What is Kiro?
Kiro is an AI-powered IDE developed by 
Amazon Web Services to help developers build and ship production-ready software from prompt to deployment. Based on VS Code, it combines intuitive "vibe coding" with structured, spec-driven development.
Key features include:
- Spec-driven workflows: Turn natural language prompts into structured requirements, designs, and implementation plans with tests.
- Agent Hooks: Automate repetitive tasks via customizable AI triggers tied to code events like saves or commits.
- AI chat and steering: Interact with integrated LLMs for assistance, guided by project steering files that control context and behavior.
- Transparent AI output: Review and approve readable diffs, agent actions, and code changes with full traceability.
- Compatibility: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports VS Code extensions and settings.
Kiro bridges fast prototyping and long-term maintainability, offering a disciplined, AI-assisted coding experience.
