📄 Description

Problem

Kiro provider thinking behavior is inconsistent between different AI agent tools:

  • Claude Code: Shows thinking block (446 chars)
  • OpenCode: No thinking block (0 chars)

Root Cause

Different AI agent tools send different thinking parameters:

  • Claude Code sends: thinking: { type: 'enabled', budget_tokens: 20000 }
  • OpenCode sends: no thinking parameter at all

This causes inconsistent UX where thinking appears in some tools but not others.

Solution

Force-enable thinking mode at provider level in generateContentStream():

if (!requestBody.thinking || requestBody.thinking.type !== 'enabled') {
    requestBody.thinking = {
        type: 'enabled',
        budget_tokens: KIRO_THINKING.DEFAULT_BUDGET_TOKENS  // 20000
    };
    console.log('[Kiro] Force-enabled thinking for consistent behavior');
}

Test Results

Comprehensive testing with 4 scenarios - ALL PASSED

Scenario Before After
No thinking param (OpenCode) 0 chars 157 chars
Thinking enabled (Claude Code) 446 chars 157 chars
Thinking disabled 0 chars 212 chars
Custom budget Works Works

All scenarios now show consistent thinking block with proper streaming.

Impact

  • Consistency: Thinking now always appears in Kiro, matching Orchids behavior
  • Cross-tool compatibility: All AI agent tools (OpenCode, Claude Code, etc.) now have identical behavior
  • Backward compatible: Tools already sending thinking: enabled continue working normally
  • ⚠️ Token usage: Thinking adds ~150-450 chars per response (acceptable tradeoff for consistency)

Changes

  • Modified: src/providers/claude/claude-kiro.js (+8 lines)
  • Added force-enable logic before stream processing
  • Added informative log message for debugging

Fixes inconsistent thinking behavior reported in Claude Kiro vs Orchids comparison.
