Enhance Production Applications with AI-assisted Development in Kiro

Why it matters

AI-assisted development includes guiding code changes and automating quality checks. This exercise grounds the Kiro portion of 2.5.6 in a production application’s frontend development workflow.

What to practise

Create steering files for coding standards and context. Add frontend features through vibe coding and a Kiro power, and compare the approaches. Configure an agent hook with a fileEdited trigger for quality checks and a custom subagent with scoped tool permissions and a focused system prompt. Watch how the power-assisted feature differs from the plain vibe-coded one, and which quality checks run when a file changes.

How it fits

For GenAI application development, focus on the standards, contextual guidance, and automated checks used around assisted changes in 2.5.6. The frontend exercise provides practice with those development controls.
