## What pkstack does, in the publisher's words

Engineering workflows, repeatable checks, and project knowledge for Kiro.

PKStack brings Poteto's pstack workflows and a curated set of development skills to Kiro CLI and IDE. Investigate a codebase, compare designs, implement a change, review it, and keep the decisions for the next task. A project-local command runner records the checks you ran and their results.

Install PKStack as a Kiro Power and work through the workspace pkstack agent. Kiro handles the conversation, native Specs, model selection, tools, and approvals. PKStack adds the workflows, verification records, and repository Wiki.

## Skills

- archify: Create polished, validated, offline-capable architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle diagrams with the reviewed Archify runtime.
- architect: Design or revise a component through grounded architecture analysis, structurally distinct alternatives, explicit tradeoffs, and executable verification. Use for system boundaries, APIs, data models, migrations, or high-impact refactors.
- arena: Compare multiple structurally distinct solutions to one artifact under a shared rubric, select a base, coherently graft the strongest ideas, and verify the result. Use when a design or implementation has meaningful competing approaches.
- automate-me: Turn a demonstrated, repeatable working style into a reviewable project-local Kiro skill without mining private transcripts or publishing changes automatically.
- babysit-pr: Check or supervise a GitHub pull request's CI, published review feedback, and mergeability; diagnose failures and repair authorized branch issues until the agreed stopping point.
- blast-radius: Trace one proposed change or suspected defect through callers, state, boundaries, and executable behavior to establish its real blast radius.
- bro: Restate the prior answer in direct everyday language while preserving its important facts, caveats, and requested next action.
- build-iterated-agentic-loop: Build a bounded, observable, repo-local agent loop from locally runnable sensor, controller, Kiro actuator, validation, memory, and flow-control components.
- create-verification-skill: Design and prove a project-local verification workflow that exercises real user behavior through a bounded, deterministic, rerunnable contract.
- design-control-loop: Design a locally runnable, observable agent control loop with an explicit set point, sensor, controller, Kiro actuator, disturbances, and dampener.
- diagnosing-bugs: Reproduce and diagnose bugs or performance regressions with a tight feedback loop, competing hypotheses, and proof of the original symptom. Use when behavior fails, flakes, or becomes slow.
- domain-modeling: Resolve ambiguous project terminology and domain relationships against concrete scenarios and code, and maintain the resulting glossary and consequential decisions.
