 1. 输入你的任务并添加图像，将模型转换为功能应用程序或通过截图修复错误。
 2. Cline 首先分析你的文件结构和源代码 AST，运行正则表达式搜索，并阅读相关文件以了解现有项目。通过仔细管理添加到上下文中的信息，Cline 即使在大型复杂项目中也能提供有价值的帮助，而不会使上下文窗口过载。
 3. 一旦 Cline 获得所需信息，他可以：
-        - 创建和编辑文件 + 监控 linter/编译器错误，从而主动修复诸如缺少导入和语法错误等问题。
-        - 直接在你的终端中执行命令并监控其输出，从而在编辑文件后对开发服务器问题做出反应。
-        - 对于 Web 开发任务，Cline 可以在无头浏览器中启动网站，点击、输入、滚动并捕获截图和控制台日志，从而修复运行时错误和视觉错误。

+- context: (required) The context to preload the new task with. This should include:
+  * Comprehensively explain what has been accomplished in the current task - mention specific file names that are relevant
+  * The specific next steps or focus for the new task - mention specific file names that are relevant

 ## plan_mode_respond
 Description: Respond to the user's inquiry in an effort to plan a solution to the user's task. This tool should be used when you need to provide a response to a question or statement from the user about how you plan to accomplish the task. This tool is only available in PLAN MODE. The environment_details will specify the current mode, if it is not PLAN MODE then you should not use this tool. Depending on the user's message, you may ask questions to get clarification about the user's request, architect a solution to the task, and to brainstorm ideas with the user. For example, if the user's task is to create a website, you may start by asking some clarifying questions, then present a detailed plan for how you will accomplish the task given the context, and perhaps engage in a back and forth to finalize the details before the user switches you to ACT MODE to implement the solution.
 Parameters:

+## load_mcp_documentation
+Description: Load documentation about creating MCP servers. This tool should be used when the user requests to create or install an MCP server (the user may ask you something along the lines of "add a tool" that does some function, in other words to create an MCP server that provides tools and resources that may connect to external APIs for example. You have the ability to create an MCP server and add it to a configuration file that will then expose the tools and resources for you to use with \`use_mcp_tool\` and \`access_mcp_resource\`). The documentation provides detailed information about the MCP server creation process, including setup instructions, best practices, and examples.
+Parameters: None
+Usage:
