Kiro CLI

Kiro CLI is AWS's terminal coding tool for specification-driven development, agent hooks, web search, and natural-language assistance.

Kiro CLI begins with a written specification and keeps it available as work advances from an idea toward production code. Developers can automate repeatable actions with agent hooks and bring external context into a task through web search.
