Kiro Spec-Driven Workflow

About

Kiro is a specialized Claude Code skill designed for spec-driven development, ensuring that features are thoroughly planned before implementation begins. It automates the creation of high-quality documentation including requirements in EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) format, detailed architecture designs, and actionable, test-driven implementation plans. By enforcing a phase-gate approach—moving from Requirements to Design, then to Tasks, and finally Execution—Kiro reduces technical debt, improves architectural consistency, and ensures that the final code strictly adheres to the original project goals.

Key Features

• Creation of granular, test-driven implementation task lists with dependency tracking.
• Organized file management within dedicated .kiro/specs/ directories.
• Step-by-step task execution with mandatory approval checkpoints for precision.
• 0 GitHub stars
• Interactive requirements gathering using the structured EARS syntax.
• Automated generation of design documents including architecture and data models.

Use Cases

• Standardizing documentation and requirements gathering for collaborative projects.
• Executing precise, incremental code changes using a test-driven development (TDD) approach.
• Planning and implementing complex new features that require architectural oversight.
