Kiro

Works with the CLI alone. No gander.md account.

Kiro is a spec-driven AI coding tool. It brings structure to agent work by starting from specs rather than a blank prompt.

Kiro loads skills from ~/.kiro/skills and .kiro/skills. The default agent picks those dests up with no extra config. A custom agent must opt in with a resource like "resources": ["skill://.kiro/skills/**/SKILL.md"]. gander skill does not write the Kiro dest, so add a symlink.

1. Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://release.gander.md/install.sh | bash
gander --version

After Homebrew or a source build, run gander skill.

mkdir -p ~/.kiro/skills
ln -sfn ~/.gander/skill ~/.kiro/skills/gander
ls -l ~/.kiro/skills/gander/SKILL.md

Project dest if you want it in the repo:

mkdir -p .kiro/skills
ln -sfn ~/.gander/skill .kiro/skills/gander

Restart Kiro. Invoke with /gander if slash commands are on, or ask Kiro to gander a markdown file.

3. Sign up and add MCP

gander signup --email [email protected]

Add a stdio MCP server named gander, command gander, args mcp, in Kiro's MCP settings.

4. Use it

  1. Ask Kiro for a plan as markdown, then gander this file.
  2. gander watch plan.md after signup.
  3. Send the hosted URL.
  4. @agent comments come through MCP. Kiro edits the local file.

Fallback: gander comments.

5. Verify

gander list
gander comments
ls ~/.kiro/skills/gander
