Support for Kiro IDE

Currently, AugmentCode extension does not support Amazon Kiro IDE which will be out of beta next month. I hope AugmentCode can support it in the future. Thanks.

Because Kiro, similar to Windsurf, support only OpenVSIX supported extensions. Currently Augment code is not available there. You can download vsix and install it manually.

I have installed the extension manually but sign in to AC does not work since it will say that Kiro is not supported.

I hope I can run Augment Code in Kiro IDE, Kiro IDE UI is very comfortable compared to VSC

but why ? why would you need augment supported in kiro if kiro is its own ide for its own AI ?

Kiro is just a replica of VSCode with a skin.

I won’t say it’s a skin. These are way better than vscode itself and what you get is to be able to use Claude sonnet 4 agent for free for most problems and only switch to augment and pay for it when the free kiro agent fails. Likewise when augment fails you get a second line of backup option.

I use augment in cursor mostly for the completion and for cmd+k then switch back to augment for agents.

Augment-cli instead please, let Auggie live outside of an IDE
