How do I trigger the Kiro skill?

You can activate Kiro by simply typing 'kiro' or by making reference to the '.kiro/specs/' directory in your conversation with Claude.

What is the EARS format used in Kiro?

EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) is a structured template for writing requirements (e.g., 'WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]') to ensure they are clear, testable, and unambiguous.

Can Kiro handle existing codebases?

Yes, Kiro is designed to follow existing patterns and write the absolute minimal code needed to fulfill the specific requirements of a new feature within your current project.

Does Kiro implement features automatically?

No, Kiro follows a disciplined workflow. It first creates requirements and design documents for your approval, then generates a task list, and finally implements code one task at a time.

Where does Kiro store my project specifications?

All generated documentation, including requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md, is stored locally in your project under the '.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/' directory.

Productivity & Workflow

Guides developers through an interactive, spec-driven workflow from initial idea to incremental implementation.

Kiro is a specialized development companion designed to bring structure and discipline to the software creation process within Claude Code. By enforcing a rigorous Spec-Driven Development (SDD) cycle, Kiro helps users transform vague ideas into precise requirements using the EARS format, detailed architectural designs, and actionable, test-driven task lists. It emphasizes a 'minimal code' philosophy and ensures that every implementation step is grounded in approved specifications, making it an essential tool for managing complex features and reducing technical debt.
