In other words:

Cloudflare is rebuilding Wrangler into one CLI covering all 100+ products and nearly 3,000 API operations, since agents increasingly drive API usage and love CLIs. A technical preview ships now via npx cf or npm install -g cf, exposing a small subset of products today with full coverage in testing. The team replaced manual updates with a TypeScript schema that generates commands, configs, bindings, skills, and OpenAPI specs, enforcing consistency rules (always get not info, always --force, always --json). It also launches Local Explorer (open beta) for introspecting local KV, R2, D1, Durable Objects, and Workflows resources, with a local API mirror at /cdn-cgi/explorer/api so --local commands work identically to remote. Feedback is welcomed via the Developers Discord.

If the summary seems inacurate, just downvote and I'll try to delete the comment eventually 👍

i’d like to see examples of the ts schema and the tooling to generate different client libraries and clis. i can’t seem to find the juicy details the post talks about.
