Kiro integration

May 24, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Kiro support is beta.

tokenjuice install kiro writes an always-included steering file to .kiro/steering/tokenjuice.md in the current workspace. Kiro loads steering files from .kiro/steering/, so this gives Kiro IDE, CLI, and Web stable guidance for using tokenjuice when they run terminal commands.

Install

tokenjuice install kiro
tokenjuice doctor kiro

Behavior

  • The steering file tells Kiro to prefer tokenjuice wrap -- <command> for noisy terminal commands.
  • The steering file tells Kiro to treat compacted output as authoritative.
  • The only documented escape hatch is tokenjuice wrap --raw -- <command>.
  • Existing .kiro/steering/tokenjuice.md content is backed up before install.
  • KIRO_PROJECT_DIR can override the workspace root for tests and scripted installs.

Current beta caveat

Kiro steering files are prompt guidance, not command hooks. Kiro CLI hooks can observe tool calls and block pre-tool usage, but their documented post-tool behavior does not replace the tool output returned to the agent.
