◎ Learning objective
Know which sources are authoritative for Kiro facts, and how to verify anything on this site against them.
Official sources (primary)
These outrank everything else, including this site:
| Source | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Kiro documentation | The authoritative reference for every feature |
| Kiro CLI documentation | Commands, flags, custom agents, headless usage |
| Official changelog | What changed and when; the referee for any disagreement |
| Official blog | Announcements and the reasoning behind features |
| Pricing | The authoritative source for current plans and limits (not covered on this site) |
| Download / main site | Installers and product overview |
| Kiro Web | The browser surface itself |
| Upgrade from Amazon Q Developer | The official Q Developer CLI → Kiro migration guide |
Community references (secondary)
Useful for alternative explanations and walkthroughs. None of their text, structure, or examples is copied here; treat their facts as snapshots of their publication date:
- DataCamp: “Kiro AI: A Guide With Practical Examples”, written in a practical walkthrough format.
- devclass: hands-on with the Kiro preview, a useful record of how Kiro launched (July 2025 snapshot).
- AWS Builder Center: Kiro articles, with community deep-dives including the GA-era CLI transition.
- AWS re:Invent 2025 session recordings on Kiro (e.g., “Spec-driven development with Kiro”), searchable on YouTube.
How this site uses sources
Facts on this site were verified against the official documentation and reliable press on each page’s “last reviewed” date. Anything that couldn’t be verified was cut or rewritten rather than stated as fact. If something still looks wrong, the contact page explains how to report it.
No text, structure, examples, or diagrams were copied from any source, official or community.
