Kiro
What it is
Kiro (from AWS) bets that agents need structure: describe a feature and it drafts requirements, technical design, and a task breakdown you approve before implementation — plus hooks that trigger agents on file saves for tests and docs. Spec-driven development makes AI output reviewable and maintainable, aimed at production teams over prototypers.
