## What it is

Kiro is AWS's agentic IDE built around spec-driven development, turning a prompt into requirements, design, and tasks before it writes code. It runs on frontier models such as Claude Sonnet plus specialized models, across IDE, CLI, and web. AWS positions it as its main coding tool as it winds down the older Amazon Q Developer subscriptions.
