Kiro Spec Progress

A tiny VS Code / Kiro extension that reads .kiro/specs/*/tasks.md, counts checkboxes, and shows a progress bar per spec in its own sidebar tab (plus an overall % in the status bar).

• - [x] done, - [ ] todo, - [-] / - [~] in progress (counted as not done)
• - [ ]* ... optional tasks (toggle with kiroSpecProgress.includeOptional)
• Sub-tasks are counted too; set kiroSpecProgress.topLevelOnly to count only top-level tasks
• Checkboxes inside ``` code fences are ignored
• Click a spec to open its tasks.md. Updates live as you edit (even before saving).

Install

kiro --install-extension kiro-spec-progress-0.1.0.vsix   # or: code --install-extension ...

Or: Extensions view → ... → Install from VSIX...

Hack on it

• src/parse.js — the counting logic (no VS Code deps). npm test runs test/parse.test.js.
• src/extension.js — scanning, file watching, the webview HTML/CSS.
• F5 launches an Extension Development Host on test/fixtures (sample specs).
• Rebuild the .vsix: npm run build (see below).

Build & publish

One-time setup:

npm install                                   # installs vsce + ovsx locally
npx vsce login digitaldefiance                # Azure DevOps PAT (Marketplace > Manage scope)
export OVSX_PAT=...                           # token from open-vsx.org (Kiro installs from Open VSX)
npx ovsx create-namespace digitaldefiance     # first time only

Scripts:

package.json has "private": true so a stray npm publish can't push this to the npm registry.
