About

Kiro is an AI‑powered integrated development environment that brings structure to AI‑driven coding by converting natural‑language prompts into clear requirements, system designs, and discrete implementation tasks validated by robust tests. Built from the ground up for agentic workflows, it features spec‑driven development, multimodal chat, “agent hooks” that trigger background tasks on events like file saves, and an autopilot mode that autonomously runs large scripts while keeping you in control. With smart context management, Kiro reduces repetitive prompts and helps implement complex features across large codebases. Native MCP integrations let you connect to documentation, databases, and APIs, and you can guide development with images of UI designs or architecture diagrams. Enterprise‑grade security and privacy ensure safe deployment, while support for Claude Sonnet models, Open VSX plugins, and existing VS Code settings delivers a familiar yet AI‑supercharged experience.
