Kiro

I use Kiro and kiro-cli for work, and I got really used to it. Its actually really impressive, and I ended up getting it for my personal devices too.

Its code-oss with a really well done skin. The model routing in the auto model has been consistent since their updates late 2025.

I'd love to replace my code-server with it entirely. My work kiro is fairly limited with internal permissions and what is can connect to. Since getting it on a personal environment, it makes MCP easy. I'm working on making kiro-cli just basically openclaw.

I need to get Kiro to make a PWA or phone app for me to interact with Kiro CLI. And I want my phone, Kiro, and my server, Kiro, to be able to share workspace and context. I would rather have the two separate Kiro instances with the same context and workspace or similar workspaces than one Kiro. So I'm not always having to route through the server. It seems like it would be faster if it was local on the phone as well. But hopefully just a hero on all my devices, very similar workspace, very similar workflow and any hero I talk to can work and manage most any file in all of my directories. So that's in from any device, including phone with voice. So that from any device I can interact with any of my files across any of the devices and be able to change and modify anything.

Kiro is an AI assistant and IDE built to help developers write code, manage projects, and navigate codebases. It combines the capabilities of a code editor with an AI agent that can read files, execute commands, and make changes autonomously or with supervision.

Unlike traditional IDEs that require you to navigate menus and learn keyboard shortcuts, Kiro responds to natural language. You describe what you want, and it figures out how to do it. The AI can read your entire codebase, understand context, and make informed suggestions or changes.

The tool operates in two modes: autopilot (makes changes autonomously) and supervised (shows you changes before applying them). This flexibility lets you choose how much control you want to maintain while still benefiting from AI assistance.

What makes Kiro interesting is its approach to context. It can see your file structure, read documentation, search codebases, and understand relationships between files. This makes it particularly useful for navigating unfamiliar projects or making changes that span multiple files.

The system is built on the Model Context Protocol, allowing it to integrate with various tools and services. It's not just a chat interface to an AI model, it's a complete development environment that happens to be AI-native.

For this digital garden, Kiro helped organize notes, sanitize content for public viewing, and structure the migration from private vault to published site. It's a tool that augments rather than replaces human judgment.

This whole note was generated by Kiro, and is true. I had a lot of sensitive data in a lot of these notes, but decided I wanted to make more public-facing content in my write-ups. All my server-specific write-ups are now made internally, then sanitized and scrubbed to post and share. Kiro did all of it with just a simple prompt.
