Does Kiro implement code automatically?

Kiro follows a 'Phase-Gate' approach. It will only proceed to implementation after you have explicitly approved the Requirements, Design, and Task List phases, ensuring the AI never writes code without a plan.

What is the EARS format used by the Kiro skill?

EARS stands for Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax. It is a structured template (e.g., WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]) used by Kiro to create clear, testable, and unambiguous software requirements.

Can I use Kiro for existing projects?

Yes, Kiro is designed to follow existing code patterns and minimize verbose implementations, making it perfect for adding new features to established codebases while maintaining architectural consistency.

How does Kiro manage project documentation?

Kiro creates a structured directory at .kiro/specs/{feature-name}/ where it stores requirements.md, design.md, and tasks.md, ensuring all feature context remains within your repository.

Productivity & Workflow

Guides developers through a structured, interactive workflow from initial feature idea to test-driven implementation.

Kiro is a sophisticated development companion for Claude Code designed to bring architectural rigor to the coding process. By implementing a four-phase workflow—Requirements, Design, Tasks, and Execution—it ensures that features are fully conceptualized before implementation begins. It utilizes the EARS (Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax) format for unambiguous requirements and forces an approval-based cycle to prevent scope creep and technical debt. Ideal for complex features, Kiro maintains a dedicated context directory to keep project specifications organized and actionable.
