AWS Kiro

Kiro is an AI-native Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed to bring structure to AI-assisted coding through spec-driven development. Instead of unstructured "vibe coding," you start by collaborating with Kiro on a specification. The AI then translates your prompt into clear requirements, system architecture, and discrete implementation tasks. This structured approach helps manage complexity and ensures the final code aligns with your initial vision.

Key features include:

• Agent Hooks: Automate repetitive tasks like generating documentation, writing unit tests, or optimizing code performance by delegating them to AI agents that trigger on events like a file save.
• Smart Context Management: Kiro understands the intent behind your prompts, enabling you to implement complex features on larger codebases with fewer iterations.
• Multimodal Input: Provide an image of a UI design or a photo of a whiteboard session, and Kiro can use it as a guide for implementation.
• VS Code Compatibility: Enjoy a familiar development experience within a streamlined, AI-ready environment.
