280 PRs · 61 repositories
Search window: – · captured Oct 14, 2026 (UTC)
This is a sample of publicly attributed work, not total usage or a market-share estimate. Repositories are not customers. Attribution is declared in metadata, not independently verified tool execution; it does not prove exclusive authorship or autonomy. PR status is recorded at capture; merged does not establish correctness.
Method and audit data
Up to 100 most recently created search results in each of five consecutive 28-day windows; post-filtered for attribution in the PR body, bot author, or Codex branch. Not a random or exhaustive sample.
Returned records dated May 25, 2026–Oct 10, 2026.

Weekly attributed output on public GitHub. Output visible through the agent's own bot or workflow is exact; output measured through declared attribution is an estimate. Window: 2025-02-03 to 2026-10-12.

Developer output
Public pull requests opened by Amazon Q's developer agent
Visible through its workflow, so exact. Small next to the majors, but it now has a countable public signal. Q's IDE work lands under the developer and remains invisible.
Last full week (ending 2026-10-18): 4 agent-marked PRs (-60% week over week), search estimate.
Merge rate: 62.3% of its pull requests get merged (76 of 122 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-08-10 to 2026-10-04). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.
GitHub review activity: 7.9% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 92.1% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.
In significant repos (company-owned or 10+ stars), 43.5% of its merged PRs got a human review. Across all sampled repos, the rate is 34.2%. Human review means a non-author, non-bot GitHub reviewer in the PR-lifecycle sample. 1 sampled PRs had more than 100 review records, so those reviewer lists are marked truncated.
Median time to merge: 25 min. The unreviewed median is 0.22h. The human-reviewed median is 0.57h. From a 120-PR sample merged 2025-08-29 to 2026-08-28.
Test-inclusion: 30.8% of its sampled merged PRs touch a test file. This is a rough read on production readiness.

Direct competitors
- Amazon Q Developer is the AWS-wide coding assistant surface; it should not be collapsed into Kiro.
- The public CLI repo gives a visible open-source signal, while IDE and AWS-console adoption are not reflected in npm or GitHub stars.
