Woah Amazon’s new Kiro IDE is absolutely huge.
哇，亚马逊的新 Kiro IDE 真是庞大。
And if you think this is just another Cursor or Copilot competitor then you are dead wrong on the spot…
如果您认为这只是 Cursor 或 Copilot 的另一个竞争对手，那么您就大错特错了……
This is a revolutionary approach to how AI coding assistants are supposed to be… This is real software development.
这是对人工智能编码助手的一种革命性方法......这是真正的软件开发 。
Development based on real GOALS — not just randomly prompting an agent here and there.
基于真实目标的开发 — — 而不是随机地在这里或那里提示代理。
No more blind stateless changes — everything is grounded on real specs, requirements, and goals 👇
不再有盲目的无状态变化——一切都基于真实的规格、需求和目标👇
Amazon Kiro understands that you’re not just coding for coding sake — you have actual targets in mind.
Amazon Kiro 知道您不只是为了编码而编码——您心中还有实际目标。
Targets it can even define for you — in an incredibly detailed and comprehensive way:
它甚至可以以极其详细和全面的方式为您定义目标：
看 — — 它甚至可以根据你的要求为你制作出令人难以置信的精致设计👇
I told you — this is REAL software development.
我告诉过你——这是真正的软件开发。
This is just one of the incredibly innovative Kiro features that no other IDE has.
这只是 Kiro 极具创新性的功能之一，其他 IDE 均不具备该功能。
And guess what — It’s based on VS Code — switching is so ridiculously easy — you can even keep your VS Code settings and most extensions.
猜猜看——它基于 VS Code——切换非常简单——你甚至可以保留你的 VS Code 设置和大多数扩展。
Goal-first thinking, agentic automation, and deep integration with tools developers already use.
目标优先思考 、 代理自动化以及与开发人员已经使用的工具的深度集成 。
Two big ideas 两个伟大的想法
Kiro is based on two big ideas it implements in an unprecedented way:
Kiro 基于两个伟大的理念，并以前所未有的方式实现：
Spec-driven development 规范驱动开发
This is very similar to what Windsurf tried to do with their recent Markdown planning mode update:
这与 Windsurf 最近尝试通过 Markdown 计划模式更新所做的事情非常相似：
你不是从代码开始，而是从意图开始——用自然语言或图表来写。
These specs live alongside your codebase, guiding it as the project evolves. Kiro continuously uses them to generate and align features, update documentation, track architectural intent, and catch inconsistencies.
这些规范与您的代码库共存，并在项目发展过程中为其提供指导。Kiro 会持续使用它们来生成和调整功能、更新文档、跟踪架构意图以及捕获不一致之处。
Background hooks 背景钩子
This one is absolutely insane — how come no one ever thought of this until now?
这绝对是疯狂的——为什么到现在还没有人想到这一点？
Hooks — automated agents that run in the background. As you code, they quietly:
Hooks —— 在后台运行的自动化代理。当你编写代码时，它们会悄悄地：
-
Generate and update docs 生成和更新文档 -
Write and maintain tests 编写和维护测试 -
Flag technical debt 标记技术债务 -
Improve structure and naming
改进结构和命名 -
Ensure the implementation matches your specs
确保实施符合您的规格
This isn’t just a chat window on the side. This is an always-on assistant that sees the entire project and works with you on every save.
这不仅仅是一个侧边的聊天窗口。这是一个始终在线的助手，可以查看整个项目，并在每次保存时与您协作。
Under the hood 引擎盖下
Code OSS Core 代码 OSS 核心
Kiro is built on Code OSS — the same open-source engine behind VS Code. Your extensions, keybindings, and theme carry over seamlessly. Zero learning curve.
Kiro 基于 Code OSS 构建——与 VS Code 相同的开源引擎。您的扩展程序、按键绑定和主题均可无缝迁移。零学习成本。
MCP Integration MCP 集成
It supports the Model Context Protocol, allowing Kiro to call external agents and tools through a shared memory layer. This sets it up for a future of multi-agent collaboration that’s already taking shape.
它支持模型上下文协议 (MCP) ，允许 Kiro 通过共享内存层调用外部代理和工具。这为未来正在形成的多代理协作奠定了基础。
Model Support 模型支持
Kiro runs on Claude Sonnet 4.0 by default, with fallback to Claude 3.7. Support for other models, like Gemini, is on the roadmap — and the architecture is designed to be model-flexible.
Kiro 默认运行于 Claude Sonnet 4.0，并支持回退至 Claude 3.7。Gemini 等其他模型的支持正在规划中，其架构设计也注重模型灵活性。
Massive demand already 需求量巨大
Kiro is in free preview right now — but massive demand has already forced AWS to cap usage and implement a waitlist.
Kiro 目前处于免费预览阶段 - 但巨大的需求已经迫使 AWS 限制使用量并实施候补名单。
A full pricing structure is on the way — something like:
完整的定价结构即将出台——类似于：
-
Free: 50 interactions/month
免费：每月 50 次互动 -
Pro: $19/month for 1,000 interactions
专业版：每月 19 美元，可进行 1,000 次互动 -
Pro+: $39/month for 3,000 interactions
Pro+：每月 39 美元，可进行 3,000 次互动
Signups are open, but usage is currently restricted to early testers.
注册已开放，但使用目前仅限于早期测试人员。
Better 更好的
If you’ve used Cursor or Windsurf, you already know how powerful it is to have agentic workflows built directly into your IDE.
如果您使用过 Cursor 或 Windsurf，您就已经知道将代理工作流直接构建到您的 IDE 中是多么强大。
Kiro builds on that foundation — but shifts from reactive prompting to proactive structure. It doesn’t just assist your coding. It tries to own the meta-work: the tests you skip, the docs you forget, the loose ends that add up over time.
Kiro 建立在此基础上，但从被动提示转变为主动构建。它不仅仅是辅助你的编码，它还试图掌控元工作 ：你跳过的测试、你忘记的文档，以及随着时间的推移而积累起来的零散工作。
That’s where Kiro stakes its claim — not just as a smart code editor, but as an operating system for full-stack development discipline.
这就是 Kiro 的定位——它不仅仅是一个智能代码编辑器，更是一个全栈开发学科的操作系统。
Don’t ignore this 不要忽视这一点
Kiro is still early, but it’s not experimental in spirit. It’s built with a clear vision:
Kiro 尚处于早期阶段，但它的精神并非实验性的。它基于一个清晰的愿景构建：
-
Bring AI into every layer of the software kdevelopment process
将人工智能融入软件开发流程的每一层 -
Anchor work around intent, not just implementation
围绕意图开展工作，而不仅仅是实施 -
Support fast prototyping and scalable production with equal seriousness
同样重视快速原型设计和可扩展生产
For solo builders and teams alike Kiro is most definitely worth keeping an eye on.
对于个人建造者和团队来说，Kiro 绝对值得关注。
Not just for what it does now, but for what it signals about where modern development is headed.
这不仅因为它现在所起的作用，还因为它预示着现代发展的方向。
