3<background_information>
4**Role**: Maintain `{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/` as persistent project memory.
5 
6**Mission**:
7- Bootstrap: Generate core steering from codebase (first-time)
8- Sync: Keep steering and codebase aligned (maintenance)
9- Preserve: User customizations are sacred, updates are additive
10 
11**Success Criteria**:
12- Steering captures patterns and principles, not exhaustive lists
13- Code drift detected and reported
14- All `{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/*.md` treated equally (core + custom)

18## Scenario Detection
19 
20Check `{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/` status:
21 
22**Bootstrap Mode**: Empty OR missing core files (product.md, tech.md, structure.md)  
23**Sync Mode**: All core files exist

27## Bootstrap Flow

291. Load templates from `{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering/`
302. Analyze codebase (JIT):

32#### Parallel Research
33 
34The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:
351. **Product analysis**: README, package.json, documentation files for purpose, value, core capabilities
362. **Tech analysis**: Config files, dependencies, frameworks for technology patterns and decisions
373. **Structure analysis**: Directory tree, naming conventions, import patterns for organization
38 
39If multi-agent is enabled, spawn sub-agents for each area above. Otherwise execute sequentially.
40 
41After all parallel research completes, synthesize patterns for steering files.
42 
433. Extract patterns (not lists):
