+# Cline Hooks Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Cline hooks allow you to execute custom scripts at specific points in the agentic workflow. Hooks are placed in the `.clinerules/hooks/` directory and run automatically when enabled.
+
+## Enabling Hooks
+
+1. Open Cline settings in VSCode
+2. Navigate to the Feature Settings section
+3. Check the "Enable Hooks" checkbox
+4. Hooks must be executable files (on Unix/Linux/macOS use `chmod +x hookname`)
+
+## Available Hooks
+
+### PreToolUse Hook
+- **When**: Runs BEFORE a tool is executed
+- **Purpose**: Validate parameters, block execution, or add context
+- **File**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse` (Unix/Linux/macOS) or `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse.bat/.cmd/.exe` (Windows)
+
+### PostToolUse Hook
+- **When**: Runs AFTER a tool completes
+- **Purpose**: Observe results, track patterns, or add context
+- **File**: `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse` (Unix/Linux/macOS) or `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse.bat/.cmd/.exe` (Windows)
+
+## Platform-Specific Guidance
+
+### Windows Hooks
+
+Windows hooks use different file extensions and syntax than Unix hooks. Cline automatically searches for hooks using your system's `PATHEXT` environment variable (typically `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.JS;.WSF;.MSC`).
+
+**Recommended approach for Windows:**
+- Use `.cmd` or `.bat` batch files (most compatible)
+- See `PreToolUse.example.cmd` and `PostToolUse.example.cmd` for simple examples
+- See `PreToolUse.advanced.example.cmd` for PowerShell-based JSON parsing
+
+**Simple Windows Hook Example:**
+```batch
+@echo off
+REM Always allow execution with context
+echo {"shouldContinue": true, "contextModification": "WORKSPACE_RULES: TypeScript project"}
+```
+
+**Advanced Windows Hook with Input Parsing:**
+```batch
+@echo off
+setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
+
+REM Read stdin using PowerShell
+for /f "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`powershell -Command "[Console]::In.ReadToEnd()"`) do set "INPUT=%%i"
+
+REM Parse and process JSON
+powershell -Command ^
+  "$json = '%INPUT%' | ConvertFrom-Json; ^
+   $output = @{shouldContinue = $true}; ^
+   $output | ConvertTo-Json -Compress"
+```
+
+**Tips for Windows:**
+- Batch files don't require `chmod +x` - they're executable by default
+- Use `REM` for comments instead of `#`
+- PowerShell is available on all modern Windows systems
+- For complex logic, consider PowerShell scripts (`.ps1`) or compiled executables (`.exe`)
+
+### Unix/Linux/macOS Hooks
+
+Unix hooks are shell scripts without file extensions:
+- Must be executable: `chmod +x PreToolUse`
+- Must include shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env node`
+- See `PreToolUse.example` and `PostToolUse.example` for bash examples
+
+## Context Injection Timing
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Context injected by hooks affects **FUTURE AI decisions**, not the current tool execution.
+
+### Why This Matters
+
+When a hook runs:
+1. The AI has already decided what tool to use and with what parameters
+2. The hook cannot modify those parameters
+3. Context from the hook is added to the conversation
+4. The AI sees this context in the **NEXT API request** and can adjust future decisions
+
+### PreToolUse Hook Flow
+```
+1. AI decides: "I'll use write_to_file with these parameters"
+2. PreToolUse hook runs → can block or add context
+3. If allowed, tool executes with original parameters
+4. Context is added to conversation
+5. Next API request includes this context
+6. AI adjusts future decisions based on context
+```
+
+### PostToolUse Hook Flow
+```
+1. Tool completes execution
+2. PostToolUse hook runs → observes results
+3. Hook adds context about the outcome
+4. Context is added to conversation
+5. Next API request includes this context
+6. AI can learn from the results
+```
+
+## Hook Input/Output
+
+### Input (via stdin as JSON)
+
+All hooks receive:
+```json
+{
+  "clineVersion": "string",
+  "hookName": "PreToolUse" | "PostToolUse",
+  "timestamp": "string",
+  "taskId": "string",
+  "workspaceRoots": ["string"],
+  "userId": "string",
+  "preToolUse": {  // Only for PreToolUse
+    "toolName": "string",
+    "parameters": {}
+  },
+  "postToolUse": {  // Only for PostToolUse
+    "toolName": "string",
+    "parameters": {},
+    "result": "string",
+    "success": boolean,
+    "executionTimeMs": number
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Output (via stdout as JSON)
+
+All hooks must return:
+```json
+{
+  "shouldContinue": boolean,           // Required: Allow or block execution
+  "contextModification": "string",      // Optional: Context for future tool uses
+  "errorMessage": "string"             // Optional: Error details if blocking
+}
+```
+
+## Context Modification Format
+
+Use structured prefixes to help the AI understand context type:
+
+- `WORKSPACE_RULES:` - Project conventions and requirements
+- `FILE_OPERATIONS:` - File creation/modification patterns
+- `TOOL_RESULT:` - Outcomes of tool executions
+- `PERFORMANCE:` - Performance concerns
+- `VALIDATION:` - Validation results
+- Custom prefixes as needed
+
+Example:
+```bash
+cat <<EOF
+{
+  "shouldContinue": true,
+  "contextModification": "WORKSPACE_RULES: This is a TypeScript project. All new files must use .ts or .tsx extensions."
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+## Hook Execution Limits
+
+- **Timeout**: Hooks must complete within 30 seconds
+- **Context Size**: Context modifications are limited to 50KB
+- **Error Handling**: Unexpected file system errors are propagated; expected errors (file not found, permission denied) are handled silently
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+### 1. Validation - Block Invalid Operations
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.toolName')
+path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.parameters.path // ""')
+
+if [[ "$tool_name" == "write_to_file" && "$path" == *.js ]]; then
+  cat <<EOF
+{
+  "shouldContinue": false,
+  "errorMessage": "Cannot create .js files in TypeScript project",
+  "contextModification": "WORKSPACE_RULES: Use .ts/.tsx extensions only"
+}
+EOF
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"shouldContinue": true}'
+```
+
+### 2. Context Building - Learn from Operations
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.toolName')
+success=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.success')
+path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.parameters.path // ""')
+
+if [[ "$tool_name" == "write_to_file" && "$success" == "true" ]]; then
+  cat <<EOF
+{
+  "shouldContinue": true,
+  "contextModification": "FILE_OPERATIONS: Created '$path'. Maintain consistency with this file's patterns in future operations."
+}
+EOF
+else
+  echo '{"shouldContinue": true}'
+fi
+```
+
+### 3. Performance Monitoring
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+execution_time=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.executionTimeMs')
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.toolName')
+
+if [[ "$execution_time" -gt 5000 ]]; then
+  cat <<EOF
+{
+  "shouldContinue": true,
+  "contextModification": "PERFORMANCE: Tool '$tool_name' took ${execution_time}ms. Consider optimizing future similar operations."
+}
+EOF
+else
+  echo '{"shouldContinue": true}'
+fi
+```
+
+### 4. Logging and Telemetry
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+
+# Log to file
+echo "$input" >> ~/.cline/hook-logs/tool-usage.jsonl
+
+# Allow execution
+echo '{"shouldContinue": true}'
+```
+
+## Multi-Root Workspaces
+
+If you have multiple workspace roots, you can place hooks in each root's `.clinerules/hooks/` directory. All hooks will run and their results will be combined:
+
+- **shouldContinue**: If ANY hook returns false, execution is blocked
+- **contextModification**: All context modifications are concatenated
+- **errorMessage**: All error messages are concatenated
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Hook Not Running
+- Ensure the "Enable Hooks" setting is checked
+- Verify the hook file is executable (`chmod +x hookname`)
+- Check the hook file has no syntax errors
+- Look for errors in VSCode's Output panel (Cline channel)
+
+### Hook Timing Out
+- Reduce complexity of the hook script
+- Avoid expensive operations (network calls, heavy computations)
+- Consider moving complex logic to a background process
+
+### Context Not Affecting Behavior
+- Remember: context affects FUTURE decisions, not the current tool
+- Use PreToolUse for validation (blocking) if you need immediate effect
+- Ensure context modifications are clear and actionable
+- Check that context isn't being truncated (50KB limit)
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+- Hooks run with the same permissions as VSCode
+- Be cautious with hooks from untrusted sources
+- Review hook scripts before enabling them
+- Consider using `.gitignore` to avoid committing sensitive hook logic
+- Hooks can access all workspace files and environment variables
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep hooks fast** - Aim for <100ms execution time
+2. **Make context actionable** - Be specific about what the AI should do
+3. **Use structured prefixes** - Help the AI categorize context
+4. **Handle errors gracefully** - Always return valid JSON
+5. **Log for debugging** - Keep logs of hook executions for troubleshooting
+6. **Test incrementally** - Start with simple hooks and add complexity
+7. **Document your hooks** - Add comments explaining the purpose and logic

+title: "Multiroot Workspace Support"
+sidebarTitle: "Multiroot Workspace"
+---
+
+Cline's Multiroot feature works seamlessly with VSCode's multi-root workspaces, letting you manage multiple project folders in a single workspace.
+
+<Note>
+**Important:** Multi-root workspaces are currently an experimental feature and have the following limitations:
+- **Cline rules** only work in the first workspace folder
+- **Checkpoints** are automatically disabled with a warning message
+- Both features are restored when you return to a single-folder workspace
+</Note>
+
+## What is multiroot workspace support?
+
+Instead of being limited to one project folder, Cline can read files, write code, and run commands across all folders in your VSCode workspace. This is helpful when working with monorepos, microservices, or when you're working on related projects simultaneously.
+
+### How it works
+
+When you open multiple workspace folders in VSCode, Cline automatically:
+- Designates one folder as the **primary workspace** (typically the first folder added)
+- Tracks all workspace folders and their paths
+- Resolves file paths intelligently across workspaces
+- Displays workspace information in the environment details for each API request
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Setting Up Multi-Root Workspaces
+
+1. **Add folders to your workspace:**
+   - Use `File > Add Folder to Workspace` in VSCode
+   - Or create a `.code-workspace` file with multiple folder paths
+   - Drag and drop folders to the File Explorer
+   - Select multiple folders when opening a new workspace
+
+2. **Start using Cline** - Cline will automatically detect all your workspace folders and interact with them as needed.
+
+For detailed instructions on setting up multi-root workspaces in VS Code, see [Microsoft's official guide](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/workspaces/multi-root-workspaces).
+
+### Technical behavior
+
+**Workspace detection**
+- Cline detects all workspace folders when a task starts
+- The first workspace folder becomes the primary workspace by default
+- Each workspace can have its own VCS (Git, SVN, etc.)
+
+**Path resolution**
+- Relative paths are resolved relative to the primary workspace
+- You can use workspace hints to target specific workspaces: `@workspaceName:path/to/file`
+- Cline attempts to intelligently determine which workspace a file belongs to
+
+**Command execution**
+- Commands execute in the appropriate workspace context
+- The working directory is set based on where files are being accessed
+
+## Working across workspaces
+
+### Referencing specific workspaces
+
+You can reference different workspaces naturally in your prompts:
+
+```
+"Read the package.json in my frontend folder and compare it with the backend dependencies"
+```
+
+```
+"Create a shared utility function and update both the client and server to use it"
+```
+
+```
+"Search for TODO comments across all my workspace folders"
+```
+
+### Workspace hints
+
+Use workspace hints to explicitly reference files in specific workspaces:
+
+```
+@frontend:src/App.tsx
+@backend:server.ts
+```
+
+This syntax helps Cline resolve ambiguity when multiple workspaces contain similarly named files.
+
+
+## Common use cases
+
+### Monorepo Development
+
+Perfect for when you have related projects in one repository:
+
+```
+my-app.code-workspace
+├── web/          (React frontend)
+├── api/          (Node.js backend)
+├── mobile/       (React Native)
+└── shared/       (Common utilities)
+```
+
+Ask Cline: *"Update the API endpoint in both web and mobile apps to match the new backend route"*
+
+### Microservices Architecture
+
+Manage multiple services from one workspace:
+
+```
+services.code-workspace
+├── user-service/
+├── payment-service/  
+├── notifications/
+└── infrastructure/
+```
+
+### Full-Stack Development
+
+Keep everything together while maintaining separation:
+
+```
+fullstack.code-workspace
+├── client/       (Frontend)
+├── server/       (Backend API)
+├── docs/         (Documentation)  
+└── deploy/       (Scripts & config)
+```
+
+
+### Auto-Approve Integration
+
+Multiroot workspaces work with [Auto Approve](/features/auto-approve):
+
+- Enable permissions for operations within workspace folders
+- Restrict auto-approve for files outside your workspace(s)
+- Configure different levels for different workspace folders
+
+### Cross-Workspace Operations
+
+Cline can complete tasks spanning multiple workspaces:
+
+- **Refactoring**: Update imports and references across projects
+- **Feature development**: Implement features requiring changes in multiple services  
+- **Documentation**: Generate docs referencing code from multiple folders
+- **Testing**: Build & run tests across all workspaces and analyze results
+
+When working with large multiroot workspaces, start in [Plan mode](/features/plan-and-act) to let Cline understand your project structure before making changes.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Organizing Your Workspaces
+
+1. **Group related projects** that often need coordinated changes
+2. **Use consistent folder structures** across workspaces when possible
+3. **Name folders clearly** so Cline can understand your project structure
+
+### Effective Prompting & Tips
+
+When working with multiroot workspaces, these approaches work best:
+
+- **Be specific** about which workspace when it matters: *"Update the user model in the backend workspace"*
+- **Reference relationships**: *"The frontend uses the API types from the shared workspace"*
+- **Describe cross-workspace operations**: *"This change needs to be reflected in both the web and mobile apps"*
+- **Scope your searches** when dealing with large codebases: *"Search for 'TODO' in just the frontend workspace"*
+- **Break down large tasks** into workspace-specific operations when possible
+- **Consider excluding large folders** like `node_modules` from your workspace search Scope
