Template Architecture

Core Principle: Hide Complexity, Show Value (with Kiro-Native Foundation)

Each quick-start template:

•✅ Uses kiro workflow internally (mandatory 4-phase structure)
•✅ Auto-manages phases for simplicity
•✅ Shows immediate value and clear progress
•✅ Provides progressive kiro revelation as users advance
•✅ Maintains full system compatibility

Progressive Disclosure Strategy

yaml

complexity_levels:
  level_0_quickstart:
    features: [basic_tasks, simple_progress, clear_outcomes]
    kiro_mode: "auto_managed"  # Kiro active but auto-progressed
    hidden: [kiro_details, approval_gates, deliverables, dependencies]
    display: "simple_progress_bar"
    
  level_1_enhanced:
    features: [phase_names, basic_deliverables]
    kiro_mode: "semi_visible"  # Show phase names
    hidden: [approval_workflow, advanced_dependencies]
    display: "phase_progress"
    
  level_2_full:
    features: [all_milestone_features]
    kiro_mode: "fully_visible"  # Complete kiro visualization
    hidden: []
    display: "kiro_dashboard"

Auto-Configuration with Kiro-Native

Each template automatically:

•✅ Creates kiro workflow structure (4 phases mandatory)
•✅ Auto-progresses phases (no manual transitions)
•✅ Sets smart kiro defaults (auto-approval for quickstart)
•✅ Generates simple deliverables (template-specific)
•✅ Configures progressive revelation (kiro details unlock over time)
•✅ Provides clear next steps after each phase

Upgrade Integration

Templates seamlessly upgrade to full system:

•✅ Zero data loss during upgrade
•✅ Backward compatibility maintained
•✅ Optional feature activation as needed
•✅ Gradual complexity introduction

🚨 Quick-Start Command Implementation with Kiro-Native

Kiro Integration for Quickstart

bash

# Initialize kiro-native for quickstart templates
initialize_quickstart_kiro() {
    local template_type=$1
    local milestone_id=$2
    
    # Source kiro-native components
    source "templates/skills/milestone/../../shared/quickstart/kiro-native.md"
    
    # Set quickstart-specific kiro configuration
    export KIRO_POLICY_MODE="mandatory"
    export KIRO_ENFORCEMENT_LEVEL="flexible"  # Allow auto-progression
    export KIRO_VISUALIZATION_MODE="progressive"  # Start simple, reveal gradually
    
    # Configure auto-approval for quickstart
    export KIRO_DESIGN_APPROVAL=false
    export KIRO_SPEC_APPROVAL=false
    export KIRO_TASK_APPROVAL=false
    export KIRO_EXECUTE_APPROVAL=false
    
    # Initialize kiro system
    initialize_kiro_native
    
    # Apply quickstart simplifications
    configure_quickstart_kiro_mode "$template_type"
}

# Configure kiro mode based on template
configure_quickstart_kiro_mode() {
    local template_type=$1
    
    case "$template_type" in
        "personal")
            # Solo projects: fully automated phases
            export KIRO_AUTO_PROGRESS=true
            export KIRO_SHOW_PHASES=false
            ;;
        "team")
            # Team projects: show phase names
            export KIRO_AUTO_PROGRESS=true
            export KIRO_SHOW_PHASES=true
            ;;
        "api"|"frontend")
            # Technical projects: show deliverables
            export KIRO_AUTO_PROGRESS=false
            export KIRO_SHOW_PHASES=true
            export KIRO_SHOW_DELIVERABLES=true
            ;;
        "bugfix")
            # Quick fixes: compressed phases
            export KIRO_AUTO_PROGRESS=true
            export KIRO_COMPRESSED_PHASES=true
