Does Kiro write code immediately?

No. Kiro follows a 'plan-first' philosophy. It requires explicit approval on requirements and design documents before generating tasks or implementing any code.

What is the EARS format used in Kiro?

EARS stands for Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax. It provides a structured way to write requirements using specific patterns like 'WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]' to ensure clarity and testability.

Where are the Kiro specification files stored?

Kiro automatically creates and manages files in a specialized directory located at `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/` within your project root.

How do I trigger the Kiro workflow?

You can activate the skill by mentioning 'kiro', asking to create a feature spec, or referencing the `.kiro/specs/` directory in your conversation with Claude Code.

Transforms abstract ideas into structured requirements, architectural designs, and test-driven implementation plans using a disciplined spec-first approach.

소개

Kiro is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to bring professional structure to the software development lifecycle. It guides developers through a four-phase interactive workflow: gathering requirements using the EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) framework, drafting comprehensive design documents with Mermaid diagrams, generating granular task lists, and executing implementation steps incrementally. By enforcing clear approval gates between planning and coding, Kiro ensures that features are built with precision, minimal code bloat, and consistent alignment with the original project vision.
