The standard installer adds Kiro-specific review skills and an example custom agent when it detects kiro-cli or ~/.kiro. The current setup uses manual skills rather than a transparent plan hook.

​
Install

Run the standard Plannotator installer. If you install Kiro later, rerun the installer. The installer adds:
  • plannotator-review and plannotator-annotate under ~/.kiro/skills
  • plannotator-setup-goal and plannotator-visual-explainer under ~/.kiro/skills
  • an example agent at ~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json
An existing ~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json is not overwritten. The standard installer gives Kiro two normally optional skills: plannotator-setup-goal and plannotator-visual-explainer. It does not install plannotator-compound for Kiro. See Install and Manage Plannotator Skills for the complete matrix.

​
Use the example agent

The agent exposes the installed skills as skill:// resources. You can add the same resources to your own Kiro custom agent instead. Rerun the standard installer to update the managed Kiro skill copies. Your existing ~/.kiro/agents/plannotator.json remains unchanged. Last verified against Plannotator OSS v0.25.1 on July 31, 2026.
