FAQPage Schema
How do I detect which Kiro specs have changed in my branch?▼

Detecting modified Kiro specs identifies which specs are affected by your branch changes. Run ./scripts/main.sh to scan your .kiro/specs directory against git diff, which outputs a sorted list of modified spec names for targeted testing.

When should I use spec detection before a pull request?▼

Spec detection before pull requests filters which specs need testing by identifying only the ones your changes affect. This reduces CI time and testing scope by running only relevant spec tests instead of the full suite.

What directory structure does spec detection require?▼

Spec detection requires a .kiro/specs directory organized into subdirectories, one per spec. The tool matches modified file paths against these subdirectories to determine which specs changed.

Can I use spec detection to filter CI test runs?▼

Yes, spec detection outputs a clean, sorted list of modified spec names that CI pipelines can consume to run only affected specs. This guides conditional testing and reduces pipeline execution time.

How does the tool handle multiple modified specs?▼

The tool scans git diff against all subdirectories in .kiro/specs, collects matches, deduplicates them, and outputs a single alphabetically sorted list of distinct modified spec names for downstream use.
