Kiro Workflow
Manages a structured, spec-driven development workflow from requirements gathering to implementation.
The source repository doesn't declare a license. Check its terms before reusing the code.
Key features
- Integrates with command-line tools to create and list development specs.
- Enforces a phased workflow with mandatory user approval at each stage.
- Uses a central control board (claude.md) to track spec status, decisions, and risks.
- Breaks down high-level design documents into granular, trackable implementation tasks.
- Manages a complete spec-driven development lifecycle (requirements, design, tasks, implementation).
Use cases
- Ensuring alignment between stakeholders and developers before writing implementation code.
- Scoping a new feature by systematically defining requirements, creating a design, and planning tasks.
- Managing complex projects that require a clear and auditable trail from user stories to code.
FAQ
What is the Kiro Workflow skill?
Kiro Workflow is a Claude Code Skill that manages a structured, spec-driven development process. It guides Claude through distinct phases—requirements, design, task planning, and implementation—using dedicated spec files and requiring user approval at each stage.
How does this skill improve my development workflow?
It introduces discipline and prevents ambiguity by enforcing a step-by-step process. Mandatory approvals ensure you're in control, while the central control board (claude.md) provides a clear overview of status, decisions, and risks, reducing rework and miscommunication.
What are the core capabilities of the Kiro Workflow skill?
It manages a full development lifecycle, breaks down high-level designs into granular tasks, uses a central 'claude.md' file to track all progress and decisions, and enforces a strict, phased workflow where you must approve requirements, design, and tasks before implementation begins.
When should I use this skill?
Use the Kiro Workflow skill for complex software projects that require clear documentation, formal sign-offs, and a methodical approach. It's ideal for ensuring the final code perfectly aligns with pre-defined specifications.
