How Kiro Crew fits together, one doc per cross-cutting concern. These docs are maps: they explain structure and rationale and link out to ../system-specs/modules/ for mechanism detail.

DocumentCovers
overview.mdSystem diagrams, the component map, and the subsystem-to-spec index. Start here.
mcp.mdMCP server discovery, tool management, the MCP-first rule, and the tool-statelessness invariant.
security-deep-dive.mdThe security model as a whole: threat model, trust boundaries, and how the layers compose.
resource-protection.mdProcess limits, sandbox resource controls, and rate limiting.

design-notes/ holds narrow design records that have no owning module spec: see its index.
