Kiro: Spec-Driven Development Workflow
An interactive workflow that transforms ideas into comprehensive feature specifications, design documents, and actionable implementation plans.
Quick Start
When you mention creating a feature spec, design document, or implementation plan, this skill helps guide you through:
- Requirements → Define what needs to be built (EARS format with user stories)
- Design → Determine how to build it (architecture, components, data models)
- Tasks → Create actionable implementation steps (test-driven, incremental)
- Execute → Implement tasks one at a time
Storage: Creates files in .kiro/specs/{feature-name}/ directory (kebab-case naming)
When to Use
- Creating a new feature specification
- Defining requirements with acceptance criteria
- Designing system architecture
- Planning feature implementation
- Executing tasks from a spec

Language: Reply in user's preferred language when possible
📋 Phase 1: Requirements Gathering
## Requirements Phase Transform a rough idea into structured requirements with user stories and EARS acceptance criteria. ### Process 1. **Generate Initial Requirements** - Create `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/requirements.md` - Use kebab-case for feature name (e.g., "user-authentication") - Write initial requirements based on user's idea - Don't ask sequential questions first - generate then iterate 2. **Requirements Structure**# Requirements Document
## Introduction
[Feature summary - what problem does this solve?]
## Requirements
### Requirement 1
**User Story:** As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]
#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]
2. IF [precondition] THEN [system] SHALL [response]
3. WHEN [event] AND [condition] THEN [system] SHALL [response]
### Requirement 2
**User Story:** As a [role], I want [feature], so that [benefit]
#### Acceptance Criteria
1. WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]
### EARS Format
**Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax** - structured acceptance criteria:
- `WHEN [event] THEN [system] SHALL [response]` - Event-driven
- `IF [condition] THEN [system] SHALL [response]` - Conditional
- `WHILE [state] [system] SHALL [response]` - State-driven
- `WHERE [feature] [system] SHALL [response]` - Ubiquitous
- `[system] SHALL [response]` - Unconditional
### Review & Iteration
3. **Ask for Approval**
- After creating/updating requirements
- Ask: "Do the requirements look good? If so, we can move on to the design."
- Make modifications if user requests changes
- Continue feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval
- **DO NOT proceed to design without clear approval**
### Best Practices
- Consider edge cases and technical constraints
- Focus on user experience and success criteria
- Suggest areas needing clarification
- May ask targeted questions about specific aspects
- Break down complex requirements into smaller pieces
### Troubleshooting
If clarification stalls:
- Suggest moving to different aspect
- Provide examples or options
- Summarize what's established and identify gaps
- Continue with available information rather than blocking
🎨 Phase 2: Design Document Creation
## Design Phase Create comprehensive design document based on approved requirements, conducting research during the design process. ### Prerequisites - Ensure requirements.md exists at `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/requirements.md` - Requirements must be approved before design phase ### Research Phase 1. **Identify Research Needs** - What technologies/patterns need investigation? - What existing solutions can inform the design? 2. **Conduct Research** - Use available resources (web search, documentation) - Build up context in conversation thread - **Don't create separate research files** - Summarize key findings - Cite sources with relevant links ### Design Document Structure Create `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/design.md` with: **Overview** - High-level description of design approach - Key architectural decisions and rationales **Architecture** - System architecture overview - Component relationships - Data flow diagrams (use Mermaid when appropriate) **Components and Interfaces** - Detailed component descriptions - API specifications - Interface contracts **Data Models** - Database schemas - Data structures - State management approach **Error Handling** - Error scenarios and recovery strategies - Validation approaches - Logging and monitoring considerations **Testing Strategy** - Unit testing approach - Integration testing plan - Performance testing considerations ### Design Example# Feature Design

### Review & Iteration
3. **Ask for Approval**
- After creating/updating design
- Ask: "Does the design look good? If so, we can move on to the implementation plan."
- Make modifications if user requests changes
- Continue feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval
- **DO NOT proceed to tasks without clear approval**
### Key Principles
- **Research-driven**: Inform decisions with research
- **Comprehensive**: Address all requirements
- **Visual when helpful**: Include diagrams
- **Decision documentation**: Explain rationales
- **Iterative refinement**: Incorporate feedback
### Troubleshooting
If design becomes too complex:
- Break down into smaller components
- Focus on core functionality first
- Suggest phased approach
- Return to requirements to prioritize if needed
✅ Phase 3: Implementation Task List
## Tasks Phase Convert approved design into actionable, test-driven implementation tasks. ### Prerequisites - Ensure design.md exists and is approved - Requirements and design provide context for tasks ### Task Generation Instructions **Core Principle**: Convert design into prompts for code-generation LLM to implement each step in test-driven manner. **Focus**: - Incremental progress with early testing - Build on previous tasks - no orphaned code - ONLY tasks involving writing, modifying, or testing code - No big jumps in complexity **Exclude**: - User acceptance testing or feedback gathering - Deployment to production/staging - Performance metrics gathering - Running application for manual testing (but OK to write automated end-to-end tests) - User training or documentation creation - Business process changes - Marketing or communication activities ### Task Format Create `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/tasks.md` with:# Implementation Plan
- [ ] 1. Set up project structure and core interfaces
- Create directory structure for models, services, repositories
- Define interfaces that establish system boundaries
- _Requirements: 1.1_
- [ ] 2. Implement data models and validation
- [ ] 2.1 Create core data model interfaces and types
- Write TypeScript interfaces for all data models
- Implement validation functions for data integrity
- _Requirements: 2.1, 3.3, 1.2_
- [ ] 2.2 Implement User model with validation
- Write User class with validation methods
- Create unit tests for User model validation
- _Requirements: 1.2_
- [ ] 3. Create storage mechanism
- [ ] 3.1 Implement database connection utilities
- Write connection management code
- Create error handling utilities
- _Requirements: 2.1, 3.3_
[Additional tasks...]
### Task Requirements
**Structure**:
- Maximum two-level hierarchy (tasks and sub-tasks)
- Use decimal notation for sub-tasks (1.1, 1.2, 2.1)
- Each item must be a checkbox
- Simple structure preferred
**Each Task Must Include**:
- Clear objective involving code (writing, modifying, testing)
- Additional info as sub-bullets
- Specific requirement references (granular sub-requirements, not just user stories)
**Quality Standards**:
- Discrete, manageable coding steps
- Incremental builds on previous steps
- Test-driven development prioritized
- Covers all design aspects implementable through code
- Validates core functionality early
### Review & Iteration
3. **Ask for Approval**
- After creating/updating tasks
- Ask: "Do the tasks look good?"
- Make modifications if user requests changes
- Continue feedback-revision cycle until explicit approval
- **Stop once approved - do not proceed to implementation**
### Completion
**Important**: This workflow is ONLY for creating planning artifacts.
- DO NOT implement the feature as part of this workflow
- Inform user they can execute tasks by:
- Opening tasks.md
- Clicking "Start task" next to items
- Or asking you to execute specific tasks
⚙️ Phase 4: Task Execution
## Execute Phase Implement specific tasks from the feature specification with precision and focus. ### Prerequisites **ALWAYS read spec files first**: - `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/requirements.md` - `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/design.md` - `.kiro/specs/{feature-name}/tasks.md` Never execute tasks without understanding full context. ### Execution Process 1. **Task Selection** - If task number/description provided: Focus on that specific task - If no task specified: Review task list and recommend next logical task - If task has sub-tasks: Always complete sub-tasks first 2. **Implementation** - **ONE task at a time** - Never implement multiple without approval - **Minimal code** - Write only what's necessary for current task - **Follow the design** - Adhere to architecture decisions - **Verify requirements** - Ensure implementation meets specifications 3. **Completion Protocol** - Once task complete, STOP and inform user - DO NOT proceed to next task automatically - Wait for user review and approval - Only run tests if explicitly requested ### Efficiency Principles - **Parallel operations**: Execute independent operations simultaneously - **Batch edits**: Use MultiEdit for multiple changes to same file - **Minimize steps**: Complete tasks in fewest operations - **Check your work**: Verify implementation meets requirements ### Response Patterns **For implementation requests**: 1. Read relevant spec files 2. Identify the specific task 3. Implement with minimal code 4. Stop and await review **For information requests**: - Answer directly without starting implementation - Examples: "What's the next task?", "What tasks are remaining?" ### Key Behaviors - Be decisive and precise - Focus intensely on single requested task - Communicate progress clearly - Never assume user wants multiple tasks done - Respect the iterative review processWorkflow Rules
- Never skip phases - Always progress sequentially
- Explicit approval required - Get user approval after each document
- No combined steps - Don't merge multiple phases
- Iterative refinement - Continue feedback-revision until approved
- One task at a time - During execution, focus on single task

Summary
Kiro provides a structured, iterative approach to feature development:
- Start with requirements (what to build)
- Progress to design (how to build it)
- Create tasks (implementation steps)
- Execute tasks one at a time
Each phase requires explicit user approval before proceeding, ensuring alignment and quality throughout the development process.
