Instead of iterating on generated code, developers first iterate on structured specification documents (requirements, design, task list) before any code is produced. The demo shows building a marketplace review feature on an existing Spring Boot + React codebase, using Kiro's agent steering documents, Figma integration via Kiro Powers, MCP servers, agent hooks for compliance checks, and parallel sub-agents for backend task execution. Kiro is a VS Code fork available as an IDE, web experience, autonomous cloud agent, and CLI (integrable with JetBrains via ACP). The approach aims to produce production-ready code aligned with enterprise architecture and design systems. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
