When you mention document-related keywords in Kiro, the relevant power activates automatically. The power provides Kiro with:

1. Domain expertise — Best practices for each document type
2. Technical guidance — Which libraries and tools to use
3. Quality standards — Formatting conventions and professional standards
4. Workflow patterns — Step-by-step approaches for common tasks
