Quick Start

Start the Orchestrator

kiro-cli --agent konductor

Define Your Project Spec

Type /k-spec (or /k-init), or simply type:

Note

Both /k-* and @k-* prefixes work. The / prefix is recommended for Kiro CLI v2 TUI mode.

> spec my project

Konductor will interview you to understand your project goals, then generate:

  • project.md — Project vision and scope
  • requirements.md — Detailed requirements
  • roadmap.md — High-level milestones

Advance Through the Pipeline

Use /k-next (or type next) to move through each step automatically:

> next

Or run specific steps using prompt shortcuts:

> /k-design 01
> /k-plan 01
> /k-review 01
> /k-exec
> /k-verify
> /k-ship

Check Status

> /k-status

Shows current phase, progress, and next steps.

All Prompt Shortcuts

Type /k- then press Tab to see all available commands:

Shortcut Description
/k-spec Define project requirements (alias: /k-init)
/k-design Create architecture for a phase
/k-plan Break design into execution plans
/k-review Review design and plans
/k-exec Execute the current phase
/k-verify Verify the current phase
/k-ship Ship and finalize
/k-next Advance to next step
/k-status Show project status
/k-discuss Discuss a phase (requires phase number)
/k-map Map the existing codebase

Pipeline Flow

Spec → Discover (optional) → Design → Plan → Review → Execute (per-task + two-stage review) → Verify → Ship

Each phase outputs artifacts to .konductor/ that guide the next step, preventing context rot and ensuring consistency.
