Kiro

In case you missed it, @kirodotdev now supports Claude Opus 4.6 and Claude Sonnet 4.6 with 1M context window. I'm excited to try the this for modernization of large code bases. How are you going to use it? #Kiro

Just blogged: How I've used Kiro and Sub-Agents to analyze my codebase and generate 96 comprehensive unit tests in minutes. dev.to/dhelper/using-… @kirodotdev #AWS #Kiro #TestCoverage #DevTools #UnitTesting #AIForDevelopers

@ania_kubow @svpino @ssennettau @ErikCH @rstephensme @brianjbeach @navedmer @_Jay_Raval_ @JasonTAndersen What would you build with 17 gestures and zero setup? 👉github.com/Harpita-P/Kiro… More builder spotlights dropping every week. 👀

(2/3) InteractionKit by Harpita and Harpith Pandian Solving a specific pain point, the difficulty of vibe coding complex computer vision logic without hallucinations. A starter template for building gesture-controlled apps inside Kiro. Hand tracking, face detection, head movement, all out of the box. Clone it and start building.

(1/3) Building with Kiro 👻 Every week we’re spotlighting what people are shipping, starting with our Kiroween hackathon winners. Shout-out to our incredible judges: @ania_kubow @svpino @ssennettau @ErikCH @rstephensme @brianjbeach @navedmer @_Jay_Raval_ @JasonTAndersen @mrsanfran2 @PhillShaffer First up 👇 spr.ly/6015B65DG5

Nothing like AI confidently refactoring the wrong thing and burning your codebase down... Kiro CLI’s Code Intelligence uses LSP so your AI actually understands what it’s editing, same way your IDE does. • Search and batch lookup symbols in file • AST-based pattern search • Real-time error detection • Safe, codebase-wide refactors No more oops moments. Try Kiro CLI 👉 spr.ly/6017B6bC6J

A new, refreshed UX for the Kiro CLI just launched in experimental mode. Why experimental you may ask? We're proud of what we've built, but we want to get it right, without disrupting your workflows. Your feedback will help us build an even better UX, so try it out and let us know what you love (or don’t). Install or update the Kiro CLI and enter kiro-cli —tui in the command line to try it. spr.ly/6011B6wSKd @darkosubotica

(3/3) And then there's the Bugfix Spec 🐛 What makes this different is the three section it looks at: what's broken, what the fix looks like, and, this is the important one, what must NOT change. Kiro generates property-based tests for all three. Proves the bug exists, proves the fix works, and proves nothing else broke. Thank you Kiro 😍 Surgical. I like it. If you want to read more on these new specs check out the blog here: kiro.dev/blog/specs-bug…

(2/3) That's where Design-first Specs come in 👏 Let's be real, most code isn't greenfield. You're building on top of something that already exists, and you have to work within that architecture whether you like it or not. Design-first lets you start from there, your existing stack, constraints, and system design. Kiro generates the design doc, you iterate, and then it derives requirements from your design. It meets you where your code already is (Or where your favorite Rust crate is 🦀)

(1/3) So you know there's more than one type of Spec in Kiro, right? 👀 The classic Feature Spec starts with requirements > design > tasks. You describe what you want, Kiro figures out how. Great for greenfield stuff where you're starting fresh and your options are wide open. But what if you already know the tech stack? What if you already have chosen your favorite frameworks?

Open weight models in Kiro just got wider reach. 👻 MiniMax M2.1, Qwen3 Coder Next, and DeepSeek V3.2 → now available to IdC users. Plus M2.1 and Qwen3 Coder Next → now live in AWS Europe (Frankfurt) alongside AWS US-East-1. spr.ly/6017B6T8oZ

What are developers saying about Kiro? 🤔 Amarinder Singh went from 7-week prototype cycles to something much faster with structured planning, auto-updating specs, and code that actually matches the original vision. How much time are you losing to unstructured code?

“Which MCP servers are your devs connecting to?” 🤔 That question can kill enterprise AI tool rollouts. Today we give you the answer. Kiro now lets admins allow list approved MCP servers and control which models developers can access, enforced across every IDE and CLI in your org. Get started now 👉 spr.ly/6013B6KjmX

David Yanacek is a Senior Principal Engineer and a lead advisor on the Agentic AI team at @awscloud. He joins @kbal11 to discuss @kirodotdev, Bedrock AgentCore, spec driven development, frontier agents, and the future of agentic software development. @dyanacek bit.ly/4kRGSCg

Just set up Managed Payments (Merchant of Record solution, currently in public preview) from @stripe . I wired it into an existing app using the Stripe Power in @kirodotdev . The Power read my pricing page, created the products/prices in Stripe via MCP, and set up the checkout endpoint. Went from static pricing cards to working subscription with MoR checkout pretty fast.

Ever load a large codebase into your AI and watch it slowly lose the plot? That’s your context window hitting 90%. One agent, too much to hold, confused output. Sub-agents fix this: · Database · Frontend components · Test files Each gets a clean context window. Each runs in parallel. Focused results. Try sub-agents in Kiro and see the difference yourself. 👉 spr.ly/6016htoKK

Most bug reports describe what broke, not what must stay the same. That gap is where AI agents cause regressions. They fix the reported issue and quietly break something adjacent. Kiro works with you to make three things explicit before a single line of code gets written, what's broken, what should happen instead, and what must not change. The fix stays surgical because the boundary is defined upfront. Read how it works 👉 spr.ly/6017hUD7S

Calling all designers and devs 📣 We’re going live today at 9:30 am PT with @figma to show you how the Figma power streamlines your design-to-development workflows. From mapping code components to generating architecture diagrams. Less back-and-forth. More shipping. You won't want to miss it 👉 spr.ly/6016hUO4k

In case you missed it, Specs just got a lot more flexible. Two new Spec types shipped last week. Design-first for when you already have the architecture mapped out and just need help implementing it. Bugfix for when you know what’s broken and need a surgical fix without touching anything else. Download or restart Kiro to try it now 👉 spr.ly/6010hUDjm
