Hello, glad to see you generated a PR for this! Just a few questions though, do you have screenshots of it actually working with kiros spec engine? Or, does this just use the vibe chat functionality only ?

mrsaifullah52 · 2025-10-10T16:15:24Z

for now its working with the vibe requests, but i hope with few more considerations we can make it work with the spec requests too, for that bmad output files should go in the .kiro/specs/ dir not to the docs/

ive figured it out, in order to use the spec request we need to build new agent rules specifically the Spec Agent, overriding the kiro original spec engine is not difficult.

looking forward to see if you can get it to work. It was one of the methods I tried as well but in july/august version of kiro wasn't a success
