This is Kiro - the AI IDE that works on your messy, real-world projects. Other AI tools lose context when projects get complex. Kiro gives you spec-driven development that scales beyond prototypes.

Each AI model needs its own prompting approach - like how different makeup brushes are designed for specific tasks. You wouldn't use an eyeliner brush for blush!
I've turned my Nova experiments into a field guide with templates, patterns & examples you can use today!

Hopefully #awswishlist works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent
Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.

What AWS employee did I talk to Sunday evening during #reInvent at Illy, about Cline and Bedrock SDKs?
I think they are on the Bedrock team, and are comfortable with code.
