Does Kiro implement the entire feature automatically?

No, Kiro follows a disciplined execution protocol. It creates a task list first and then implements tasks one at a time, stopping for user review and approval after each step to ensure accuracy.

Can Kiro handle architectural diagrams?

Yes, during the Design Phase, Kiro can generate Mermaid diagrams to visualize component relationships, data flow, and system architecture.

Where does Kiro store the generated specifications?

Kiro stores all requirements, design documents, and implementation task lists locally in your project within the .kiro/specs/{feature-name}/ directory.

What is the EARS format used in Kiro?

EARS stands for Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax. It is a structured template for writing requirements (using keywords like WHEN, IF, and WHILE) to ensure they are unambiguous and easily testable.

How do I start a new feature with Kiro?

You can trigger the skill by mentioning 'kiro' or by asking Claude to create a feature specification, requirements document, or implementation plan for a new idea.

Productivity & Workflow

Guides developers through a structured, interactive workflow from initial concept to full feature implementation using spec-driven development.

Kiro is a comprehensive Claude Code skill that implements a robust 'Spec-Driven Development' (SDD) methodology. It acts as a collaborative partner, transforming abstract ideas into concrete technical artifacts through four distinct phases: requirements gathering using the EARS syntax, architectural design with Mermaid diagrams, incremental implementation task lists, and test-driven code execution. By enforcing manual approval gates between documentation and implementation, Kiro ensures that every line of code is purposeful, minimal, and aligned with the project's architectural integrity, making it ideal for managing complex feature developments with high precision.
