lifecycle behavior.
| Feature | Conversion | Summary |
|---|
| Agent turn completion trigger | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Hook trigger that fires after each agent turn completes, enabling automated follow-up actions. |
| File operation triggers (save, create, delete) | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Hook triggers that fire on file save, file create, and file delete events within the IDE, enabling automated responses to file lifecycle changes. |
| Hooks configured via IDE UI only | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Kiro hooks are created either by describing desired functionality in natural language (Kiro generates the configuration) or by manually completing a form with title, description, event type, action type, and execution instructions. No documented file-based configuration format — configuration is not portable. |
| Manual on-demand hook trigger | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Hook trigger type that fires only on explicit user request, enabling on-demand automation without automatic event-based execution. |
| Predefined agent prompt as hook action | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Hook action type that runs a predefined agent prompt through the Kiro agent instead of a shell command. Configured via the IDE panel. |
| Spec task lifecycle triggers (before/after spec task execution) | Not portable
Conversion type: Not portable Unique to this provider — can’t be carried across providers. Learn more → | Triggers firing before and after spec task execution, tied to Kiro's spec/planning workflow. |
