Kiro's core development methodology isSpec-driven development (SDD)This is the fundamental difference between it and traditional programming tools. While traditional tools such as VS Code or IDEA mainly provide a code editing environment, Kiro structures the development process through AI technology, enabling intelligent support throughout the process from requirements to production.
The specific differences are reflected at three levels:
- Demand conversionAutomatically transforms fuzzy natural language descriptions into structured requirements.md, design.md and tasks.md.
- development modelUnlike Copilot, which only does code completion, Kiro performs complex tasks across files, including automatically generating test cases, writing technical documentation, and performing security checks.
- context management (computing)Analyze specification documents and codebase to understand the development intent and avoid the uncertainty caused by "sense programming".
The advantage of this approach is that it integrates software engineering best practices into the AI development process, ensuring that projects have a clear blueprint from the start and significantly reducing the probability of rework.
