Kiro is an AI-powered Integrated Development Environment (IDE) engineered to facilitate the transition from prototype to production. It emphasizes spec-driven development, enabling users to define clear requirements, system designs, and tasks before coding.
Key features include:
- Spec-Driven Development: Transforms prompts into structured designs and implementation tasks.
- Agent Hooks: Automates tasks via AI agents triggered by events like file saves.
- Multimodal Chat: Supports interaction with agents using various input types.
- MCP Integration: Connects to external data sources like documentation, databases, and APIs.
- VS Code Compatibility: Supports Open VSX plugins, themes, and settings.
- Autopilot Mode: Allows autonomous execution of large tasks.
- Steering Files: Configures agent behavior with project-specific context and standards.
Kiro targets software engineers, data scientists, and developers aiming to enhance productivity and code quality through AI-assisted development.
