What problem does it solve?
This skill automates the creation and ongoing synchronization of the .kiro/steering project memory so teams maintain concise, pattern-oriented steering files that reflect the current codebase without overwriting user customizations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Bootstrap steering: Generate product.md, tech.md, and structure.md from templates and code analysis when steering is missing or incomplete.
- Sync and drift detection: Compare existing steering files with the codebase to surface drift, propose additive updates, and preserve user sections.
- Pattern-focused guidance: Extract and document organizational, technology, and structure patterns rather than exhaustive file lists, following explicit steering principles.
- Use Case: Initialize steering for a new repo to create a project memory, or run a sync after introducing a major API or architecture change to update guidance and flag inconsistencies.
Quick Start
Invoke the kiro-steering skill to bootstrap or sync .kiro/steering by analyzing the repository, applying templates, and proposing additive updates while preserving custom content.
