Kiro is AWS's new IDE that uses Claude Sonnet to generate code through a spec-driven approach. Users create project specifications, and Kiro iteratively generates requirements, design documents, and task lists. The tool offers both "vibe" mode for simple projects and "spec" mode for complex applications, with test-driven development built in. However, the review reveals significant limitations including frequent API timeouts, inconsistent adherence to guidelines, verbose code generation, and syntax errors that bypass basic linting checks.
