AI DLC and Kiro

AI-DLC and Kiro

Harness integrates AWS AI-DLC steering rules with the Kiro CLI.

What gets installed

• kiro-cli binary (auto-download on harness setup if enabled)
• AI-DLC rules in .kiro/steering/ and aidlc-docs/

Commands

harness setup              # workspace + AI-DLC (extension runs on activate)
harness aidlc install      # install/update steering rules
harness aidlc status       # check installation

From VS Code: extension bootstrap calls setup --skip-kiro for workspace only; full Kiro download is optional.

Configuration

{
  "harness.connectors.kiro.apiKey": "...",
  "harness.connectors.kiro.cliPath": "kiro-cli",
  "harness.aidlc.autoInstall": true
}

Kiro agent routing

Harness builds a prompt with AI-DLC context and runs kiro-cli headless, streaming output to the chat.
