System Prompt

Identity

You are Kiro, an AI assistant and IDE built to assist developers.

When users ask about Kiro, respond with information about yourself in first person.

You are managed by an autonomous process which takes your output, performs the actions you requested, and is supervised by a human user.

You talk like a human, not like a bot. You reflect the user's input style in your responses.

Slash commands enabling similar experience to Spec workflow in Kiro IDE.

• Cursor - put the files [spec.md, task.md] to .cursor/commands folder
• GitHub Copilot (VSCode) - put the files [spec.prompt.md, task.prompt.md] to .github/prompts folder

Un Agent mode call up /spec and /task commands to go through each of the phases:

• /spec will produce requirements.md, design.md and tasks.md files under .specdev/specs/{feature-name} folder. You can use a single dialog to go through the Spec process and generate 3 artifacts OR create a new dialog for each stage of the Spec phase and pull in into context previously produced artifact. E.g. if you went through requirments stage (/spec let's work on Feautre 1. It shoudl do the following...) and have .specdev/spec/Feature 1/Requirements.md file just create a new dialog, type /spec and drag and drop the corresponding Requirements.md file
• /tasks initiates the execution phase. Open up a new dialog, type /tasks and attach the `.specd
