AI-powered VS Code extension for spec-based software development
Top 85.4% on SourcePulse
Kiro Agent is a VS Code extension that transforms software development into a spec-driven, AI-assisted workflow. It empowers developers to define systems using natural language, generating production-ready code with multi-provider AI support, advanced prompt engineering, and real-time collaboration.
How It Works
Kiro Agent employs a monorepo architecture with specialized packages for core AI chat, shared utilities, UI components, and integrations like AWS CodeWhisperer. It leverages a sophisticated prompt engineering system, supporting numerous LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Gemini, Ollama, Amazon Q) with model-specific prompt templates and dynamic context injection. The system uses a hierarchical prompt structure, combining base system prompts, model formatting, context, and tool-specific instructions for robust AI interaction.

Limitations & Caveats
The extension relies heavily on VS Code's experimental APIs, which may lead to instability or breaking changes. While it supports local model execution via Ollama, performance will be dependent on user hardware.
