Folder Hierarchy

Files gald3r writes and the directories it expects for Kiro CLI. The .kiro/ tree is the primary gald3r surface.

project-root/
.kiro/steering/       ← rules
.kiro/skills/         ← SKILL.md discovery
AGENTS.md             ← instruction file

Key Setup Notes

  • Same .kiro/ folder as Kiro IDE — shared config
  • Lifecycle hooks for terminal-based workflow automation
  • Distinct from Kiro IDE — separate product with CLI focus
