Amazon Q CLI has become Kiro CLI (docs.aws.amazon.com)

Amazon’s Q CLI has been renamed and is now distributed as the Kiro CLI. The official Kiro User Guide is the primary reference for details and migration instructions; users should consult it (and any linked release notes) to confirm whether this is a straight rebrand or includes behavioral, flag, or API changes. Expect immediate practical impacts such as updated binary names, package names, and documentation links — which means existing scripts, CI/CD pipelines, PATH entries, package manager references, and aliases that call the old “q” binary may need to be updated or shimmed. For the AI/ML community that uses command-line tooling to prepare data, run model training, manage experiment metadata, or deploy models, the rename is significant because CLI rename/changes can silently break automation and reproducibility. Action items: install the Kiro CLI and verify its version and compatibility with your workflows, grep for “q” references in repos and pipelines, update scripts or add wrappers to maintain backward compatibility, and read the user guide for any new or changed flags, auth flows, or config locations. If documentation won’t render due to JavaScript disabled in your browser, enable JS or use an alternative browser to access the full migration guidance.
