// how it works

How it works

  1. Check the prerequisite

    KiroCrew's default agent backend is kiro-cli — install it and sign in first.

  2. Install KiroCrew

    Use the one-line installer, the Docker image, or a source build.

  3. Run setup and doctor

    Run the setup and health-check commands (source builds) so the gateway is configured correctly.

  4. Start the gateway and open the dashboard

    Launch the workspace and open the local web dashboard to give your crew its first task.

// features

Why people love it

Persistent sessions

Agent sessions survive restarts and dropped connections instead of resetting context.

Self-learning lessons

Corrections and failures are distilled into lessons the crew applies next time.

Self-evolving skills

Skills improve over time based on what works, rather than staying frozen.

Checkpointed long tasks

Long-running work is checkpointed with validation and retries, so it resumes where it stopped.

Scheduled and heartbeat jobs

Crews can run recurring and background jobs unattended.

Guardrails built in

Tool approvals, sandboxing, credential redaction, and audit events for agent actions.

Questions, answered

Who maintains KiroCrew?

kirodotdev, the team behind the Kiro developer tools ecosystem (kiro.dev).

Is KiroCrew free?

The project is Apache-2.0 licensed. It drives agents through kiro-cli, so any model access follows your Kiro account/subscription.

Does it need a paid API key?

It needs kiro-cli installed and signed in — model access comes from that sign-in rather than a separate KiroCrew key.

How does it compare to running Claude Code or Codex directly?

Those are session-based agents. KiroCrew wraps agent backends in a persistent workspace with memory, lessons, evolving skills, scheduling, and checkpointed long tasks.

How do I get started?

Install kiro-cli and sign in, run the one-line installer, then open http://localhost:5476.
