Tell us what you are trying to do?
I would like to author a plugin that uses an "address book" CPT with a number of fields; the plugin will NOT use views but will do "proprietary stuff" based on the given data. I recall that there was a design-time/runtime paradigm to Toolset that allowed us to quickly prototype CPT fields and include them in our own plugins using a "stub redistributable"; is this ability discontinued/not possible?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Only finding old forum posts regarding plugin authors and theme designers that used to use this feature.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Earlier, it was possible to use the 'Toolset based themes' feature to package the Toolset plugins and settings all inside a single theme package, but, it is no longer supported.

I'm afraid, there is no official API available to register the Toolset Types fields programmatically either, so I'm afraid, you'll have to look for alternatives, for this requirement.

regards,
Waqar
