From Musician to Agents: Building AI Workflows with Kiro Spec-Driven Development
DigitalColmer · x · 2026-09-22
A newsletter promo for chapter 2 of a "From Musician to Agents" series, focused on spec-driven development with AWS's Kiro. Key takeaways:
- Don't start fully autonomous: the author fired the agent that auto-picked trending topics; two human-in-the-loop checkpoints beat "set and forget" when output represents your voice, livelihood, and brand.
- Spec first, cathedral never: Kiro + steering docs + Scaled-Agile-style increments delivered a working Trend Scout in small value-showing slices; specs (requirements → design → tasks) beat vague "build me an agent" prompts.
- Decouple early: a list in the terminal isn't a product; you need a proper UI plus a bridge layer.
