+# Cline Hooks Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+Cline hooks allow you to execute custom scripts at specific points in the agentic workflow. Hooks can be placed in either:
+- **Global hooks directory**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/` (applies to all workspaces)
+- **Workspace hooks directory**: `.clinerules/hooks/` (applies to the workspace the repo is part of)
+
+Hooks 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
+
+### TaskStart Hook
+- **When**: Runs when a NEW task is started (not when resuming)
+- **Purpose**: Initialize task context, validate task requirements, set up environment
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskStart`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskStart`
+
+### TaskResume Hook
+- **When**: Runs when an EXISTING task is resumed (after user clicks resume button)
+- **Purpose**: Validate resumed task state, restore context, check for changes since last run
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskResume`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskResume`
+
+### TaskCancel Hook
+- **When**: Runs when a task is cancelled or a hook is aborted by the user (only if there's actual active work or work was started)
+- **Purpose**: Clean up resources, log cancellation, save state
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskCancel`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskCancel`
+- **Note**: This hook is NOT cancellable
+
+### TaskComplete Hook (coming soon!)
+- **When**: Runs when a task is marked as complete
+- **Purpose**: Log completion status, perform final cleanup, generate reports
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskComplete`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskComplete`
+
+### UserPromptSubmit Hook
+- **When**: Runs when the user submits a prompt/message (initial task, resume, or feedback)
+- **Purpose**: Validate user input, preprocess prompts, add context to user messages
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/UserPromptSubmit`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/UserPromptSubmit`
+
+### PreToolUse Hook
+- **When**: Runs BEFORE a tool is executed
+- **Purpose**: Validate parameters, block execution, or add context
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse`
+
+### PostToolUse Hook
+- **When**: Runs AFTER a tool completes
+- **Purpose**: Observe results, track patterns, or add context
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PostToolUse`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse`
+
+### PreCompact Hook (coming soon!)
+- **When**: Runs BEFORE the conversation context is compacted/truncated
+- **Purpose**: Observe compaction events, log context management, track token usage
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreCompact`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreCompact`
+
+## Cross-Platform Hook Format
+
+Cline uses a git-style approach for hooks that works consistently across all platforms:
+
+### Hook Files (All Platforms)
+- **No file extensions**: Hooks are named exactly `PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` (no `.bat`, `.cmd`, `.sh` etc.)
+- **Shebang required**: First line must be a shebang (e.g., `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env node`)
+- **Executable on Unix**: On Unix/Linux/macOS, hooks must be executable: `chmod +x PreToolUse`
+- **Windows**: Not currently supported.
+
+### How It Works
+
+Like git hooks, Cline executes hook files through a shell that interprets the shebang line:
+- On Unix/Linux/macOS: Native shell execution with shebang support
+
+This means:
+- ✅ Same hook script works on all platforms
+- ✅ Write once, run anywhere
+- ✅ Use any scripting language (bash, node, python, etc.)
+
+### Creating Hooks
+
+**On Unix/Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+# Create hook file
+nano ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+
+# Make executable
+chmod +x ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+```
+
+## 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": "TaskStart" | "TaskResume" | "TaskCancel" | "TaskComplete" | "UserPromptSubmit" | "PreToolUse" | "PostToolUse" | "PreCompact",
+  "timestamp": "string",
+  "taskId": "string",
+  "workspaceRoots": ["string"],
+  "userId": "string",
+  "taskStart": {  // Only for TaskStart
+    "taskMetadata": {
+      "taskId": "string",
+      "ulid": "string",
+      "initialTask": "string"
+    }
+  },
+  "taskResume": {  // Only for TaskResume
+    "taskMetadata": {
+      "taskId": "string",
+      "ulid": "string"
+    },
+    "previousState": {
+      "lastMessageTs": "string",
+      "messageCount": "string",
+      "conversationHistoryDeleted": "string"
+    }
+  },
+  "taskCancel": {  // Only for TaskCancel
+    "taskMetadata": {
+      "taskId": "string",
+      "ulid": "string",
+      "completionStatus": "string"
+    }
+  },
+  "taskComplete": {  // Only for TaskComplete
+    "taskMetadata": {
+      "taskId": "string",
+      "ulid": "string"
+    }
+  },
+  "userPromptSubmit": {  // Only for UserPromptSubmit
+    "prompt": "string",
+    "attachments": ["string"]
+  },
+  "preToolUse": {  // Only for PreToolUse
+    "toolName": "string",
+    "parameters": {}
+  },
+  "postToolUse": {  // Only for PostToolUse
+    "toolName": "string",
+    "parameters": {},
+    "result": "string",
+    "success": boolean,
+    "executionTimeMs": number
+  },
+  "preCompact": {  // Only for PreCompact
+    "contextSize": number,
+    "messagesToCompact": number,
+    "compactionStrategy": "string"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Output (via stdout as JSON)
+
+All hooks must return:
+```json
+{
+  "cancel": boolean,                   // Required: false to continue, true to block execution
+  "contextModification": "string",     // Optional: Context for future AI decisions
+  "errorMessage": "string"             // Optional: Error details if blocking
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: The `cancel` field works as follows:
+- `false` (or omitted): Allow execution to continue
+- `true`: Block execution and show error message to user
+
+## Hook Execution Limits
+
+- **Timeout**: Hooks must complete within 30 seconds (configurable via `HOOK_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_MS`)
+- **Context Size**: Context modifications are limited to 50KB (configurable via `MAX_CONTEXT_MODIFICATION_SIZE`)
+- **Error Handling**: Expected errors (file not found, permission denied, not a directory) are handled silently; unexpected file system errors are propagated
+
+## 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" && "$path" == *.js ]]; then
+  cat <<EOF
+{
+  "cancel": true,
+  "errorMessage": "Cannot create .js files in TypeScript project",
+  "contextModification": "Use .ts/.tsx extensions only"
+}
+EOF
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+### 2. Context Building - Learn from Operations
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(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
+{
+  "cancel": false,
+  "contextModification": "Created '$path'. Maintain consistency with this file's patterns in future operations."
+}
+EOF
+else
+  echo '{"cancel": false}'
+fi
+```
+
+### 3. Performance Monitoring
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+execution_time=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.executionTimeMs')
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.postToolUse.toolName')
+
+if [[ "$execution_time" -gt 5000 ]]; then
+  cat <<EOF
+{
+  "cancel": false,
+  "contextModification": "Tool '$tool_name' took ${execution_time}ms. Consider optimizing future similar operations."
+}
+EOF
+else
+  echo '{"cancel": false}'
+fi
+```
+
+### 4. Logging and Telemetry
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+input=$(cat)
+
+# Log to file
+echo "$input" >> ~/.cline/hook-logs/tool-usage.jsonl
+
+# Allow execution
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+## Global vs Workspace Hooks
+
+Cline supports two levels of hooks:
+
+### Global Hooks
+- **Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/` (macOS/Linux)
+- **Scope**: Apply to ALL workspaces and projects
+- **Use Case**: Organization-wide policies, personal preferences, universal validations
+- **Priority**: Order not guaranteed when combined with workspace hooks
+
+### Workspace Hooks
+- **Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/` in each workspace root
+- **Scope**: Apply only to the specific workspace
+- **Use Case**: Project-specific rules, team conventions, repository requirements
+- **Priority**: Order not guaranteed when combined with global hooks
+
+### Hook Execution
+
+When multiple hooks exist (global and/or workspace):
+- All hooks for a given step are executed **concurrently** using `Promise.all`
+- **Execution order is not guaranteed** - hooks run in parallel
+- If ALL hooks allow execution (`cancel: false`), the tool proceeds
+- If ANY hook blocks (`cancel: true`), execution is blocked
+
+**Result Combination:**
+- `cancel`: If ANY hook returns `true`, execution is blocked
+- `contextModification`: All context strings are concatenated with double newlines (`\n\n`)
+- `errorMessage`: All error messages are concatenated with single newlines (`\n`)
+
+### Setting Up Global Hooks
+
+1. The global hooks directory is automatically created at:
+   - macOS/Linux: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/`
+
+2. Add your hook script:
+   ```bash
+   # Unix/Linux/macOS
+   nano ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+   chmod +x ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+   ```
+
+3. Enable hooks in Cline settings
+
+### Example: Global + Workspace Hooks
+
+**Global Hook** (applies to all projects):
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+# Universal rule: Never delete package.json
+input=$(cat)
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.toolName')
+path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.parameters.path // ""')
+
+if [[ "$tool_name" == "write_to_file" && "$path" == *"package.json"* ]]; then
+  echo '{"cancel": true, "errorMessage": "Global policy: Cannot modify package.json"}'
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+**Workspace Hook** (applies to specific project):
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# .clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse
+# Project rule: Only TypeScript files
+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
+  echo '{"cancel": true, "errorMessage": "Project rule: Use .ts files only"}'
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+**All hooks must allow execution for the tool to proceed.** Hooks may execute concurrently.
+
+## Multi-Root Workspaces
+
+If you have multiple workspace roots, you can place hooks in each root's `.clinerules/hooks/` directory. All hooks (global and workspace) may execute concurrently. Their results will be combined:
+
+- **cancel**: If ANY hook returns `true`, execution is blocked
+- **contextModification**: All context modifications are concatenated
+- **errorMessage**: All error messages are concatenated
+
+**Note:** No execution order is guaranteed between hooks from different directories.
+
+## 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
+- 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

+# Cline Protobuf Development Guide
+
+This guide outlines how to add new gRPC endpoints for communication between the webview (frontend) and the extension host (backend).
+
+## Overview
+
+Cline uses [Protobuf](https://protobuf.dev/) to define a strongly-typed API, ensuring efficient and type-safe communication. All definitions are in the `/proto` directory. The compiler and plugins are included as project dependencies, so no manual installation is needed.
+
+## Key Concepts & Best Practices
+
+-   **File Structure**: Each feature domain should have its own `.proto` file (e.g., `account.proto`, `task.proto`).
+-   **Message Design**:
+    -   For simple, single-value data, use the shared types in `proto/common.proto` (e.g., `StringRequest`, `Empty`, `Int64Request`). This promotes consistency.
+    -   For complex data structures, define custom messages within the feature's `.proto` file (see `task.proto` for examples like `NewTaskRequest`).
+-   **Naming Conventions**:
+    -   Services: `PascalCaseService` (e.g., `AccountService`).
+    -   RPCs: `camelCase` (e.g., `accountEmailIdentified`).
+    -   Messages: `PascalCase` (e.g., `StringRequest`).
+-   **Streaming**: For server-to-client streaming, use the `stream` keyword on the response type. See `subscribeToAuthCallback` in `account.proto` for an example.
+
+---
+
+## 4-Step Development Workflow
+
+Here’s how to add a new RPC, using `scrollToSettings` as an example.
+
+### 1. Define the RPC in a `.proto` File
+
+Add your service method to the appropriate file in the `proto/` directory.
+
+**File: `proto/ui.proto`**
+```proto
+service UiService {
+  // ... other RPCs
+  // Scrolls to a specific settings section in the settings view
+  rpc scrollToSettings(StringRequest) returns (KeyValuePair);
+}
+```
+Here, we use the common `StringRequest` and `KeyValuePair` types.
+
+### 2. Compile Definitions
+
+After editing a `.proto` file, regenerate the TypeScript code. From the project root, run:
+```bash
+npm run protos
+```
+This command compiles all `.proto` files and outputs the generated code to `src/generated/` and `src/shared/`. Do not edit these generated files manually.
+
+### 3. Implement the Backend Handler
+
+Create the RPC implementation in the backend. Handlers are located in `src/core/controller/[service-name]/`.
+
+**File: `src/core/controller/ui/scrollToSettings.ts`**
+```typescript
+import { Controller } from ".."
+import { StringRequest, KeyValuePair } from "../../../shared/proto/common"
+
+/**
+ * Executes a scroll to settings action
+ * @param controller The controller instance
+ * @param request The request containing the ID of the settings section to scroll to
+ * @returns KeyValuePair with action and value fields for the UI to process
+ */
+export async function scrollToSettings(controller: Controller, request: StringRequest): Promise<KeyValuePair> {
+	return KeyValuePair.create({
+		key: "scrollToSettings",
+		value: request.value || "",
+	})
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Call the RPC from the Webview
+
+Call the new RPC from a React component in `webview-ui/`. The generated client makes this simple.
+
+**File: `webview-ui/src/components/browser/BrowserSettingsMenu.tsx`** (Example)
+```tsx
+import { UiServiceClient } from "../../../services/grpc"
+import { StringRequest } from "../../../../shared/proto/common"
+
+// ... inside a React component
+const handleMenuClick = async () => {
+    try {
+        await UiServiceClient.scrollToSettings(StringRequest.create({ value: "browser" }))
+    } catch (error) {
+        console.error("Error scrolling to browser settings:", error)
+    }
+}
+```

+
+## Step 2: Silent, Structured Analysis Phase
+- Analyze all git output without providing commentary or narration
+- Read the full diff to understand the scope and nature of changes
+- Identify patterns, architectural modifications, or potential impacts
+- Use `read_file` to examine any related files providing additional context on the changes you have observed
+
+## Step 3: Context Gathering
+- Analyze related code without providing commentary or narration
+- Read relevant related source files if needed for complete understanding
+- Check dependencies, imports, or cross-references spanning the changes
+- Understand the broader codebase context around modifications
+- This additional context gathering should include related backend code, as well as related ui/frontend code
+- You will typically need to analyze at least several files, potentially many, in order to fully complete this step
+- You should not continue reading additional context if you have exhausted more than 60% of your available context window
+- If you have exhausted less than 40% of your context window, you should continue reviewing additional context
+
+## Step 4: Ready for User Interaction
+**Only after completing the full analysis:**
+- Engage with the user based on comprehensive understanding
+- Provide insights about specific modifications and their impacts
+- If you are certain they exist, note potential breaking changes or compatibility issues
+- Answer questions with informed context from the complete change set and context gathering
+- If the user has not provided a question, or the question is insufficient to provide a quality response, ask brief (one sentence) clarifying questions.
+- Only offer recommendations if they are applicable to the user's request and relevant to the changes that you have observed 
+
+## Key Rules
+- **No prose or conversation during git research phase**
+- **No prose or conversation during context gathering phase**
+- **Complete all analysis before any user interaction**
+- **Use gathered information for all subsequent questions and insights**
+- **Focus on understanding the complete picture before discussing**
+
+## Optional: Additional Analysis Commands
+For deeper investigation when needed:
+
+```shell
+# Detailed commit history with author info
+git log main..HEAD --format="%h %s (%an)" | cat
+
+# Change statistics
+git diff main --stat | cat
+
+# Specific file type changes
+git diff main --name-only | grep -E '\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx|py|md)$' | cat

+# General writing guide
+
+# How I want you to write 
+
+I'm gonna write something technical.
+
+It's often less about the nitty-gritty details of the tech stuff and more about learning something new or getting a solution handed to me on a silver platter.
+
+Look, when I read, I want something out of it. So when I write, I gotta remember that my readers want something too. This whole piece? It's about cluing in anyone who writes for me, or wants me to write for them, on how I see this whole writing product thing.
+
+I'm gonna lay out a checklist of stuff I'd like to have. It'll make the whole writing gig a bit smoother, you know?
+
+## Crafting Compelling Titles
+
+I often come across titles like "How to do X with Y,Z technology." These don't excite me because X or Y are usually unfamiliar unless they're already well-known. Its rarely the dream to use X unless X is the dream. 
+
+My dream isn’t to use instructor, its to do something valueble with the data it extracts
+
+An effective title should:
+
+- Evoke an emotional response
+- Highlight someone's goal
+- Offer a dream or aspiration
+- Challenge or comment on a belief
+- Address someone's problems
+
+I believe it's more impactful to write about specific problems. If this approach works, you can replicate it across various scenarios rather than staying too general.
+
+- Time management for everyone can be a 15$ ebook
+- Time management for executives is a 2000$ workshop
+
+Aim for titles that answer questions you think everyone is asking, or address thoughts people have but can't quite articulate.
+
+Instead of "How I do something" or "How to do something," frame it from the reader's perspective with "How you can do something." This makes the title more engaging. Just make sure the difference is advisory if the content is subjective. “How I made a million dollars” might be more reasonable than “How to make a million dollars” since you are the subject and the goal might be to share your story in hopes of helping others.
+
+This approach ultimately trains the reader to have a stronger emotional connection to your content.
+
+- "How I do X"
+- "How You Can do X"
+
+Between these two titles, it's obvious which one resonates more emotionally.
+
+You can take it further by adding specific conditions. For instance, you could target a particular audience or set a timeframe:
+
+- How to set up Braintrust
+- How to set up Braintrust in 5 minutes
+
+## NO adjectiives
+
+I want you to almost always avoid adjectives and try to use evidence instead. Instead of saying "production ready," you can write something like "scaling this to 100 servers or 1 million documents per second." Numbers like that will tell you exactly what the specificity of your product is. If you have to use adjectives rather than evidence, you are probably making something up. 
+
+There's no reason to say something like "blazingly fast" unless those things are already known phrases.
+
+Instead, say "200 times faster" or "30% faster." A 30% improvement in recommendation system speed is insane.
+
+There's a 200 times performance improvement because we went from one programming language to another. It's just something that's a little bit more expected and understandable.
+
+Another test that I really like using recently is tracking whether or not the statements you make can be:
+
+- Visualized
+- Proven false
+- Said only by you
+
+If you can nail all three, the claim you make will be more likely to resonate with an audience because only you can say it.
+
+Earlier this year, I had an example where I embedded all of Wikipedia in 17 minutes with 20 bucks, and it got half a million views. All we posted was a video of me kicking off the job, and then you can see all the log lines go through. You see the number of containers go from 1 out of 50 to 50 out of 50.
+
+It was easy to visualize and could have been proven false by being unreproducible. Lastly, Modal is the only company that could do that in such an effortless way, which made it unique.
+
+## Keep It Digestible 
+    - Aim for 5-minute reads
+    - Write at a Grade 10 reading level
+    - Break up long paragraphs
+    - Use headers and bullet points
+
+## Make It Scannable
+    - Bold key points
+    - Use subheadings every 3-4 paragraphs
+    - Include plenty of white space
+    - Add relevant examples
+
+This structure works whether you're writing a tweet thread or a full blog post. The key is making complex ideas accessible.
+
+# Guide to Writing Cline Documentation
+
+## Some general principles for explaining features
+
+If you're talking about a feature, it's helpful to start with a human-readable explanations that cover what the feature is in simple terms. Skip jargon and explain it like you're talking to someone who's never seen it before. This sets the foundation for everything that follows.
+
+Combine location and usage into one flowing section. Tell users exactly where to find the feature and how to use it, but weave the instructions into natural prose with a good balance of bullet points, numbered lists, code examples (if applicable), mintlify components, and headers/subheaders. Users shouldn't have to jump between separate "where is it" and "how do I use it" sections.
+
+Show the feature in action with real examples like actual files, workflows, or code. Users need to see concrete implementations, not just abstract descriptions. This is where understanding turns into practical knowledge.
+
+When talking about a feature, include an inspiration section that sparks imagination. This section pushes people from understanding to action by showing them what becomes possible when they use this feature creatively. It's what separates good documentation from great documentation.
+
+## Writing Principles That Actually Work
+
+### Write for Action, Not Just Understanding
+
+Documentation should motivate users to try things. Instead of just explaining how something works, focus on what users can accomplish with it. The inspiration section is crucial - it's what transforms passive readers into active users.
+
+### Create a Natural Story Flow
+
+It should feel like a conversation that naturally progresses from "what is this?" to "how do I use it?" to "here's a real example" to "imagine what you could do with this." 
+
+### Show Real Examples, Not Toy Demos
+
+Provide actual workflow files, real code snippets, and concrete implementations that users can copy and adapt. Abstract examples don't help anyone - users want to see exactly what they'll be working with.
+
+### Keep It Scannable But Not Fragmented
+
+Write in prose that flows naturally when read completely, but structure it so users can quickly find specific information when they're troubleshooting. Avoid dense walls of text, but also avoid over-formatting with excessive bullet points and bold headers. There should be a nice visual heirarchy of balance between all elements, so you can quickly scan the page and find what you're looking for.
+
+## Language and Tone Guidelines
+
+Write clearly without dumbing things down. Use simple language when possible, but don't avoid technical terms that users need to know. Explain concepts in terms of what users can achieve rather than how the software works internally.
+
+Make your writing conversational and encouraging. Phrases like "you can also try" or "when that works" feel more natural than rigid instructional language. Help users feel confident about trying new things.
+
+Keep content concise and purposeful. Every sentence should either help users understand something or help them do something. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cut it.
+
+Build in context and reasoning. Users want to understand why they're doing something, not just what to do. This builds confidence and helps them troubleshoot when things don't work exactly as expected.
+
+## Practical Implementation
+
+Structure each feature page consistently with the four-section approach, but let the content flow naturally within that structure. Use visual assets like videos and screenshots to complement the written content - they often communicate more effectively than paragraphs of description.
+
+Link generously to related resources, examples, and deeper documentation. Users should never feel stuck or wonder where to go next. Maintain a repository of real examples that users can reference and adapt to their own needs.
+
+The goal is documentation that feels more like helpful guidance from an experienced colleague than a technical manual. Users should finish reading feeling excited about what they can accomplish, not just informed about what the feature does.
+
+## Balance Structure with Flexibility
+
+While they discuss having consistent documentation structure, there's also mention of making content feel less rigid and more natural. The writing should follow guidelines while still feeling conversational and engaging. 
+
+## Bad examples
+
+I personally hate this pattern of bullet point **Bold Text** colon and then more text:
+<bad_example_of_writing>
+#### macOS
+
+1. **Switch to bash**: Go to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile → Select "bash"
+2. **Disable Oh-My-Zsh temporarily**: If using zsh, try `mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup` and restart VSCode
+3. **Set environment**: Add to your shell config: `export TERM=xterm-256color`
+
+#### Windows
+
+1. **Use PowerShell 7**: Install from Microsoft Store, then select it in Cline settings
+2. **Disable Windows ConPTY**: VSCode Settings → Terminal › Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty → Uncheck
+3. **Try Command Prompt**: Sometimes simpler is better - switch to cmd.exe
+
+#### Linux
+
+1. **Use bash**: Most reliable option - select in Cline settings
+2. **Check permissions**: Ensure VSCode has terminal access permissions
+3. **Disable custom prompts**: Comment out prompt customizations in `.bashrc`
+
+</bad_example_of_writing>
+
+We should instead strive to write beautiful docs that read well. We can use bullet points and numbered lists but it should read naturally and be delightful to look at hierachally when scanning through the doc. There should be a good balance between blocks of text, code snippets, paragraphs, numbered lists, and bullet points. When scanning the documentation visually, you should feel like you're adminiring a tasteful art piece.
+
+<good_example_of_writing>
+#### macOS
+
+The most common fix is switching to bash. Navigate to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile and select "bash" from the dropdown.
+
+If you're still having issues, Oh-My-Zsh might be interfering with terminal integration. Try temporarily disabling it:
+- Run `mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup` 
+- Restart VSCode
+
+You can also add `export TERM=xterm-256color` to your shell configuration file to improve compatibility.
+
+#### Windows
+
+PowerShell 7 provides the most reliable experience. Install it from the Microsoft Store, then select it in your Cline settings.
+
+Still seeing problems? Try these solutions:
+- Disable Windows ConPTY: VSCode Settings → Terminal › Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty → uncheck
+- Switch to Command Prompt (cmd.exe) - sometimes simpler shells work better
+
+#### Linux
+
+Bash is your most dependable option. Select it in Cline settings if you haven't already.
+
+Check these common issues:
+- Ensure VSCode has terminal access permissions
+- Temporarily comment out custom prompt configurations in your `.bashrc`
+</good_example_of_writing>
+
+This is much more natural to read. Writing this way creates a conversational flow, and bullet points are used idiomatically.
+
+# Using Mintlify Components Idiomatically
+
+Mintlify's custom components can transform basic documentation into engaging, scannable content that users actually want to read. Here's how to use them effectively.
+
+## Visual Content with Frames
+
+Videos and images should be wrapped in `<Frame>` components rather than using raw HTML or markdown. This creates consistent styling and proper responsive behavior.
+
+For videos, embed them directly rather than linking externally. Users are much more likely to watch a 30-second demonstration than click through to another platform:
+
+```jsx
+<Frame>
+	<iframe
+		style={{ width: "100%", aspectRatio: "16/9" }}
+		src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/your-video-id"
+		title="Feature demonstration"
+		frameBorder="0"
+		allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share"
+		allowFullScreen
+	/>
+</Frame>
+```
+
+Screenshots work similarly - the frame provides visual polish and consistency:
+
+```jsx
+<Frame>
+	<img src="/path/to/screenshot.png" alt="Descriptive alt text" />
+</Frame>
+```
+
+## Cards for Navigation and Overview
+
+Cards excel at creating scannable overviews that link to detailed documentation. They're perfect for feature listings, getting started guides, or any section where users need to choose their path.
+
+Use the two-column layout for related features:
+
+```jsx
+<Columns cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Feature Name" icon="relevant-icon" href="/link/to/docs">
+    Brief description that explains what this feature does and why someone would use it.
+  </Card>
+  
+  <Card title="Related Feature" icon="another-icon" href="/another/link">
+    Another concise explanation that helps users understand the value proposition.
+  </Card>
+</Columns>
+```
+
+The key is writing card descriptions that are informative enough to help users decide whether to click through, but concise enough to scan quickly. Each card should answer "what does this do?" and "why would I need this?"
+
+## Tips and Notes for Context
+
+Use `<Tip>` components for helpful information that enhances the main content without cluttering it:
+
+```jsx
+<Tip>
+	Pro tip: You can combine multiple @ mentions in a single message to give Cline 
+	comprehensive context about your issue.
+</Tip>
+```
+
+`<Note>` components work well for important caveats or technical limitations:
+
+```jsx
+<Note>
+	Due to VS Code limitations, some features require specific settings to work properly.
+</Note>
+```
+
+`<Info>` is also cool:
+
+<Info>
+	**Quick Fix**: If you're experiencing terminal issues, try switching to a simpler shell like `bash` in the Cline settings.
+	This resolves 90% of terminal integration problems.
+</Info>
+
+**Never** fall into that awful **Bold Text** - description pattern that we specifically identified as bad writing. The content should flow naturally as connected thoughts rather than feeling like a templated AI response with forced formatting.
+
+
+## When to Use Bullet Points and Numbered Lists Strategically
+
+Bullet points serve functional purposes - use them for:
+
+**Sequential actions or troubleshooting steps** where users need to follow a specific order:
+1. Install the extension
+2. Restart VSCode  
+3. Check the settings panel
+
+**Lists of related options** where users need to choose one approach:
+- Try PowerShell 7 for the most reliable experience
+- Switch to Command Prompt if you're still having issues
+- Use WSL Bash for Linux compatibility
+
+**Quick reference items** that users might need to scan quickly when problem-solving.
+
+**Improving Visual Hierarchy** when there's a wall of text - that's a good time to introduce bullet points or numbered lists.
+
+Each bulleted item or numbered list should be a discrete action or piece of information that benefits from being visually separated. This is a key weapon you can employ when going for that artwork experience I mentioned earlier. 
+
+<good_example_of_bullet_points>
+## Finding and Configuring Terminal Settings
+
+You can access Cline's terminal settings by clicking the settings icon in the Cline sidebar, then navigating to the Terminal section. These settings control how Cline interacts with your system's terminal.
+
+- The **Default Terminal Profile** setting determines which shell Cline uses for executing commands. If you're experiencing issues, this is usually the first thing to change. I personally keep this set to `bash` on all my systems because it's the most reliable option, even though I use `zsh` for my regular terminal work.
+
+- **Shell Integration Timeout** controls how long Cline waits for the terminal to become ready. The default is 4 seconds, but if you have a heavy shell configuration (lots of plugins, slow startup scripts), you might need to increase this to 10 or even 15 seconds. I've found that WSL environments and SSH connections often need longer timeouts.
+
+- The **Enable Aggressive Terminal Reuse** setting determines whether Cline tries to reuse existing terminals even when they're not in the correct directory. When this causes problems (commands running in the wrong directory, virtual environment issues), disabling it creates more terminal instances but ensures each command runs in a clean state.
+
+- **Terminal Output Line Limit** sets how many lines of output Cline will read from commands. The default of 500 lines works for most cases, but you might need to adjust it. For verbose build outputs, increase it. For commands with progress bars that spam thousands of lines, decrease it to around 100 to avoid consuming too many tokens.
+</good_example_of_bullet_points>
+
+## Write Like a Human, Not an AI
+
+Keep it short and direct. If you can say something in fewer words, do it. Long explanations often confuse more than they help.
+
+Use normal sentence lengths. Mix short and long sentences naturally, like you would when talking to someone. Avoid those meandering compound sentences that go on forever.
+
+Cut the corporate speak. Instead of "utilize," say "use." Instead of "in order to," just say "to." Write like you're explaining something to a colleague, not drafting a press release.
+
+Don't over-explain obvious things. If users are reading documentation, they probably understand basic concepts. Respect their intelligence.
+
+## Never use em dashes or emojis
+
+That's pretty much it. Never use them. Only AI writes with em dashes or emojis.
+
+# Anthropomorphizing Cline
+
+When referring to Cline, always call him a "him" not an "it". 
+
+Bad example:
+- When Cline can’t execute commands or read their output, you lose access to one of its most powerful capabilities.
+
+Good Example:
+
+- When Cline can’t execute commands or read their output, you lose access to one of his most powerful capabilities.
+
+# Using "I" when sharing your workflow
+
+Adding a personal touch goes a long way. There are great examples in the docs currently where I use "I" to share how I personally use cline, from dev to dev. It's a great technique.
+
+# Crosslinking relevant documentation pages
+
+Make sure you crosslink when you're done writing the docs. If there are relevant docs, just link to them.
+
+# Brevity is the soul of wit
+
+Don't ramble if you don't need to. Use bullet points and numbered lists. Keep things easy to read.
+
+<bad_example>
+
+When Cline can't execute commands or read their output, you lose access to one of his most powerful capabilities. Terminal integration problems are frustrating, but they're usually fixable with a few simple changes.
+
+## The Most Common Problem: Shell Integration Issues
+
+If you're seeing "Shell integration unavailable" or Cline isn't getting command output, the issue is almost always your shell configuration. Complex shell setups with custom prompts, plugins, and fancy configurations can interfere with VSCode's terminal integration.
+
+**Switch to bash first.** This fixes the problem 90% of the time. Navigate to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile and select "bash" from the dropdown. Restart VSCode after making this change.
+
+Still having issues? Try increasing the shell integration timeout. Go to Cline Settings → Terminal → Shell Integration Timeout and change it from 4 seconds to 10 seconds. Heavy shell configurations need more time to initialize properly.
+
+If commands are running in the wrong directories or you're seeing weird behavior, disable aggressive terminal reuse. In Cline Settings → Terminal, uncheck "Enable aggressive terminal reuse." This creates more terminal instances but ensures each command runs in a clean environment.
+
+
+</bad_exaxmple>
+
+The first part is total filler, useless to any serious developer. You can tell it's written by a non technical person that doesn't value clean, straightforward information. 
+
+<good_example>
+## Shell Integration Issues
+
+If you're seeing "Shell integration unavailable" or Cline can't read command output, your shell configuration is interfering with VSCode's terminal integration.
+
+**Switch to bash first.** Go to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile and select "bash." This fixes 90% of problems.
+
+Still broken? Try these:
+- Increase shell integration timeout to 10 seconds in Cline Settings → Terminal
+- Disable "aggressive terminal reuse" if commands run in wrong directories
+- Restart VSCode after making changes
+</good_example>
+
+The good version cuts straight to the problem and solution. No hand-holding, no emotional language about frustration, just the facts: what's wrong, how to fix it, what to try next. Respects that developers want information, not sympathy.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
+
+ALWAYS consider your audience. And your audience is devs who don't want their time wasted. Give them the info. I cannot stress this enough. Use bullet points and numbered lists. Prose is good, but every word should actually mean something to the dev reading it.
+
+# Lastly, before you start writing docs
+
+1. Internalize these guidelines. I mean it. 
+
+2. Read `docs/docs.json` and get an understanding of the structure of the docs. This will come in handly at the end when you're doing a final pass so you can cross link to docs where relevant.
+
+3. Read some good examples that I personally wrote and am proud of:
+
+- docs/features/slash-commands/workflows.mdx
+- docs/features/slash-commands/new-task.mdx
+- docs/features/at-mentions/overview.mdx
+- docs/features/drag-and-drop.mdx
+
+4. If the user specifies any other instructions make sure you follow them.

 ## Deciding What to Work On
 
 Looking for a good first contribution? Check out issues labeled ["good first issue"](https://github.com/cline/cline/labels/good%20first%20issue) or ["help wanted"](https://github.com/cline/cline/labels/help%20wanted). These are specifically curated for new contributors and areas where we'd love some help!
 
 We also welcome contributions to our [documentation](https://github.com/cline/cline/tree/main/docs)! Whether it's fixing typos, improving existing guides, or creating new educational content - we'd love to build a community-driven repository of resources that helps everyone get the most out of Cline. You can start by diving into `/docs` and looking for areas that need improvement.
 
-If you're planning to work on a bigger feature, please create a [feature request](https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/categories/feature-requests?discussions_q=is%3Aopen+category%3A%22Feature+Requests%22+sort%3Atop) first so we can discuss whether it aligns with Cline's vision.

-Thanks to [Claude 3.7 Sonnet's agentic coding capabilities](https://www.anthropic.com/claude/sonnet), Cline can handle complex software development tasks step-by-step. With tools that let him create & edit files, explore large projects, use the browser, and execute terminal commands (after you grant permission), he can assist you in ways that go beyond code completion or tech support. Cline can even use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create new tools and extend his own capabilities. While autonomous AI scripts traditionally run in sandboxed environments, this extension provides a human-in-the-loop GUI to approve every file change and terminal command, providing a safe and accessible way to explore the potential of agentic AI.

 2. Cline starts by analyzing your file structure & source code ASTs, running regex searches, and reading relevant files to get up to speed in existing projects. By carefully managing what information is added to context, Cline can provide valuable assistance even for large, complex projects without overwhelming the context window.

+.SH NAME
+cline \- orchestrate and interact with Cline AI coding agents
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\f[B]cline\f[R] [\f[I]prompt\f[R]] [\f[I]options\f[R]]
+.PP
+\f[B]cline\f[R] \f[I]command\f[R] [\f[I]subcommand\f[R]]
+[\f[I]options\f[R]] [\f[I]arguments\f[R]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Try: cat README.md | cline \(lqSummarize this for me:\(rq
+.PP
+\f[B]cline\f[R] is a command\-line interface for orchestrating multiple
+Cline AI coding agents.
+Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code
+across your projects.
+He operates through a client\-server architecture where \f[B]Cline
+Core\f[R] runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable
+interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
+.PP
+The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it
+ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal\-based
+workflows.
+Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline
+Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
+.SH MODES OF OPERATION
+.TP
+\f[B]Instant Task Mode\f[R]
+The simplest invocation: \f[B]cline \(lqprompt here\(rq\f[R] immediately
+spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode.
+This is equivalent to running \f[B]cline instance new && cline task new
+&& cline task chat\f[R] in sequence.
+.TP
+\f[B]Subcommand Mode\f[R]
+Advanced usage with explicit control: \f[B]cline <command> [subcommand]
+[options]\f[R] provides fine\-grained control over instances, tasks,
+authentication, and configuration.
+.SH AGENT BEHAVIOR
+Cline operates in two primary modes:
+.TP
+\f[B]ACT MODE\f[R]
+Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks.
+He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser,
+and more.
+This is the default mode for task execution.
+.TP
+\f[B]PLAN MODE\f[R]
+Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before
+implementation.
+He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a
+strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
+.SH INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
+When using the instant task syntax \f[B]cline \(lqprompt\(rq\f[R] the
+following options are available:
+.TP
+\f[B]\-o\f[R], \f[B]\-\-oneshot\f[R]
+Full autonomous mode.
+Cline completes the task and stops following after completion.
+Example: cline \-o \(lqwhat\(cqs 6 + 8?\(rq
+.TP
+\f[B]\-s\f[R], \f[B]\-\-setting\f[R] \f[I]setting\f[R] \f[I]value\f[R]
+Override a setting for this task
+.TP
+\f[B]\-y\f[R], \f[B]\-\-no\-interactive\f[R], \f[B]\-\-yolo\f[R]

+ask_followup_question tool is disabled
+.IP \(bu 2
+attempt_completion happens automatically
+.IP \(bu 2
+execute_command runs in non\-blocking mode with timeout
+.IP \(bu 2
+PLAN MODE automatically switches to ACT MODE
+.RE
+.TP
+\f[B]\-m\f[R], \f[B]\-\-mode\f[R] \f[I]mode\f[R]
+Starting mode.
+Options: \f[B]act\f[R] (default), \f[B]plan\f[R]

+Output format.
+Options: \f[B]rich\f[R] (default), \f[B]json\f[R], \f[B]plain\f[R]
+.TP
+\f[B]\-h\f[R], \f[B]\-\-help\f[R]
+Display help information for the command.
+.TP
+\f[B]\-v\f[R], \f[B]\-\-verbose\f[R]
+Enable verbose output for debugging.
+.SH COMMANDS
+.SS Authentication
+\f[B]cline auth\f[R] [\f[I]provider\f[R]] [\f[I]key\f[R]]
+.TP
+\f[B]cline a\f[R] [\f[I]provider\f[R]] [\f[I]key\f[R]]
+Configure authentication for AI model providers.
+Launches an interactive wizard if no arguments provided.
+If provider is specified without a key, prompts for the key or launches
+the appropriate OAuth flow.
+.SS Instance Management

+# NAME
+
+cline - orchestrate and interact with Cline AI coding agents
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+**cline** [*prompt*] [*options*]
+
+**cline** *command* [*subcommand*] [*options*] [*arguments*]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Try: cat README.md | cline "Summarize this for me:"
+
+**cline** is a command-line interface for orchestrating multiple Cline AI coding agents. Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code across your projects. He operates through a client-server architecture where **Cline Core** runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
+
+The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal-based workflows. Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
+
+# MODES OF OPERATION
+
+**Instant Task Mode**
+
+:   The simplest invocation: **cline "prompt here"** immediately spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode. This is equivalent to running **cline instance new && cline task new && cline task chat** in sequence.
+
+**Subcommand Mode**
+
+:   Advanced usage with explicit control: **cline \<command\> [subcommand] [options]** provides fine-grained control over instances, tasks, authentication, and configuration.
+
+# AGENT BEHAVIOR
+
+Cline operates in two primary modes:
+
+**ACT MODE**
+
+:   Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks. He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser, and more. This is the default mode for task execution.
+
+**PLAN MODE**
+
+:   Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before implementation. He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
+
+# INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
+
+When using the instant task syntax **cline "prompt"** the following options are available:
+
+**-o**, **\--oneshot**
+
+:   Full autonomous mode. Cline completes the task and stops following after completion. Example: cline -o "what's 6 + 8?"
+
+**-s**, **\--setting** *setting* *value*
+
+:   Override a setting for this task
+
+**-y**, **\--no-interactive**, **\--yolo**
+
+:   Enable fully autonomous mode. Disables all interactivity:
+    - ask_followup_question tool is disabled
+    - attempt_completion happens automatically
+    - execute_command runs in non-blocking mode with timeout
+    - PLAN MODE automatically switches to ACT MODE
+
+**-m**, **\--mode** *mode*
+
+:   Starting mode. Options: **act** (default), **plan**
+
+# GLOBAL OPTIONS
+
+These options apply to all subcommands:
+
+**-F**, **\--output-format** *format*
+
+:   Output format. Options: **rich** (default), **json**, **plain**
+
+**-h**, **\--help**
+
+:   Display help information for the command.
+
+**-v**, **\--verbose**
+
+:   Enable verbose output for debugging.
+
+# COMMANDS
+
+## Authentication
+
+**cline auth** [*provider*] [*key*]
+
+**cline a** [*provider*] [*key*]
+
+:   Configure authentication for AI model providers. Launches an interactive wizard if no arguments provided. If provider is specified without a key, prompts for the key or launches the appropriate OAuth flow.
+
+## Instance Management
+
+Cline Core instances are independent agent processes that can run in the background. Multiple instances can run simultaneously, enabling parallel task execution.
+
+**cline instance**
+
+**cline i**
+
+:   Display instance management help.
+
+**cline instance new** [**-d**|**\--default**]
+
+**cline i n** [**-d**|**\--default**]
+
+:   Spawn a new Cline Core instance. Use **\--default** to set it as the default instance for subsequent commands.
+
+**cline instance list**
+
+**cline i l**
+
+:   List all running Cline Core instances with their addresses and status.
+
+**cline instance default** *address*
+
+**cline i d** *address*
+
+:   Set the default instance to avoid specifying **\--address** in task commands.
+
+**cline instance kill** *address* [**-a**|**\--all**]
+
+**cline i k** *address* [**-a**|**\--all**]
+
+:   Terminate a Cline Core instance. Use **\--all** to kill all running instances.
+
+## Task Management
+
+Tasks represent individual work items that Cline executes. Tasks maintain conversation history, checkpoints, and settings.
+
+**cline task** [**-a**|**\--address** *ADDR*]
+
+**cline t** [**-a**|**\--address** *ADDR*]
+
+:   Display task management help. The **\--address** flag specifies which Cline Core instance to use (e.g., localhost:50052).
+
+**cline task new** *prompt* [*options*]
+
+**cline t n** *prompt* [*options*]
+
+:   Create a new task in the default or specified instance. Options:
+
+    **-s**, **\--setting** *setting* *value*
+    :   Set task-specific settings
+
+    **-y**, **\--no-interactive**, **\--yolo**
+    :   Enable autonomous mode
+
+    **-m**, **\--mode** *mode*
+    :   Starting mode (act or plan)
+
+**cline task open** *task-id* [*options*]
+
+**cline t o** *task-id* [*options*]
+
+:   Resume a previous task from history. Accepts the same options as **task new**.
+
+**cline task list**
+
+**cline t l**
+
+:   List all tasks in history with their id and snippet
+
+**cline task chat**
+
+**cline t c**
+
+:   Enter interactive chat mode for the current task. Allows back-and-forth conversation with Cline.
+
+**cline task send** [*message*] [*options*]
+
+**cline t s** [*message*] [*options*]
+
+:   Send a message to Cline. If no message is provided, reads from stdin. Options:
+
+    **-a**, **\--approve**
+    :   Approve Cline's proposed action
+
+    **-d**, **\--deny**
+    :   Deny Cline's proposed action
+
+    **-f**, **\--file** *FILE*
+    :   Attach a file to the message
+
+    **-y**, **\--no-interactive**, **\--yolo**
+    :   Enable autonomous mode
+
+    **-m**, **\--mode** *mode*
+    :   Switch mode (act or plan)
+
+**cline task view** [**-f**|**\--follow**] [**-c**|**\--follow-complete**]
+
+**cline t v** [**-f**|**\--follow**] [**-c**|**\--follow-complete**]
+
+:   Display the current conversation. Use **\--follow** to stream updates in real-time, or **\--follow-complete** to follow until task completion.
+
+**cline task restore** *checkpoint*
+
+**cline t r** *checkpoint*
+
+:   Restore the task to a previous checkpoint state.
+
+**cline task pause**
+
+**cline t p**
+
+:   Pause task execution.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration can be set globally. Override these global settings for a task using the **\--setting** flag
+
+**cline config**
+
+**cline c**
+
+**cline config set** *key* *value*
+
+**cline c s** *key* *value*
+
+:   Set a configuration variable.
+
+**cline config get** *key*
+
+**cline c g** *key*
+
+:   Read a configuration variable.
+
+**cline config list**
+
+**cline c l**
+
+:   List all configuration variables and their values.
+
+# TASK SETTINGS
+
+Task settings are persisted in the *~/.cline/x/tasks* directory. When resuming a task with **cline task open**, task settings are automatically restored.
+
+Common settings include:
+
+**yolo**
+
+:   Enable autonomous mode (true/false)
+
+**mode**
+
+:   Starting mode (act/plan)
+
+# NOTES & EXAMPLES
+
+The **cline task send** and **cline task new** commands support reading from stdin, enabling powerful pipeline compositions:
+
