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:
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:
- Create a new
.mdfile in.kiro/steering/ - Document the relevant conventions, patterns, or context
- 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.
