[Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers) or [watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). ## Late projects usually start with a wrong assumption early on Delivery slips are common and costly. MuleSoft's 2026 Connectivity Benchmark found an average of 26% of IT projects weren't delivered on time in the prior 12 months, with teams spending 36% of their time on custom integration work[^1]. A spec that misunderstands the platform guarantees that rework shows up later, when it's most expensive. With the full StoreConnect skills catalog copied into Kiro, specs start from documented conventions: which records need to exist before others, which changes belong in a theme and which in Salesforce, and which steps need a human approval before anything goes live. ## Keeping up with agent standards is its own full-time job The tools are changing faster than most teams can track. In the same MuleSoft research, 68% of IT leaders said they find it challenging to stay current with emerging standards and protocols for AI agents[^1]. StoreConnect maintains the skills so your team doesn't have to. The package uses Kiro's native skills layout and includes a Power manifest for the Kiro powers registry, pointing to the canonical skills rather than duplicating them, so the content stays current as the platform changes[^2]. ## Planning work against a live store needs guardrails built in A spec-driven agent that can also connect to your store should be held to the same rules as a person. StoreConnect's connection means there's nothing to install or run, the agent signs in as you and inherits your access, and write actions go through the same staged review flow your team already uses[^3]. The spec can describe any change it likes. The store only changes after someone approves it. ## Make the spec right the first time The best time to catch a wrong platform assumption is before it's written into the plan. [Get the skills plugin](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-providers). One command copies the full StoreConnect skills catalog into Kiro CLI at project scope. Installing it connects no store and includes no credentials, so you can trial it against a non-production org. [Watch the full demo](https://storeconnect.com/ai#SC-ContentBlock-ai-full-demo). CEO Mikel Lindsaar demonstrates an agent working on a live store from prompt to approved change, so you can see how a plan becomes a reviewed result. ## References [^1]: [MuleSoft, "Agentic transformation reaches new heights: 2026 Connectivity Benchmark Report insights."](https://blogs.mulesoft.com/agentic-perspectives/connectivity-benchmark-report/){:target="_blank"} [^2]: [StoreConnect, "StoreConnect AI" GitHub repository (README, skills and provider packages).](https://github.com/GetStoreConnect/ai){:target="_blank"} [^3]: [StoreConnect, "Build with AI agents."](https://storeconnect.com/ai) --- ## Follow StoreConnect - [Email Newsletter](https://storeconnect.com/c/lp-newsletter) - [LinkedIn Newsletter](https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7444956928444862464) - [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCngKdP2x8l1wcbAKW3tvU8g) - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/storeconnect) - [X / Twitter](https://x.com/storeconnecthq) ## Popular Links - [Partners](https://storeconnect.com/partners) - [Become a Partner](https://storeconnect.com/become-a-partner) - [News](https://storeconnect.com/articles/news) - [Events](https://storeconnect.com/articles/events) - [Live Events](https://storeconnect.com/live-events) - [Feature Comparison](https://storeconnect.com/how-we-compare) - [Download a free trial](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMkeKUAT) - [Book a Demo](https://storeconnect.com/contact) ## Documentation - [Help documentation](https://support.storeconnect.com/help-documentation) - [Videos & tutorials](https://support.storeconnect.com/videos-tutorials) - [Developer reference](https://support.storeconnect.com/developer-reference) - [Release notes](https://support.storeconnect.com/release-notes) - [Troubleshooting](https://support.storeconnect.com/troubleshooting) - [Trust Center](https://trust.getstoreconnect.com/) - [Status Page](https://status.storeconnect.com/) ## Contact - info@getstoreconnect.com - US +1 415 745 3230 - AUS +61 2 8365 2308 100 S Ashley Dr, Suite 600-2461 Tampa FL 33602-600 USA Level 22, Sydney Place 180 George Street Sydney, NSW, 2000, AUS ## Machine-readable - [Site index for agents](https://storeconnect.com/llms.txt): curated map of this site in llms.txt format - [Documentation index for agents](https://support.storeconnect.com/llms.txt): full technical and product documentation map Every page and article on this site has a Markdown rendering: append `.md` to its URL.
