Will Kiro CLI replace the ArgoCD UI?

Not fully—no. UI for viz, audits. Kiro for fast ops. Best as combo.

How do I set up Kiro CLI with ArgoCD?

ArgoCD running, API token, Node.js 18+. JSON agent config with MCP server. kiro-cli --agent argocd-agent. Dev: port-forward. Prod: secure TLS.

Is Kiro CLI safe for production GitOps?

Yes, with MCP_READ_ONLY=true. Confirms destructives. Subagents isolate. But audit chats—agents ain't infallible. Word count: ~950.
