Full definition
Kiro is AWS's spec-driven AI IDE, a VS Code-based editor that puts specifications first. You write a clear spec (requirements, acceptance criteria, edge cases) and Kiro's agent implements to spec, runs tests against it, and iterates. Kiro is powered by Amazon Bedrock models (Claude, Llama, Titan). It supports the open Agent Skills standard via Bedrock AgentCore's MCP integration, connect to skills-hub.ai/mcp and the 4,900+ skill catalog becomes available.
