README

Empowers Amazon's Kiro IDE within Laravel Boost. While Laravel Boost 2.4+ now natively configures Kiro IDE, this package remains indispensable. Kiro IDE does not currently understand MCP Prompts natively. This package acts as your "Hook Superpower," seamlessly translating all rich Boost MCP recommendations and commands into interactive Agent Hooks (.kiro/hooks/*.hook), enabling you to trigger them visually right from the Kiro interface.

About Kiro IDE

Kiro IDE is an AI-powered integrated development environment from Amazon that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI agents to interact with your Laravel project in a contextualized and efficient manner.

About Laravel Boost

Laravel Boost accelerates AI-assisted development by providing the essential context and structure that AI needs to generate high-quality, framework-specific Laravel code. This package extends Boost to work seamlessly with Kiro IDE.

Requirements

PHP 8.2 or higher
Laravel 11.x, 12.x or 13.x
Laravel Boost ^2.4
Kiro IDE installed on your system

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require jcf/boost-for-kiro-ide --dev

The package automatically registers Kiro IDE with Laravel Boost through Laravel's auto-discovery.

✨ Laravel Boost v2.4+ Native Support
Starting with version 2.4, Laravel Boost creates the Kiro Agent and registers MCP capabilities out-of-the-box. The industry standard AGENTS.md file is now used natively, replacing the old .kiro/steering/laravel-boost.md. This is fantastic because it centralizes all AI guidelines in a single, unified file, cutting down on token waste and improving context retention. This package builds exactly on top of that official integration, focusing entirely on expanding your Hook arsenal.

Usage

For general setup and usage of Laravel Boost, please refer to the official Laravel Boost documentation.

Created File Structure

After installation and running the sync, hooks will be generated in your Laravel project:

.kiro/
└── hooks/
    ├── boost-prompt-laravel-code-simplifier.kiro.hook
    ├── boost-prompt-upgrade-inertia-v3.kiro.hook
    ├── boost-prompt-upgrade-laravel-v13.kiro.hook
    └── ...

You can add these files to .gitignore if desired, as they can be regenerated at any time.

Prompt-to-Hook Conversion

Kiro IDE does not support MCP prompts. To make Boost's prompts available in Kiro, this package converts them into agent hooks — user-triggered actions that appear in Kiro's Agent Hooks panel.

This gives Kiro users access to the same upgrade guides and code assistance prompts that other MCP clients get natively, like "Upgrade Laravel v13" or "Laravel Code Simplifier".

Hooks are synced automatically when running boost:install or boost:update. Only prompts that are relevant to your project are included (e.g., the Inertia upgrade prompt only appears if your project uses Inertia).

You can also sync hooks manually:

php artisan boost:kiro-hooks

Disabling Automatic Sync

If you prefer to manage hooks manually, you can disable the automatic sync:

// config/boost.php
'agents' => [
    'kiro' => [
        'auto_sync_hooks' => false,
    ],
],

When disabled, hooks are only synced when you explicitly run php artisan boost:kiro-hooks.

Compatibility

This package is designed to be compatible with all versions of Laravel Boost ^2.0. It uses the extension hooks provided by Laravel Boost to register the Kiro code environment.

Tested Versions

Laravel Boost: ^2.4
Laravel: 11.x, 12.x, 13.x
PHP: 8.2, 8.3, 8.4

Testing

Run the tests with:

composer test

To run only static analysis:

composer lint
