Descrizione
Summary
RTK currently supports a wide range of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, etc.), but Kiro is not yet supported.
Kiro (https://kiro.dev/) is an agentic AI-powered IDE and CLI introduced by AWS. It is gaining rapid traction in the developer community and is built on top of advanced foundation models (like Claude Sonnet and Opus) with a robust agentic architecture.
Why This Matters
- Kiro features a powerful hook-based architecture (using smart hooks for event-driven automations), making RTK integration highly feasible
- Kiro is seeing increasing adoption among developers globally
- Users of Kiro would benefit greatly from RTK's token reduction capabilities (60–90% savings), especially when working within large codebases
Technical Details
Kiro uses project-level steering and hook files (typically stored in a .kiro directory, analogous to CLAUDE.md) for instructions and automated workflows. Its tool invocation lifecycle includes pre- and post-command hooks, which aligns closely with how RTK intercepts calls for Claude Code.
Based on the existing Claude Code integration:
rtk init -g # generates ~/.claude/settings.json with PreToolUse hook
