## MCP Servers

### Configure MCP Servers

1. Copy example: `cp .kiro/settings/mcp.json.example .kiro/settings/mcp.json`
2. Edit `.kiro/settings/mcp.json` with your API keys
3. Restart Kiro or reconnect servers from MCP Server view

### Available MCP Servers (Example)

- `sequential-thinking` - Enhanced reasoning
- `memory` - Persistent memory across sessions
- `context7` - Extended context management
- `vercel` - Vercel deployment
- `railway` - Railway deployment

## Common Workflows

### Feature Development

```
1. /agent swap planner
   "Plan a user authentication feature"

2. /agent swap tdd-guide
   #tdd-workflow
   "Implement the authentication feature"

3. /agent swap code-reviewer
   "Review the authentication implementation"
```

### Bug Fix

```
1. /agent swap planner
   "Investigate why login fails on mobile"

2. /agent swap build-error-resolver
   "Fix the login bug"

3. /agent swap security-reviewer
   "Ensure the fix is secure"
```

### Security Audit

```
1. /agent swap security-reviewer
   #security-review
   "Audit the authentication module"

2. Review findings and fix issues

3. Update lessons-learned.md with patterns
```

### Refactoring

```
1. /agent swap architect
   "Analyze the user module architecture"

2. /agent swap refactor-cleaner
   #verification-loop
   "Refactor based on the analysis"

3. /agent swap code-reviewer
   "Review the refactored code"
```

## Tips

### Get the Most from Agents

- **Be specific about intent**: "Add user authentication with JWT" not "write some auth code"
- **Let agents plan**: Don't micromanage implementation details
- **Provide context**: Reference files with `#file:path/to/file.ts`
- **Iterate with feedback**: "The error handling needs improvement" not "rewrite everything"

### Maintain Quality

- **Enable hooks early**: Catch issues immediately
- **Use TDD workflow**: Tests document behavior and catch regressions
- **Update lessons-learned**: Capture patterns once, use forever
- **Review agent output**: Agents are powerful but not infallible

### Speed Up Development

- **Use specialized agents**: They have optimized prompts and tools
- **Chain agents**: planner → tdd-guide → code-reviewer
- **Leverage skills**: Complex workflows encoded as reusable patterns
- **Use context modes**: #dev-mode for speed, #review-mode for quality

## Troubleshooting

### Agent Not Available

```
# List available agents
/agent list

# Verify installation
ls .kiro/agents/
```

### Skill Not Appearing

```
# Verify installation
ls .kiro/skills/

# Check SKILL.md format
cat .kiro/skills/skill-name/SKILL.md
```

### Hook Not Triggering

1. Check hook is enabled in Agent Hooks panel
2. Verify file patterns match: `"patterns": ["*.ts", "*.tsx"]`
3. Check hook JSON syntax: `cat .kiro/hooks/hook-name.kiro.hook`

### Steering File Not Loading

1. Check frontmatter: `inclusion: auto` or `fileMatch` or `manual`
2. For fileMatch, verify pattern: `fileMatchPattern: "*.ts,*.tsx"`
3. For manual, invoke with: `#filename`

### Script Not Executing

```bash
# Make executable
chmod +x .kiro/scripts/*.sh

# Test manually
.kiro/scripts/quality-gate.sh
```
