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.
| Document | Covers |
|---|---|
| overview.md | System diagrams, the component map, and the subsystem-to-spec index. Start here. |
| mcp.md | MCP server discovery, tool management, the MCP-first rule, and the tool-statelessness invariant. |
| security-deep-dive.md | The security model as a whole: threat model, trust boundaries, and how the layers compose. |
| resource-protection.md | Process limits, sandbox resource controls, and rate limiting. |
design-notes/ holds narrow design records that have no owning module spec: see
its index.
