What it does

Kiro Skill is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Interactive feature development workflow from idea to implementation. Creates requirements (EARS format), design documents, and implementation task lists. Use when creating feature specs, requirements documents, design documents, or implementation plans. Triggered by "kiro" or references to .kiro/specs/ directory.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering PRD writing, Planning and Task breakdown. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.

When your agent uses it

  • Creating feature specs
  • Requirements documents
  • Design documents
  • Implementation plans

Example prompts

  • “/kiro-skill”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Requirements → Define what needs to be built (EARS format with user stories)
  2. Design → Determine how to build it (architecture, components, data models)
  3. Tasks → Create actionable implementation steps (test-driven, incremental)
  4. Execute → Implement tasks one at a time

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown, typescript, mermaid and bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Kiro Skill loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,280 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,280 words (~3,466 tokens).

“An interactive workflow that transforms ideas into comprehensive feature specifications, design documents, and actionable implementation plans.”
