Alongside improvements to search itself, matches are now highlighted when you view context in the central panel, making it easier to find the passage you were looking for.

7. Better Markdown presentation

Links, lists and numbering render more consistently inside sections and subsections.

8. Updated dependencies

The .NET and MCP SDK dependencies have been updated to keep integration with AI clients and development environments up to date.

9. Mode selection lives in Settings

The Automatic/Precise selector has been removed from the status bar to simplify the interface. Both modes remain available under Settings → Application; Automatic mode still depends on the connected client’s support for Channels.

10. Your AI can query which resource you are viewing

The AI can now identify the resource open in KaKeKiKoKu Studio’s central panel. You can refer to “this resource” and let the AI query which one you mean, without copying and pasting its path.

11. Reserved sections can become ordinary subsections

You can now move a reserved section inside another section as an ordinary subsection. Only the leading underscore is removed from its name: _rules, for example, becomes rules. Its content is preserved, and it no longer has a reserved role. If it has subsections, they move alongside it as subsections of the receiving section.

12. Integrate a block into another section’s text

Sometimes a section or subsection belongs in another section’s text. You can now drag the block onto that text area instead of copying and pasting by hand. Its text is added at the end, with its original name as a heading, and the source stops being an independent block. Any subsections become subsections of the receiver, keeping their content.

Both transformations work only within the central panel and ask for confirmation before making changes, including an explanation of what happens to subsections. Relationships travel with the content, and references follow the new destination. The required description remains protected. The editor manual explains how the text-area target differs from an ordinary insertion line.

There are more changes behind this release, but these are the ones you are most likely to notice while using it. Thank you for continuing to follow the project.
