Kiiro Kaiju: Refactor Rampage

Inspiration

Kaiju Monster movies (like Godzilla) and coding Katas

What it does

I asked AI for ideas for award winning entries for the Code with Kiro Hackathon. It had several ideas.

The Refactoring example for the Education category seemed interesting but a bit boring, but made me think about AI refactoring monstrously complex code.

On the spot, I came up with HydraBug and the Complexasaur Kaiju as Coding Katas. Thus was born a (hopefully) award winning, entertaining Hackathon entry.

Uses AI to grade your entry based on 4 different roles.

How we built it

Using AWS Kiro to build 4 AI grader roles

Challenges we ran into

Kiro looking for global variable called Kiro when I tried to allow Kiro to help refactor code.

How best to let Kiro know about bugs and broken tests

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Use of Claude 3 Haiku for grading code via AWS Bedrock

What we learned

Add a budget tracker so LLM charges don’t get too high
