chore(gitignore): add .kiro, .claude, .amazonq to prevent deletion

[nikkhilaaryan]

Issue number: #2020

Summary

Kiro, Claude, and Amazon Q create local configuration folders (.kiro/, .claude/, .amazonq/).
When developers run git clean, these folders may be deleted, causing loss of settings and session data.

Changes

• Added .kiro/, .claude/, and .amazonq/ to the root .gitignore.
• Added .github/instructions file to explain why these folders are ignored.

User experience

Before: Running git clean could remove .kiro, .claude, or .amazonq folders, wiping out custom settings.
After: These folders are preserved, protecting developer configurations.

Could you make sure the PR follows our PR template and the semantic commit title?

Here is a reference PR from our Python repository for the same change: aws-powertools/powertools-lambda-python#7137

Do you mind also adding .github/instructions?

Hi @phipag,

Thanks for the review! I’ve updated the PR to:

• Follow the PR template
• Update the title to follow semantic commit style
• Add .github/instructions with details about the ignored folders

Please let me know if there’s anything else I should adjust.

Thanks @nikkhilaaryan. I think this was a misunderstanding. I meant that you should add the .github/instructions file to .gitignore.

[phipag]

Just some small suggestion. Let's move all these files/folder just under an # LLMs command.

You can directly commit these suggestions on GitHub into this PR.
