A pi provider extension that connects pi to the Kiro API (AWS CodeWhisperer/Q), exposing 19 free models across 8 families through one provider surface.

Kiro gives you a strong free model menu, but pi needs a provider that speaks Kiro's auth, model catalog, and streaming protocol cleanly. pi-provider-kiro handles that bridge, including:

• AWS Builder ID, IAM Identity Center, Google, and GitHub login flows
• shared credentials from an existing kiro-cli session when available
• reasoning-aware streaming
• region-aware model filtering so pi only shows models your Kiro region can actually use

Install the provider:

pi install npm:pi-provider-kiro

Or install it globally with npm:

npm install -g pi-provider-kiro

Then log in from pi:

/login kiro

The login flow supports:

• AWS Builder ID — native device-code flow, works well over SSH/remotes
• Your organization — IAM Identity Center start URL
• Google — social login via kiro-cli
• GitHub — social login via kiro-cli

If you already use kiro-cli, the provider can reuse those credentials instead of forcing a second login.

All listed models are free to use through Kiro.

Once logged in, select any Kiro model in pi:

/model claude-sonnet-4-6

Or let Kiro pick automatically:

/model auto

Reasoning is automatically enabled for supported models. Use /reasoning to adjust the thinking budget.

Generic transient retries such as HTTP 429 and 5xx are handled by pi-coding-agent at the session layer.

This provider only keeps local recovery for Kiro-specific cases:

• 403 auth races, where it can refresh credentials from kiro-cli
• first-token / stalled-stream recovery
• empty-stream retries
• non-retryable Kiro body markers like MONTHLY_REQUEST_COUNT and INSUFFICIENT_MODEL_CAPACITY

The extension is organized as one feature per file:

src/
├── index.ts            # Extension registration
├── models.ts           # 19 model definitions + ID resolution
├── oauth.ts            # Multi-provider auth (Builder ID / Google / GitHub)
├── kiro-cli.ts         # kiro-cli credential sharing
