About Kiro IDE -------------- [](#about-kiro-ide) Kiro IDE is an AI-powered integrated development environment from Amazon that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI agents to interact with your Laravel project in a contextualized and efficient manner. About Laravel Boost ------------------- [](#about-laravel-boost) Laravel Boost accelerates AI-assisted development by providing the essential context and structure that AI needs to generate high-quality, framework-specific Laravel code. This package extends Boost to work seamlessly with Kiro IDE. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.2 or higher - Laravel 11.x or 12.x - [Laravel Boost](https://github.com/laravel/boost) ^2.0 - Kiro IDE installed on your system Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` composer require jcf/boost-for-kiro-ide --dev ``` The package automatically registers Kiro IDE with Laravel Boost through Laravel's auto-discovery. > **✨ Laravel Boost v2.0 Improvements** > This package is fully compatible with Laravel Boost v2.0, which brings an enhanced installation experience with improved code environment detection, streamlined configuration, and the powerful new Skills system. After installation, you'll have access to the `boost:add-skill` command to extend Kiro's capabilities with specialized AI instructions. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### 1. Install Laravel Boost (if not already installed) [](#1-install-laravel-boost-if-not-already-installed) If you don't have Laravel Boost installed yet, install it first: ``` composer require laravel/boost --dev php artisan boost:install ``` ### 2. Configure Kiro IDE [](#2-configure-kiro-ide) When running the `php artisan boost:install` command, Kiro IDE will appear as an available option. Select it to automatically configure: - **MCP Configuration**: Created at `.kiro/settings/mcp.json` - **AI Guidelines**: Created at `.kiro/steering/laravel-boost.md` ### 3. Activate in Kiro IDE [](#3-activate-in-kiro-ide) In Kiro IDE: 1. Open the command palette (`Cmd+Shift+P` or `Ctrl+Shift+P`) 2. Search for "MCP: Reconnect All Servers" and press `Enter` 3. The `laravel-boost` MCP server will be automatically detected and connected Kiro automatically loads the AI guidelines from `.kiro/steering/laravel-boost.md` to provide contextualized assistance for your Laravel application. ### 4. Extend with Skills (Optional) [](#4-extend-with-skills-optional) After installation, you can enhance Kiro's capabilities by installing Skills: ``` php artisan boost:add-skill laravel/boost-skill-livewire ``` Skills provide specialized AI instructions for specific Laravel development tasks. See the [Skills System Support](#skills-system-support) section below for more details. ### Complete Installation Flow Example [](#complete-installation-flow-example) Here's a complete example of setting up a new Laravel project with Kiro IDE and Skills: ``` # 1. Create a new Laravel project composer create-project laravel/laravel my-project cd my-project # 2. Install Laravel Boost and this package composer require laravel/boost --dev composer require jcf/boost-for-kiro-ide --dev # 3. Run the Boost installation wizard php artisan boost:install # → Select "Kiro IDE" from the list # → Configuration files are created automatically # 4. (Optional) Install Skills to extend capabilities php artisan boost:add-skill laravel/boost-skill-livewire php artisan boost:add-skill laravel/boost-skill-testing # 5. Open in Kiro IDE and reconnect MCP servers # → Cmd+Shift+P (or Ctrl+Shift+P) # → "MCP: Reconnect All Servers" # → Start developing with AI assistance! ``` Created File Structure ---------------------- [](#created-file-structure) After installation, the following files will be created in your Laravel project: ``` .kiro/ ├── settings/ │ └── mcp.json # MCP server configuration └── steering/ └── laravel-boost.md # AI guidelines for Kiro ``` You can add these files to `.gitignore` if desired, as they can be regenerated by running `php artisan boost:install` or `php artisan boost:update`. Available MCP Tools ------------------- [](#available-mcp-tools) After installation, Kiro will have access to all Laravel Boost MCP tools, including: - **Application Info**: Information about PHP, Laravel, packages, and Eloquent models - **Browser Logs**: Browser logs and errors - **Database Connections**: Database connection inspection - **Database Query**: Execute database queries - **Database Schema**: Read database schema - **Get Config**: Get configuration values - **Last Error**: Read the last error from logs - **List Artisan Commands**: List available Artisan commands - **List Routes**: List application routes - **Read Log Entries**: Read log entries - **Search Docs**: Search Laravel documentation - **Tinker**: Execute arbitrary code in the application context - And much more... Custom Guidelines Path ---------------------- [](#custom-guidelines-path) By default, Kiro's AI guidelines are stored at `.kiro/steering/laravel-boost.md`, following Kiro's native steering convention. This allows you to take advantage of Kiro-specific features like frontmatter-based inclusion rules and file references. If your team uses multiple AI-powered IDEs and prefers a shared guidelines file (e.g., `AGENTS.md`), you can customize the path via configuration: ``` // config/boost.php 'agents' => [ 'kiro' => [ 'guidelines_path' => 'AGENTS.md', ], ], ``` Updating Guidelines ------------------- [](#updating-guidelines) To keep your AI guidelines up to date with the latest versions of installed Laravel ecosystem packages, run: ``` php artisan boost:update ``` You can also automate this process by adding it to your Composer scripts: ``` { "scripts": { "post-update-cmd": ["@php artisan boost:update --ansi"] } } ``` Skills System Support --------------------- [](#skills-system-support) Laravel Boost v2.0 introduces a powerful **Skills system** that extends AI-assisted development with specialized, reusable instructions. The boost-for-kiro-ide package provides **zero-configuration** support for Skills - they work automatically with Kiro IDE. ### What are Skills? [](#what-are-skills) Skills are modular AI instructions (markdown files) that enhance Kiro's ability to perform specific Laravel development tasks. They provide specialized knowledge, workflow automation, and best practices for common patterns. ### Installing Skills [](#installing-skills) Install skills from GitHub repositories using the `boost:add-skill` command: ``` php artisan boost:add-skill owner/repository ``` **Example:** ``` php artisan boost:add-skill laravel/boost-skill-livewire ``` Skills are automatically: - Downloaded and installed to `.ai/skills/` - Loaded by Laravel Boost - Made available to Kiro IDE through the MCP protocol - **No additional configuration required!** ### How It Works [](#how-it-works) 1. **Automatic Loading**: Laravel Boost loads skills from `.ai/skills/` 2. **MCP Integration**: Skills are delivered to Kiro through the Model Context Protocol 3. **Zero Configuration**: No Kiro-specific setup needed - it just works! 4. **Immediate Availability**: Skills are available in Kiro's AI context right away ### Creating Custom Skills [](#creating-custom-skills) You can create custom skills for your team: ``` mkdir -p .ai/skills/my-custom-skill touch .ai/skills/my-custom-skill/SKILL.md ``` Write your skill instructions in the `SKILL.md` file, and it's automatically available to Kiro. For more information about the Skills system, see the [Laravel Boost documentation](https://github.com/laravel/boost). Compatibility ------------- [](#compatibility) This package is designed to be compatible with all versions of Laravel Boost ^2.0. It uses the extension hooks provided by Laravel Boost to register the Kiro code environment. ### Tested Versions [](#tested-versions) - Laravel Boost: ^2.0 - Laravel: 11.x, 12.x - PHP: 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 Automatic Detection ------------------- [](#automatic-detection) The package automatically detects Kiro IDE installations in the following locations: **macOS:** - `/Applications/Kiro.app` **Linux:** - `/opt/kiro` - `/usr/local/bin/kiro` - `~/.local/bin/kiro` **Windows:** - `%ProgramFiles%\Kiro` - `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Kiro` **Project Detection:** - Presence of the `.kiro` directory in the project Testing ------- [](#testing) Run the tests with: ``` composer test ``` To run only static analysis: ``` composer lint ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information about what has changed recently.
