warpdotdev/warp: Support Kiro CLI Agent Integration in Warp

Creativity

The take

effort: ~1-2 weeks

This is a feature request for Warp, a popular terminal emulator, to integrate the Kiro CLI agent. Warp already supports several other AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. The task involves understanding Warp's agent integration API and implementing the necessary bridge for Kiro CLI.

Developers

The gap in what exists: While Warp supports many agents, Kiro CLI is missing, and a well-implemented integration fills a specific user request for those already invested in Kiro.
Wedge to win: Target developers who use both Warp and Kiro CLI; they would switch or adopt Warp more fully if their preferred agent is seamlessly integrated.
Reputation value (worth doing free for proof) — 85/100: A merged PR to a popular 58k-star open-source project like Warp is high-value proof-of-work, demonstrating expertise in developer tools and AI agent integration.
Likely monetization: unclear

Deliver it

A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.

You are an expert developer contributing to the Warp.dev open-source terminal emulator. Your task is to implement a new feature: Kiro CLI agent integration into Warp. Follow the existing patterns for third-party CLI agent integrations like Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. The core task is to create an adapter that allows Warp to execute commands via Kiro CLI and display its output correctly within the terminal context. Use Rust (Warp's primary language) for the implementation. 

**MVP:**
1. Fork the `warpdotdev/warp` GitHub repository.
2. Identify the relevant modules and APIs used for existing agent integrations.
3. Implement the minimal Rust code required to invoke Kiro CLI commands (e.g., `kiro help`, `kiro generate code`) from within Warp and capture its stdout/stderr.
4. Ensure basic error handling for Kiro CLI failures.
5. Write a simple test case that verifies Warp can successfully communicate with and receive output from the Kiro CLI.

**Build & Verify Gate:** A working prototype demonstrates that Warp can initiate a Kiro CLI command and display its output in a test environment, mimicking the behavior of other integrated agents.

Prerequisites — cost & what to learn

How you'd build it

1Fork the Warp.dev repository on GitHub.
2Study Warp's existing third-party CLI agent integrations (e.g., Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) to understand their API and architecture.
3Implement the necessary adapter/integration code to allow Warp to communicate with the Kiro CLI agent, following the patterns of existing integrations.
4Develop unit and integration tests to ensure the Kiro CLI agent functions correctly within Warp, covering typical usage scenarios.
5Submit a Pull Request to the `warpdotdev/warp` repository with the new Kiro CLI agent integration.

Risks & moats

Warp's internal architecture might be complex and require significant learning to integrate new agents effectively.
The Kiro CLI might have quirks or undocumented behaviors that make integration difficult.
The PR might not be accepted by the Warp team, requiring extensive revisions or a different approach.
Maintaining compatibility with future Warp and Kiro CLI updates will be an ongoing effort.

Original context

### Pre-submit Checks - [x] I have [searched Warp feature requests](https://github.com/warpdotdev/warp/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3AFEATURE) and there are no duplicates - [x] I have [searched Warp docs](https://docs.warp.dev) and my feature is not there ### Describe the solution you'd like? Warp currently supports several third-party CLI coding agents: - [Claude Code](https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/third-party-agents/claude-code) — Anthropic's CLI coding agent - [OpenAI Codex](https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/third-party-agents/codex) — OpenAI's CLI coding agent - [OpenCode](https://docs.warp.dev/agent-platform/third-party-agents/opencode) — Open-source CLI coding agent - Amp — Sourcegraph's CLI coding agent - Auggie — Augment Code's CLI coding agent - Gemini CLI — Google's CLI coding agent - Droid — Factory's CLI coding agent - Pi — Open-source CLI coding agent It would be great if [Kiro CLI](https://kiro.dev/cli/) could be added to this list of supported agents! ### Is your feature request related to a problem?
