Kiro CLI provides two AI-powered assistance features to help you work more efficiently in your terminal:
These features work independently and support hundreds of popular command line tools including git, npm, docker, and aws.
The autocomplete dropdown appears to the right of your cursor when typing commands, showing available options, subcommands, and arguments that you can select using arrow keys.
The autocomplete dropdown is automatically enabled after you install Kiro CLI:
Customize the autocomplete behavior:
# Enable/disable autocomplete kiro-cli settings autocomplete.disable false # enable kiro-cli settings autocomplete.disable true # disable # Change theme kiro-cli theme dark kiro-cli theme light kiro-cli theme system # View current theme kiro-cli theme # List available themes kiro-cli theme --list
Inline suggestions appear as gray "ghost text" directly on your command line as you type. This feature works independently from the dropdown menu.
Inline suggestions are enabled by default:
Control inline suggestions with the kiro-cli inline command:
# Enable inline suggestions kiro-cli inline enable # Disable inline suggestions kiro-cli inline disable # Check current status kiro-cli inline status # Set customization kiro-cli inline set-customization [ARN] # Show available customizations kiro-cli inline show-customizations
