Run Kiro CLI programmatically: introducing headless mode

This article explains how to use Kiro CLI in headless mode, allowing it to run in environments without a browser, such as CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and container builds. It covers generating an API key, setting it as an environment variable, and building a practical example: an automated code reviewer agent that runs on every push via GitHub Actions. The post includes step-by-step instructions for defining a custom code review agent in JSON and setting up the GitHub Actions workflow with the API key stored as a secret.
