Test-driven development workflow with philosophy guide - plan → write tests → implement → validate

Comprehensive testing workflow - unit tests ∥ integration tests → E2E tests

Full 5-layer analysis of a specific function. Use when debugging or deeply understanding code.

Show full session token usage, costs, TLDR savings, and hook activity

Friendly onboarding when users ask about capabilities

Goal-based workflow orchestration - routes tasks to specialist agents based on user goals

Evaluate acquisition channels using unit economics, customer quality, and scalability. Use when deciding whether to scale, test, or kill a growth channel.

Diagnose SaaS business health across growth, retention, efficiency, and capital. Use when preparing a business review or prioritizing urgent fixes.

Create a company research brief with executive quotes, product strategy, and org context. Use when preparing for interviews, competitive analysis, partnerships, or market-entry work.

Run a customer journey mapping workshop with adaptive questions and outputs. Use when you need to map stages, actions, emotions, pain points, and opportunities for a persona and scenario.

Guide the PM-to-Director transition across preparing, interviewing, landing, and recalibrating. Use when leadership scope is changing and you need practical coaching.

Frame an epic as a testable hypothesis with target user, expected outcome, and validation method. Use when defining a major initiative before roadmap, discovery, or delivery planning.

Look up SaaS finance metrics, formulas, and benchmarks fast. Use when you need a quick metric definition, formula, or benchmark during analysis.

Uncover customer jobs, pains, and gains in a structured JTBD format. Use when clarifying unmet needs, repositioning a product, or improving discovery and messaging.

Guide teams through Lean UX Canvas v2. Use when framing a business problem, surfacing assumptions, and defining what to learn next.

Build an Opportunity Solution Tree from outcomes to opportunities, solutions, and tests. Use when a stakeholder request needs problem framing before you decide what to build.

Select the right Proof of Life (PoL) probe based on hypothesis, risk, and resources. Use this to match the validation method to the real learning goal, not tooling comfort.

Define a Proof of Life probe to test a risky hypothesis cheaply. Use when you need harsh truth before building real product.

Write an Amazon-style press release that defines customer value before building. Use when aligning stakeholders on a new product, feature, or strategic bet.

Write a user-centered problem statement with who is blocked, what they are trying to do, why it matters, and how it feels. Use when framing discovery, prioritization, or a PRD.

Structure a spoken PM product-sense answer with assumptions, segmentation, pain-point prioritization, and MVP tradeoffs. Use when practicing design, improve, or build-next interview questions.

Create a proto-persona from current research, market signals, and team knowledge. Use when you need a working customer profile before deeper validation.

Evaluate SaaS unit economics and capital efficiency. Use when deciding whether the business can scale efficiently or needs correction.

Calculate TAM, SAM, and SOM with explicit assumptions, methods, and caveats. Use when sizing a market for a product idea, business case, or executive review.

Create user stories with Mike Cohn format and Gherkin acceptance criteria. Use when turning user needs into development-ready work with clear outcomes and testable conditions.

Guide the transition to VP or CPO across preparing, interviewing, landing, and recalibrating. Use when executive product scope is changing fast.

Add or extend coding-agent support in cc-sdd by executing the SOP in docs/cc-sdd/sop-new-agent.md end-to-end. Use when introducing a new agent, adding a subagent-capable variant, or evaluating migration of an existing supported agent to skills-based templates.

Create custom steering documents for specialized project contexts

Investigate implementation failures using root-cause-first debugging. Use when an implementer is blocked, verification fails, or repeated remediation does not converge.

Implement approved tasks using TDD with native subagent dispatch. Runs all pending tasks autonomously or selected tasks manually.

Review a task implementation against approved specs, task boundaries, and verification evidence. Use after an implementer finishes a task, after remediation, or before accepting a task as complete.

Create complete specs (requirements, design, tasks) for all features in roadmap.md using parallel subagent dispatch by dependency wave.

Generate comprehensive technical design translating requirements (WHAT) into architecture (HOW) with discovery process. Use when creating architecture from requirements.

Generate EARS-format requirements based on project description and steering context. Use when generating requirements from project description.

Show specification status and progress

Generate implementation tasks from requirements and design. Use when creating actionable task lists.

Create custom steering documents for specialized project contexts. Use when creating domain-specific steering files.

Maintain {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/ as persistent project memory (bootstrap/sync). Use when initializing or updating steering documents.

Interactive technical design quality review and validation. Use when reviewing design before implementation.

Analyze implementation gap between requirements and existing codebase. Use when planning integration with existing systems.

Verify completion and success claims with fresh evidence. Use before claiming a task is complete, a fix works, tests pass, or a feature is ready for GO.

Manage {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/ as persistent project knowledge

Entry point for new work. Determines the best action path or work decomposition (update existing spec, create new spec, mixed decomposition, or no spec needed) and refines ideas through structured dialogue.

Create comprehensive technical design for a specification

Initialize a new specification with detailed project description
