Spec-Driven Development: Agentic Coding at FAANG Scale and Quality
summary
Kiro claims that Spec‑Driven Development turns prompts into structured EARS requirements, designs, task lists and end‑to‑end code using MCP servers, CDK and AWS Agent Core; a three‑ or four‑person team ships a GA product (public preview since July 14, GA on the 17th) that adds property‑based testing to turn requirements into invariants. Example: a Gramps dad‑joke agent gets S3 persistence added, unit and property tests generated and run, commits include co‑author metadata, and the demo tests pass.
