Developer command-line tools for plug-in and customization will be integrated into cli-kintone.

cli-kintone

This integration allows all plug-in and customization operations, which previously required multiple tools, to be completed using cli-kintone.

By utilizing both the new integrated tools and the existing features of cli-kintone, users will be able to perform all types of operations from development to production within a single CLI.

As a result, the existing tools that provide equivalent functionality will reach the end of support in August 2026.
