Kiro / Kiro-CLI Support

This repository includes steering files for Kiro and Kiro-CLI to provide context-aware assistance when working with the codebase.

Steering Files

Steering files are located in:

.kiro/steering/

These files provide Kiro with information about:

  • Project structure and directory layout
  • Technology stack and dependencies
  • Code conventions and patterns
  • Testing standards
  • Deployment workflows

Using Steering

Kiro automatically reads steering files from .kiro/steering/ when working in the repository. No additional configuration is required.

Extending Steering

To add new steering guidance:

  1. Create a new .md file in .kiro/steering/
  2. Document the relevant conventions, patterns, or context
  3. Keep content concise and actionable

!!! tip "Steering Best Practices" - Focus on information that helps Kiro generate correct code - Document patterns that are specific to this repository - Avoid duplicating information already in README files

Updating Steering

Update steering files when:

  • New conventions or patterns are established
  • Technology stack changes
  • Directory structure is reorganized

Review steering files periodically to ensure they remain accurate and useful.
