  2. Configuration - New kiro IDE config block with multi-file format
  3. Setup Function - New setupKiro() function for steering file management
  4. User Interface - Added Kiro IDE to interactive installer menu

📦 Implementation Details

File 1: tools/installer/bin/bmad.js

  • Changes: 2 additions
  • Purpose: Add Kiro to CLI interface
  • Lines Changed: 52 (help text), 408 (menu option)

File 2: tools/installer/config/install.config.yaml

  • Changes: 11 additions (10 config + 1 newline)
  • Purpose: Define Kiro IDE configuration
  • Content:
    • IDE name: "Kiro IDE"
    • Rule directory: .kiro/steering/
    • Format: multi-file
    • Command suffix: .md
    • User instructions

File 3: tools/installer/lib/ide-setup.js

  • Changes: 47 additions
  • Purpose: Implement Kiro IDE setup
  • Components:
    • Case statement for 'kiro' (2 lines)
    • setupKiro() function (45 lines)

🔧 setupKiro() Function Details

async setupKiro(installDir, selectedAgent) {
  // 1. Create .kiro/steering directory
  // 2. Get all agent IDs (or specific agent if selected)
  // 3. For each agent:
  //    - Find agent file path
  //    - Read agent content
  //    - Write to .kiro/steering/{agentId}.md
  //    - Track for bmad.md
  // 4. Create bmad.md with:
  //    - Inclusion header: ---\ninclusion: always\n---\n
  //    - Introduction text
  //    - Links to all agent files
  // 5. Return true on success
}

Function Characteristics:

  • Async/await pattern
  • Error handling for missing agents
  • Console output with chalk (green checkmarks, red errors)
  • Follows existing IDE setup patterns
  • Returns boolean for success/failure
