* fix: remove hardcoded Ollama host from options
Updates the Ollama handler to remove the hardcoded "http://localhost:11434" as the `ollamaBaseUrl` fallback option for the host to allow the Ollama SDK to handle the default endpoint configured on users' machine.
Reason: Ollama allows cross-origin requests from 127.0.0.1 and 0.0.0.0 by default. However, when we use localhost, the browser would resolve it through DNS, which can result in different IP addresses.

Cline-core is setting some of these values in the models proto to the javascript Number.MAX_SAFE_VALUE, which won't fit in int32, so these protobuf messages fail to serialize to and can't be transported.
Just change all the int32s in this file to int64 beceause this is the second time this same issue has occured.
Fixes:

* Add compact system prompt for local models
- Introduce compact system prompt for local models (lm studio, ollama)
- Add ApiProviderInfo { modelId, providerId } to API
- Persist promptType in global state and propagate to webview
(updateSettings, state keys/helpers, ExtensionMessage, UI context)
- Wire provider info through task pipeline to buildSystemPrompt
* isLocalModelFamily
* Add custom prompt support and LM Studio API improvements
* Enable token usage tracking in LM Studio stream responses
This change adds the stream_options parameter with include_usage: true to LM Studio API requests, allowing the system to receive token usage information along with streaming responses. This enables better tracking of token consumption for LM Studio model interactions.
* update compact system prompt
* feat: Support compact system prompt for LM studio models and token usage tracking
* clean up
* Update UI helper text
* fix: improve OpenRouter model info parsing
Refactor OpenRouter model fetching to include `OpenRouterRawModelInfo` and `OpenRouterSupportedParams` types for better clarity and type safety. This allows for more accurate parsing of model capabilities, including support for "thinking" (reasoning) configurations.
The thinking config is now only set if the model explicitly supports the `include_reasoning` parameter. Additionally, the budget slider in the UI is now displayed for OpenRouter models that support thinking, not just specific Claude models. This provides a more dynamic and accurate representation of model features.

The context window is now being set to `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER` to represent infinity. https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/01c4ead15548c906cc690ef030ee447720ccb5b0/src/shared/api.ts#L219-L220
However, this is larger than the max value of int32 and cannot be serialized over the ProtoBus. Update the max token and context window sizes to be int64.

When the user clicks on a directory file mention, it should open that directory in the explorer panel in the IDE. Add an RPC for this to the host bridge.
I had to change the logic to check if the mention is a directory or not because the current check was not working properly anymore. So, just file.stat to check if its a directory instead of checking if the path ends in /.

Add an RPC that returns details about the currently active editor. Right now it just returns the file path.
Update the place where this is used.
Remove commented out code that references `vscode.window.activeTextEditor`.
* Remove unused files
I used knip to find unused code- these files are not referenced anywhere in the codebase.
Dead code is a maintence burden, I am removing this unused code.

* Migrate to Biome for linting/formatting and simplify hooks
- Add biome.jsonc and @biomejs CLI; configure VS Code to use Biome for format/fix and imports
- Replace verbose Husky pre-commit with lint-staged runner
- Remove ESLint setup and custom rule package (no-direct-vscode-api) and its tests
- Update package.json/package-lock and webview-ui package to reflect tooling change
- Add VS Code host typings and grit definitions under src/hosts
Rationale: unify lint/format tooling, speed up pre-commit checks, and reduce maintenance overhead from custom ESLint rules.
* remove eslint dependencies
* preserve eslint rules
* clean up
* update files list
* add docs
* fix build

* update VSCode API usage detection in Grit rule
This commit updates the Grit rule for detecting VSCode API usage:
- Narrow down the list of monitored VSCode API methods
- Add more specific diagnostic messages for direct API usage
- Introduce a new check for `workspaceFolders` property
- Exclude `src/extension.ts` from the Grit rule in Biome configuration
The changes aim to improve code abstraction and provide clearer guidance for replacing direct VSCode API calls.
* adds new cacheService rule
* add back pre-commit
* Remove ESLint custom rule and update linting references

* Switch the DiffViewProvider to use the util `openFile`
This part of the work to migrate the vscode API calls `vscode.window.tabGroups.close`,
`vscode.window.tabGroups.all` and `vscode.window.activeTextEditor` to the host bridge.
`openFile` contains logic that uses these APIs to avoid re-avoiding tabs in the IDE. The end goal
is to move all this logic into `vscode/hostbridge/showTextDocument.ts`.
I am going to switch all the places that use `showTextDocument` over to use `openFile`.
Once everywhere that was using `showTextDocument` has been switched, and is verified to
work the same as before I will move the tab logic in `vscode/hostbridge/showTextDocument.ts`.

* fix: add logging to waitForHostBridgeReady

* Allow hosts to trigger the 'Add to Cline' action
Other platforms need a way to trigger the context menu actions and commands that are available currently in Vscode.
Add a service to the ProtoBus for this called `CommandService`, currently it just has the 'Add to Cline' action.
IDEs that are running cline with cline-core can trigger these actions and commands over gRPC.
Move the code for handling the 'Add to Cline' out of extension.ts into
`src/controller/commands/addToCline.ts`. This same handler will be used for the RPC.
Switch the handler over to use the proto Diagnostics types as it is host-agnostic.

* Change the host bridge RPC closeDiff to closeAllDiffs
In the vscode diff view provider when the diff is closed, it
closes _all_ open diff views.
I thought in the HostBridge, we would just only be closing the
current diff, but we do need to close all the open diff view
because there can be checkpoint diffs open as well.

Guard ActionButtons when no task; fix scroll deps/empty state
- Return null from ActionButtons if no task to avoid rendering controls without context
- Add missing setExpandedRows dependency and remove unnecessary deps to prevent stale closures and re-renders
- Hide “scroll to bottom” button when there are no messages
- Clean up unused index-tracking logic in scrollToMessage
Add an RPC to the Host Bridge to open a diff for multiple files, this is
used when comparing check points or to display the changes cline has made
when it is finished editing.
Switch the file mentions unit test to an integration test because
now it is pulling vscode dependencies and they cannot be mocked
in the unit tests.
* Refactor action buttons: centralize state, remove useButtonState
- Replace useButtonState hook with centralized ButtonConfig logic in ActionButtons, mapping task/ask/tool states to button enablement and labels
- Update ActionButtons API to accept task, messages, mode; compute streaming/enablement internally; remove isStreaming prop
- Always render ActionButtons from ChatView; adjust props accordingly
- Update useIsStreaming call to pass task instead of enableButtons/primaryText
- Clean up useMessageHandlers to reset UI state consistently (input, quotes, files, images, autoscroll)
- Remove deprecated hook and align types
Why: unify and simplify button behavior across task lifecycle, reduce duplicated state/props, and make streaming/approval flows more predictable.
* clean up
* Refactor input clearing and streaming detection logic
This commit:
- Separates input clearing logic into a separate useEffect in ActionButtons
- Removes StreamingIndicator component and its useIsStreaming hook
* Revert newly added button states
Remove switch_to_act_mode button config and associated plan mode conditionals in getButtonConfig function, will do any UI change in follow-up
* simplify further
* Add test suite for button configuration logic
This commit introduces a new test file for the `buttonConfig` module, covering various scenarios such as:
- Default button configurations
- Streaming and partial message handling
- Error recovery states
- Tool approval states
- Command execution states
- Specific ask state configurations
- API request state testing
The tests ensure robust button configuration selection based on different message types and states.

The diff view is supposed to return any new errors or warnings after the
file is edited. The ExternalDiffViewProvider was just returning *all*
the errors.
When the DiffViewProvider is being reset, reset *all* the properties.
Add unit tests for diagnostics functionality
Refactoring:
- Move diagnostics into the parent DiffViewProvider, remove duplicate implementations in VscodeDiffViewProvider and ExternalDiffViewProvider
- Move duplicated code for converting FileDiagnostics to string to `diagnosticsToProblemsString`.
- Use a single implementation of `getDiagnostics` and `diagnosticsToProblemsString` using the HostBridge protos.
* remove workspace tracker

* fix search when clicking folder option
* create enum for searchType
* use hostbridge for active files
* use util function for relative path
* Fix into interests error where false security warning is being triggered
* Don't use activate() in cline-core
Have separate code paths to set up the extension and cline-core.
This means the cline-core is not running all the vscode setup and is
only using one `Controller` (the one from the WebviewProvider).
Move the shared logic into common.ts.
* Comments and logging
* fix: mode switch styling
Replace the use of `--vscode-toolbar-hoverBackground` which is a `-hoverBackground` that tends to be transperant or opacity change on some themes. Replace it with `-background` which uses solid color instead. See https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color

The ExternalWebviewProvider has to return /something/ for `getWebview()` or
the rest of the code thinks that is not set up and it won't generate the HTML
for IntelliJ.
The Vscode webview panel, `resolveWebview()` and other Vscode specific parts are
planned to be moved out of the WebviewProvider and into VscodeWebviewProvider,
but that depends other changes to how the webview is initialized in extension.ts
to need to happen first.
Move the WebviewProvider out of index.ts and into a file name `WebviewProvider`,
this follows best practises.

* Simplify the GrpcHandler
* Use two functions handleUnaryRequest and handleStreamingRequest, instead of creating a GrpcHandler object and calling class methods on it.
* Remove redundant try/catch and empty finally blocks. Each of the two handler functions has it's own try/catch.
* Each of the two functions is responsible for posting the result to the webview- Instead of unary and streaming responses being handled at different levels.
* Use the GrpcRequest and GrpcCancel types.

**Centralize callback URI management** through the HostProvider instead of having it in multiple places in the codebase.
**Simplify error handling** by making the callback URI required rather than optional
The changes are related to **authentication callback URI handling** in the Cline extension. Here's what's being modified:
- Simplified callback URI retrieval
- Changed return type from `Promise<string | undefined>` to `Promise<string>`
- Now throws an error if AuthHandler is not enabled instead of returning undefined
- Added a new `getCallbackUri` property that returns a `Promise<string>`
- This allows the host provider to supply callback URIs for authentication
- Implemented callback URI provider
- Updated to use HostProvider for callback URI
- Updated to match new signature
* feat: support file mentions with spaces using quoted syntax
This change allows users to reference files with spaces in their names, which was previously impossible due to the space-delimited mention syntax.
File names with spaces can be @ mentioned by quoting the file name, e.g. @"/path with spaces/file.txt".
- Update mention regex in `src/shared/context-mentions.ts` to accept quoted file paths
- Add support for quoted file paths that can contain spaces.
- Allow multiple trailing punctuation chars; previously only a single limited punctuation characters were allowed.
- Maintain support for unquoted paths, URLs, git hashes, and special keywords
- Update `src/core/mentions/index.ts` to handle quoted file names in mention parsing
- Process quoted file paths by removing quotes when accessing the file system
- Preserve existing functionality for all other mention types
- Update `webview-ui/src/utils/context-mentions.ts` to auto-quote file names with spaces
- `insertMention()` and `insertMentionDirectly()` now wrap file paths containing spaces in quotes
- Non-file mentions (URLs, keywords) remain unquoted
- Add comprehensive unit tests:
- New test file `src/core/mentions/__tests__/index.test.ts` covering all mention types
- New test file `webview-ui/src/utils/__tests__/context-mentions.test.ts` for webview mention insertion
- Expanded `src/shared/__tests__/context-mentions.test.ts` to cover quoted paths and edge cases
* Use const instead of var
- Replace fixed 100ms timeout with pWaitFor polling mechanism
- Set 2-second timeout with 50ms polling interval
- Test now waits exactly as long as needed for tabs to be created
* Move remaining uses of vscode.window.show*Message to the HostBridge
Switch over the remaining uses.
Turn on the linter check to prevent these APIs being reintroduced later.
Exclude test files from the linter check.
* Update unit test
- Replace database icon with MCP server icon (codicon-server)
- Remove shadow-sm class for a flatter appearance
- Maintain consistent button styling with VSCodeButton components
- Add tooltips using HeroTooltip
* Fix errors in tests:

- Async starting and stopping HTTP server
* test: Fix and re-enable unit tests
Re-enable unit tests in CI workflow that were previously disabled
The cline-api test requires VSCode SDK which cannot be easily mocked in unit tests,
so it has been moved to integration tests where the full VSCode environment is available.
The @google/genai module is ES6-only which causes issues when running integration tests
compiled to CommonJS. A mock implementation has been added and the module resolution
is intercepted in test-setup.js to use the mock instead.
The bedrock unit tests for getModelId() functionality are removed as they were failing
and fixing them is out of scope for this PR.
- Move cline-api.test.ts from exports to test directory as it depends on VSCode SDK
- Add gemini-mock.test.ts to mock @google/genai ES6 module for CommonJS compatibility
- Add module interception in test-setup.js to redirect @google/genai to mock

* refactor & fix: improve account view with better states management
The previous AccountView implementation suffered from several critical state management issues:
- Incorrect info on display: The active account is not ready when component is mounted because the fetching only start on mount but doesn't get reset correctly
- Excessive re-renders: All data was fetched on component mount, causing cascading state updates
- Race conditions: Multiple concurrent API calls and state dependencies created unpredictable behavior, e.g. 403 rate limits errors
- Monolithic state management: All account data, organizations, and auth state was managed in a single massive component
- Poor user experience: Users saw empty states and loading flickers when switching between organizations
- Tight coupling: User and org info logic was deeply embedded within the account view that cause Effect dependency loops
Solution: Centralized Authentication Context
- Extracted auth logic into dedicated ClineAuthContext with organizations state management
- Eliminated prop drilling by providing clineUser, organizations, and activeOrganization at the context level
- Reduced component re-renders by managing auth state separately from UI state
- Performed authentication guard at higher level and only displays user account to authenticated user. The component will get dismounted when user is not autheticated.
- Move handleSignIn and handleSignout into individual functions instead as they are regular functions with no state dependency

* Add a check to the proto scripts to warn about using int64 types.
Javascript cannot represent the full range of int64. So, when the protos are deserialized from JSON int64's are converted to strings. The typescript code is expecting a number and not a string, and this causes errors.
This was noticed before now because in the vscode protobus and hostbridge, the proto messages are not serialized and deserialized, they are just passed around as JS objects.
However, in IntelliJ the protos are serialized when they are sent through the ProtoBus. When the response messages contains and int64, it is deserialized to a string instead of a number for safety. This is causes parts of Cline to fail in IntelliJ, e.g. the task history view won't load because `Task.getTotalTasksSize()` returns a string when it is expecting a number.

- Fix AccountView state management when user is not authenticated or is authenticated after the webview is loaded
- Add proper loading state reset and conditional data fetching
* Display credit balance for all accounts
The credit balance display was previously only shown for personal accounts. This change removes the check for `activeOrganization === null` and displays the credit balance and "Add Credits" button for all account types, including organization accounts. A divider is added above the balance section for visual separation once the backend change is deployed.
* changeset
* Improve refresh logic
Refactors the `AccountView` component to properly display and manage credits for both user and organization accounts. It introduces the `getOrganizationCredits` API call to fetch organization-specific credits and updates the UI accordingly. The refresh logic has also been improved to ensure data consistency and prevent unnecessary API calls.
Key changes:
- Implemented `getOrganizationCredits` to fetch credits for the active organization.
- Modified the credit display to show organization credits when an organization is active.
- Updated the refresh logic to use `useCallback` and `debounce` for better performance and to prevent race conditions.
- Added a periodic refresh to update account data every 30 seconds.
- Improved error handling and loading state management.
- Removed the interval ref and replaced it with a simpler useEffect for periodic refresh.
- Added last fetch time to the UI.

* Don't JSON encode the grpc message request.
The original grpc-client-base.ts encoded the request message using

return request.toJSON()
} else if (typeof request === "object") {
return { ...request }
} else {
return { value: request }
}
```
But the request object don't have a .toJSON method, so it was not actually converting them
to JSON properly.
Don't JSON encode request to keeo the same behaviour as before.
* Update gitignore
* fix: Generate type-safe code for the Vscode Protobus service
This commit establishes a fully type-safe ProtoBus system by fixing the streaming
response handler type definitions and completing the protobuf-driven architecture.
Key improvements:
• **Complete type safety**: ProtoBus is now completely type-safe with compile-time
validation of all gRPC service definitions, request/response types, and handler
signatures
• **Simplified message creation**: No longer need to manually call `Message.create({...})`
- the generated code handles message instantiation automatically
• **Automated proto parsing**: Eliminated manual parsing of proto files - the build
system now automatically generates TypeScript definitions from protobuf schemas
• **Proto files as source of truth**: Service names, method names, and message types
are now definitively controlled by the proto files, ensuring consistency across
the entire codebase
• **Handler type checking**: ProtoBus handlers are fully type-checked including:
- Request and response type validation
- Handler method name verification against proto definitions
- Streaming vs unary handler signature enforcement
This establishes a robust, type-safe foundation for all gRPC communication between
the extension host and webview components.
* Remove commented out code in script
* Just call handlers directly
* Fix CLINE_ENVIRONMENT configuration not being passed to webview
## Problem
The CLINE_ENVIRONMENT configuration set in launch.json was not being properly passed to the webview, causing the webview to break when trying to access environment-specific configurations.
This resulted in:
Webview using incorrect API URLs (always defaulting to production)
Broken authentication flows in development/staging environments
Inconsistent behavior between the main extension and webview components
## Root Cause
The issue occurred because:
Duplicate Configuration Logic: The webview had its own separate config.ts file that was trying to read process.env.CLINE_ENVIRONMENT directly
Environment Variable Propagation: While Vite was configured to pass CLINE_ENVIRONMENT to the build process, the webview's runtime code couldn't access this environment variable properly
Configuration Mismatch: The main extension and webview were using different configuration sources, leading to inconsistent environment settings

* Refactor: Git commit message generation as a module
Implement Git commit message generation as a module
Refactors the Git commit message generation functionality into a separate module for better organization and maintainability.
The changes include:
- Moving the commit message generation logic from `src/core/controller/index.ts` to a new module `src/integrations/git/commit-message-generator.ts`.
- Adding a command to abort commit message generation.
- Updating the `cline.generateGitCommitMessage` command to use the new module.
- Adding a context key to disable the generate commit message button when a commit is generating.
This refactoring improves the codebase by:
- Separating concerns: The commit message generation logic is now isolated in its own module, making it easier to understand and maintain.
- Improving testability: The new module can be tested independently of the controller.
- Promoting code reuse: The commit message generation logic can be reused in other parts of the application if needed.

Use await when calling `windowClient.showMessage`, otherwise the caller doesn't wait for the request to complete and any exceptions are lost.
For the host bridge RPCs, you don't need to do `ShowMessageRequest.create({...})`, you can just pass the request directly like: `{...}. The Message.create() was needed for the ProtoBus because of the way it was implemented, it couldn't be type-checked by the compiled. It's not needed elsewhere.

* Add host bridge rpcs for the diff service
* Add saveDocument and closeDiff to the host bridge.
* Formatting
* Use the host bridge in ExternalDiffviewProvider
* Make comments less verbose
* Unify error handling and display
Several improvements to error handling and reporting within the Cline extension, focusing on providing more informative error messages to the user and improving telemetry data.
- **Error Handling:**
- Introduces a `ClineError` class to encapsulate Cline-specific errors, providing structured data about the error (status code, request ID, etc.).
- The `ErrorService` now creates and logs `ClineError` instances, improving error reporting to Sentry and telemetry.
- Removes redundant error formatting logic from `src/core/task/utils.ts`, relying on the `ClineError` class for consistent error representation.
- The Cline API handler now throws the raw error, allowing the `ClineError` class to handle the error formatting.
- **UI Improvements:**
- Introduces new UI components (`ErrorRow`, `ErrorBlockTitle`) to display error messages in a more user-friendly format within the chat interface.
- Displays credit limit errors with detailed information and a link to purchase credits.
- Improves the display of rate limit errors and authentication errors.
- Adds specific handling for PowerShell-related errors, providing a link to a troubleshooting guide.
- **Telemetry:**
- Captures provider API errors using `ClineError` data, providing more detailed information about the error in telemetry reports.
- **Other Changes:**
- Fixes an import path in `src/services/posthog/PostHogClientProvider.ts`.
- Adds tests for the new UI components.
- Adds `error` field to `ClineMessage` to transport `ClineError` instances to the webview.
These changes aim to provide a better user experience by displaying more informative error messages and improving the overall reliability of the Cline extension.
* include provider id
* includes model and provider id
* fix test
* return gracefully for empty response
* Handle auth state changes in all extension windows
Addresses an issue where authentication state changes (login/logout) were not being properly propagated across all extension windows.
The `onDidChange` event handler for `clineAccountId` secret now checks if the secret was added/updated (login) or removed (logout).
- If the secret exists, `restoreRefreshTokenAndRetrieveAuthInfo` is called to restore auth info (login from another window).
- If the secret is removed, `handleDeauth` is called to handle logout for all windows.
This ensures that all extension windows are kept in sync with the current authentication state.
* changeset
* Add a way to reset state for the platform specific diff view providers.
Add the abstract method `resetDiffView()` to the DiffViewProvider.
On Vscode it reset the active diff editor and decorations.
On External diff view providers, it reset the diff editor ID.
* Add a way to truncate the document to the platform specific diff view providers.
This is used when the last update is recieved to remove any content from the bottom of the document.
* Move `closeDiffView` to the platform specific diff view classes.
* Update comment
* Use await for async function
* Move setting the cursor position into replaceText
* Move the logic to scroll the diff editor window into the platform specific classes.
Move the current logic into the VscodeDiffViewProvider.
The ExternalDiffViewProvider will use the host bridge to scroll the editor tab. But for now it doesn't do anything.
* Add comment
* Remove log messages
* Refactor terminal output capture for better reliability
- Extract emitCurrentTerminalContents() as a private method for reusability
- Improve handling of commands with no/delayed output by capturing actual terminal contents instead of generic messages
- Add multiple fallback attempts (100ms, 1s, 3s) for terminals without shell integration
- Enhance timeout comments to clarify the 3-second delay purpose
- Add .tool-versions file (likely for version management)
* Refactor TerminalProcess run method into smaller functions
Split the monolithic run() method into focused helper methods for better
maintainability and readability. Extracted initialization, shell integration
execution, stream processing, and cleanup logic into separate private methods.
This improves code organization without changing functionality.
* Fixing the handling of echo commands and changing the wording of the terminal capture line
* fix: Embracing the ffmpeg for opus support
* Disable recording webview click events
Introduces a temporary measure to disable the recording of webview click events in PostHog. This is achieved by adding a `temporaryDisabled` flag that, when true, prevents the initialization of PostHog and stops the identification of users.
This change is intended to be temporary and should be reverted in a future commit by removing the `temporaryDisabled` flag.
* Use separate PostHog config for development environment
This commit introduces a separate PostHog project for the development environment. This allows us to track events in the development environment without polluting the production data.
The `posthogConfig` now uses `posthogDevEnvConfig` when `process.env.isDev` is true, and `posthogProdConfig` otherwise.
* process.env.IS_DEV
* Update src/shared/services/config/posthog-config.ts

* Add Playwright E2E tests
Adding end-to-end (E2E) testing capabilities using Playwright. It also updates the `@vscode/test-electron` dependency.
The changes include:
- Adding Playwright as a dev dependency.
- Adding `e2e` and `e2e:build` scripts to `package.json` for running E2E tests.
- Adding `@playwright/test` to the list of dependencies.
- Updating `@vscode/test-electron` from `2.4.1` to `2.5.2`.
- Adding `test-results` to `.gitignore` to exclude test result files.
* wip: github workflow
Adding a new GitHub Actions workflow for running end-to-end (E2E) tests using Playwright. The workflow is triggered on push to the main branch, pull requests, and manual workflow dispatch.
The workflow defines a matrix strategy to run tests on different runners (Ubuntu and Windows) and shards. It also uploads Playwright recordings as artifacts if the tests fail.
* add @vscode/vsce as dev dep
* update workflow
* apply feedback
* fix test workflows
* add command palette helper
This commit improves the reliability and efficiency of the end-to-end tests by:
- Adding a delay to the "Let's go!" button click in the auth test to ensure the action is properly registered.
- Adding an expectation to ensure the "Get Started for Free" button is no longer visible after API key submission.
- Caching the "Use your own API key" button to avoid redundant lookups.
- Introducing a `runCommandPalette` helper function to streamline command execution within the VS Code environment.
- Disabling notifications before running the tests to prevent interference.

* Move the vscode specific classes into the `hosts/vscode` package.
Move the vscode specific classes VscodeDiffViewProvider and VscodeWebviewProvider in the `hosts/vscode` package.
I am doing this so that the vscode-specific code is contained in one package instead of being mixed with the code that is meant to be platform-agnostic.
This also makes it easier for us to see which parts of the codebase are still using the vscode APIs and need to be migrated, and for the linter rules
that check that vscode API calls are not reintroduced after they are migrated to the host bridge.
* Use absolute imports instead of relative
* Move the generated files for the host bridge into the 'src/generated' directory
Move the generated index.ts and methods.ts files for the host bridge into the 'src/generated' directory
I'm doing this because when all the generated files are one in location its a) easier to see from the import statement that the code is generated, b) it's easier to change the package(s) of the generated files, and c) easier to reset/clean the build state.
* Update import path
* Move the hostbridge handlers in the a hostbridge packge.
Move the hostbridge handlers out of the top level of the vscode package into their own subpackage.
I have to move all the vscode specific code into the `hosts/vscode` package, and I want the hostbridge handlers to be grouped together, not mixed in with things like the VscodeDiffViewProvider, VscodeWebviewProvider etc.
Removes the credit validation check from the `createMessage` function in `src/api/providers/cline.ts`. The `validateRequest` function, which checks if the user has sufficient credits, has also been removed from `src/services/account/ClineAccountService.ts`.
The credit validation is no longer performed before sending a message to the Cline API.

* Capture provider API errors
Introduces a new telemetry event to capture errors returned by API providers. This will allow us to better monitor the reliability and performance of different providers and identify potential issues.
The following changes were made:
- Added a `captureProviderApiError` method to the `TelemetryService` to record provider API errors.
- Added a new `PROVIDER_API_ERROR` event to the `TelemetryService.EVENTS.TASK` enum.
- Modified the `Task` class to capture and report provider API errors, including the error message, status code, and request ID.
- Added `extractErrorDetails` to extract the status code, message, and request ID from an error object.
- Updated `formatErrorWithStatusCode` to use `extractErrorDetails`.

Update the diff service to use a unique id to track open diff editor in external platforms.
Store the diff Id in the ExternalDiffViewEditor when the diff is opened. It will serve the same purpose as the activeDiffEditor property on vscode, it can be used to manipulate the diff editor tab.
Add the implementation of replaceText in the ExternalDiffViewEditor.
* Remove state parameter from auth callback
Removes the state parameter that contains auth nonce and the associated logic.
The state parameter which contains the auth nonce in the auth callback doesn't work with multi-windows as each window contains its own nonce. As the provider parameter is sufficient to identify the auth provider we could remove the auth nonce to avoid complications.

* Add a vscode specific DiffViewProvider, and one for external platforms.
Make the DiffViewProvider class abstract, with two implementations the VscodeDiffViewProvider and the ExternalDiffViewProvider.
Move the vscode specific code to open the diff view into VscodeDiffViewProvider.openDiffEditor. The ExternalDiffViewProvider will use the host bridge to open the diff view.
Add a way to get the correct DiffViewProvider for the platform to the host provider.
Right now, there is only platform specific logic for `open`, the other functions like `scroll` and `replaceText` will be added in a follow up PR. The end-state will look like [this](https://github.com/cline/cline/compare/main...sjf-gg), but it's easier to test and review each part separately.
* In the VscodeDiffViewProvider, use the previous way of getting the open diff editor, before it was switched to the host bridge.
Using the host bridge doesn't help here, because we really need a reference to the actual vscode text editor document, which the host bridge can't return. So, it was doing openDocument, and then immediately using the vscode SDK to get the editor reference. When, really the diff editor was already open, and we only need the editor reference.
* Add DiffService to the host bridge.
Add a new diff service with a method to open the diff view for a file.
On vscode, we will not use the hostbridge for opening the diff editor, so the vscode handler just throws an error.

* host bridge migration: showErrorMessage & showInformationMessage & showWarningMessage
Introduces the `showMessage` host API to the VS Code extension, allowing the host to display informational, warning, and error messages to the user.
The changes include:
- A new `ShowMessageRequest` and `SelectedResponse` message definition in `proto/host/window.proto` to define the request and response structure for showing messages.
- A new file `src/hosts/vscode/window/showMessage.ts` that implements the `showErrorMessage`, `showInformationMessage`, and `showWarningMessage` functions. These functions use the VS Code API to display messages based on the `ShowMessageRequest`.
- Replace all current call sites with the new implementations
* define the request structure
This commit introduces the `showErrorMessage`, `showInformationMessage`, and `showWarningMessage` host APIs to the VS Code extension. These APIs allow the host to display informational, warning, and error messages to the user.
The changes include:
- Added `ShowErrorMessageRequest`, `ShowInformationMessageRequest`, and `ShowWarningMessageRequest` message definitions in `proto/host/window.proto` to define the request structure for showing messages.
- Added new files `src/hosts/vscode/window/showErrorMessage.ts`, `src/hosts/vscode/window/showInformationMessage.ts`, and `src/hosts/vscode/window/showWarningMessage.ts` that implement the corresponding functions. These functions use the VS Code API to display messages based on the provided message and options.
* Simplify showMessage functions and use options array
The `showErrorMessage`, `showInformationMessage`, and `showWarningMessage` functions in `src/hosts/vscode/window/` have been refactored for simplification.
- The functions now directly destructure the `modal`, `detail`, and `items` properties from the input object.
- The VS Code API calls now directly pass the `modal` and `detail` options, and use the spread operator to pass the `items.options` array as additional arguments. This removes the need for conditional logic to construct the options object.

* Fix: Ensure Cline client is initialized with the latest auth token
The Cline client was not being re-initialized with the latest authentication token after the user signs in. This resulted in the client using an outdated or non-existent token, leading to authentication errors when making API requests.
This commit ensures that the Cline client is initialized with the most recent authentication token by setting the `apiKey` property of the `OpenAI` client instance to the current auth token retrieved from `AuthService` before every request. This guarantees that the client always uses the valid and up-to-date token for authentication.

* Request validation and remove credit balance for cline team
Add request validation for Cline API requests and fix the user interface for displaying credit-related information in UI.
The changes include:
- **Credit Balance Validation:** Implemented `validateRequest` method in `ClineAccountService` to check user's credit balance before making API requests. Requests from active organizations are skipped. An error is thrown if the balance is insufficient.
- **Error Handling:** Improved error handling in `ClineHandler` to provide more informative error messages to the user.
- **UI Enhancements:**
- Updated `CreditLimitError` component to display the current balance that matches the account view balance format (4 decimal places).
- Modified `ChatRow` to parse error messages and display the `CreditLimitError` component when applicable.
- Updated `AccountView` to only display credit balance for user accounts, not organization accounts.
- Removed unused props from `CreditLimitError` component. Context: https://cline-space.slack.com/archives/C08KYBFL9DJ/p1752182278852399?thread_ts=1752164726.247429&cid=C08KYBFL9DJ

Improves the authentication flow and state validation process. We no longer reset the auth nounce after each sign in as AuthService is a singleton and there is no risk of nonce collision between different users as only one user can be signed in at a time.
Changes:
- The `authNonce` is now generated once during `AuthService` instantiation and stored as a read-only property. This ensures that the nonce remains consistent throughout the authentication process.
- The `resetAuthNonce` method has been removed, as the nonce is no longer meant to be reset.
- The `createAuthRequest` method now uses the URL object for more graceful query construction.
- **Controller:**
- The `validateAuthState` method has been simplified to directly compare the provided state with the stored `authNonce`.
- **Extension:**
- The extension now prompts the user for confirmation if the state parameter in the auth callback does not match the stored `authNonce`. This allows sign-ins initiated from outside the extension (e.g., Cline web) to be handled correctly.
Issue: The issue is that the authNonce is being reset in the validateAuthState method in the Controller, but the extension.ts is directly accessing authService.authNonce without going through the validation method. This creates a race condition where:
User initiates auth, nonce is generated
Auth callback comes back with the state
If there are multiple auth attempts or the callback is processed multiple times, the nonce might be reset before the validation in extension.ts happens
User gets "Invalid auth state" error

* Fix: Cline authentication errors
This commit improves error handling for Cline authentication. It adds checks for the presence of a Cline account authentication token before making API requests. If the token is missing, it throws an "Unauthorized" error, prompting the user to sign in. Additionally, it catches `ERR_BAD_REQUEST` or 401 errors from the Cline API and throws the same "Unauthorized" error, providing a more user-friendly experience when authentication fails.

* Fix fresh install mode launch config
Updates the launch configuration in `.vscode/launch.json` to include a temporary profile and user data directory. This fixes the issue where the launch config does not start in fresh install mode for extension development. This change prevents interference from existing settings and extensions. The `--user-data-dir=/tmp/cline/user` argument specifies a temporary directory for user data, while `--profile-temp` ensures a clean profile is used for each launch. Also, `--sync=off` is added to disable settings sync.
* update name
* tmp dir
* Implement in-memory storage for temporary profiles
Adds in-memory storage for global state, workspace state, and secrets when running in a temporary profile. This is determined by the `TEMP_PROFILE` environment variable being set to "true". When active, the `updateGlobalState`, `getGlobalState`, `updateGlobalStateBatch`, `updateSecretsBatch`, `storeSecret`, `getSecret`, `updateWorkspaceState`, and `getWorkspaceState` functions will use `Map` objects to store and retrieve data instead of VS Code's `globalState`, `secrets`, and `workspaceState` APIs. This ensures that no data is persisted to disk when using a temporary profile, providing a clean environment for testing and development.
* Refactor tmp user directory for dev launch config
This commit refactors the temporary user directory used in the development launch configuration.
- Updates `.vscode/launch.json` to use `${workspaceFolder}/dist/tmp/user` for the `--user-data-dir` argument, ensuring the temporary profile is located within the workspace.
- Adds `TEMP_PROFILE: "true"` to the environment variables in `.vscode/launch.json` to enable in-memory storage for temporary profiles.
- Renames the `clean-sandbox` task in `.vscode/tasks.json` to `clean-tmp-user` and modifies its command to remove and recreate the `${workspaceFolder}/dist/tmp/user` directory. This ensures a clean environment for each launch.

* Package the same files for the standalone app and the extension
When packaging the standalone app use the same .vscodeignore that the vscode packager uses to decide which files to include.
Exclude extra files from the vscode extension that aren't needed: dist-standalone, old_docs and eslint-rules.
* Ignore the whole directory, not just the contents.
* Don't package .DS_Store files
* Update comment
* Update the no-vscode-postmessage eslint rule to check for all the vscode SDK calls that have been replaced.

Add a util function asRelativePath to path.ts that does the same thing as the vcode API (returns the path relative to the workspace directory).
In the getRelativePaths protobus handler, don't allow @mentions for files outside the workspace, they do not work in cline, so just prevent them from being added at all.
If the fs.stat fails for a file, don't @mention it either, if stat() fails it means the file doesn't exist or is unreadable.

Adds capture of token usage data for conversation turns in the telemetry service. This includes tokensIn, tokensOut, cacheWriteTokens, cacheReadTokens, and totalCost.
The changes involve:
- Modifying the `captureConversationTurnEvent` method in `TelemetryService.ts` to accept and include token usage data in the captured event properties.
- Updating the `Task` class in `src/core/task/index.ts` to pass token usage information when capturing conversation turn events. This ensures that token usage is tracked for both regular and cached responses.
- Refactor capture event to use object destructuring for easier readability

Make cwd a class property, and pass the cwd into the constructor of task (await can't be used in the constructor either).
Don't export cwd from task/index.ts. This top-level property cwd will be removed in a following PR because await cannot be used at the top-level.
Use the hostbridge util getCwd() in createRuleFile.ts and refreshRules.ts instead of import the cwd from `task`.
Add a util function to get the desktop directory instead of constructing it multiple places, update uses with the new function getDesktopDir()
Replace function getCwd in FileContextTracker.ts with just getCwd from paths.ts.

Move the generated file src/standalone/server-setup.ts into src/generated/ directory.
Add the host bridge address env var to the vscode launch.json
In build-proto.js: path.join will normalize slashes in file paths, so use path.join(x, "a/b/c") instead of path.join(x, "a", "b", "c").
* Fix error handling for unary handler in the host bridge grpc handler for vscode.
The unary request handler was return a struct like {message: ..., error: ..., requestId: ...}
But the caller was only looking at the message field, not the error.
Simplify the unary handler and just return the response message or throw if there was an error. The caller already has the request id, it doesn't need it to be returned from handler.
* Update comments
* Return early from cancelRequest if request wasn't cancelled to reduce indent level/complexity.
* Fix bug in cancelRequest in the host bridge grpc handler where cancel message is never sent to the client.
When a request is cancelled it is removed from the registery. The cancel handler was cancelling the request, and then trying to retrieve it again to get the stream handler, but it was already removed from the active request, so the cancel message was never sent to the client.
Fix this by retrieving the stream handler first, and then cancelling the request.

* Stop spamming the logs.
* Fix hardcoded context menu index for File option selection
The ChatTextArea component was using a hardcoded index 3 to select the "File" option by default in the context menu, but this was incorrect - the File option is actually at index 5 in the menu options array. This caused the wrong option (Git) to be selected by default when pressing Escape or when no query is provided.
Additionally, the hardcoded approach was fragile and would break if the context menu order changed in the future.
Key changes:
- Added `DEFAULT_CONTEXT_MENU_OPTIONS` array in context-mentions.ts to define the canonical menu order
- Added helper function `getDefaultContextMenuOptionIndex()` dynamically finds the correct index for any option type
- Updated ChatTextArea to use `DEFAULT_CONTEXT_MENU_OPTION` constant instead of hardcoded 3
- Updated `getContextMenuOptions()` to use the new centralized array

The extension doesn't like it when the workspace/workspace config is undefined.
Fix the warning about the name in package.json.
Change some logging in the gRPC server.
* Add active files to file context menu
Add support to include active files (open tabs) within the WorkspaceTracker. This enables the tracker to send the webview with a file list that has active files listed at the top.
The changes include:
- Listening for tab group changes using `vscode.window.tabGroups.onDidChangeTabs` to trigger workspace updates.
- Introducing an `activeFiles` getter that retrieves the file paths of all currently open text editor tabs.
- Modifying the `workspaceDidUpdate` function to include both `activeFiles` and `filePaths` when posting the `workspaceUpdated` message to the webview.
* use set
* add changeset
* Add a postMessage handler for standalone cline app.
If there is no vscode api defined, try to use the standalone post
Message handler.
* Imports
* Update logs
* Add type checking for protobus RPC handlers.
Add type parameters to the wrapper function when generating the server-setup file.
So that the parameters of the RPC handler will be type checked against types defined in the service.
The generated code looks like this:
```
server.addService(proto.cline.CheckpointsService.service, {
checkpointDiff: wrapper<cline.Int64Request,cline.Empty>(checkpointDiff, controller),
checkpointRestore: wrapper<cline.CheckpointRestoreRequest,cline.Empty>(checkpointRestore, controller),
});
```
Add an index.ts file to the proto directory so all the proto types can be imported without having to know which proto message is defined in which file (the proto descriptor set doesn't have this information).
* Generate index.ts with protoc instead of doing it ourselves.
Turn on the option 'dontExportCommonSymbols' in protoc, so that each generated proto file is not trying to export the same utility functions.
Generate all the protos with the same protoc command.

* feat(lint): Add custom ESLint rules for protobuf type checking
Add two custom ESLint rules to enforce proper usage patterns when creating protobuf objects.
Using .create() to build protobufs ensures that the protobuf is type checked when it is created. Protobufs created using
object literals are not type checked, which can lead to subtle bugs and type mismatches. The linter rules detect when protobufs are created without using .create() or .fromPartial().
- no-protobuf-object-literals: Enforces the use of `.create()` or `.fromPartial()` methods instead of object literals when creating protobuf types.
```
/Users/sjf/cline/src/shared/proto-conversions/state/chat-settings-conversion.ts
9:9 warning Use ChatSettings.create() or ChatSettings.fromPartial() instead of object literal for protobuf type
Found: return {
mode: chatSettings.mode === "plan" ? PlanActMode.PLAN : PlanActMode.ACT,
preferredLanguage: chatSettings.preferredLanguage,
openAiReasoningEffort: chatSettings.openAIReasoningEffort,
}
Suggestion: ChatSettings.create({
mode: chatSettings.mode === "plan" ? PlanActMode.PLAN : PlanActMode.ACT,
preferredLanguage: chatSettings.preferredLanguage,
openAiReasoningEffort: chatSettings.openAIReasoningEffort,
})
```
- no-grpc-client-object-literals: Enforces proper protobuf creation for gRPC service client parameters. This needs a separate rule
because the type signatures of the ServiceClients methods are too generic to be detected by the previous rule.
```
/Users/sjf/cline/webview-ui/src/components/mcp/configuration/tabs/add-server/AddRemoteServerForm.tsx
41:62 warning Use the appropriate protobuf .create() or .fromPartial() method instead of object literal for gRPC client parameters.
Found: McpServiceClient.addRemoteMcpServer({
serverName: serverName.trim(),
serverUrl: serverUrl.trim(),
})
```
These rules help maintain code quality by enforcing consistent patterns for working with protocol buffers throughout the codebase, reducing potential runtime errors from improper message construction.

* feat(lint): Add custom ESLint rules for protobuf type checking
Add two custom ESLint rules to enforce proper usage patterns when creating protobuf objects.
Using .create() to build protobufs ensures that the protobuf is type checked when it is created. Protobufs created using
object literals are not type checked, which can lead to subtle bugs and type mismatches. The linter rules detect when protobufs are created without using .create() or .fromPartial().
- no-protobuf-object-literals: Enforces the use of `.create()` or `.fromPartial()` methods instead of object literals when creating protobuf types.

* Feat: Display API auto-retry status in chat UI
This commit enhances user experience by providing real-time feedback
on automatic API request retries directly within the chat interface.
When an API request encounters a retriable error (e.g., 429), the UI
will now indicate that a retry is in progress, showing the current
attempt, maximum attempts, and delay until the next attempt.
Key changes:
- Modified the `withRetry` decorator in `src/api/retry.ts` to accept
an `onRetryAttempt` callback. This callback is invoked before each
retry, passing details like attempt number, max retries, delay, and
the error that triggered the retry.
- `Task` (`src/core/task/index.ts`) now provides this callback to API
handlers. It updates the `api_req_started` message in `clineMessages`
with `retryStatus` information and posts the updated state to the
webview. It also clears retry status if retries are exhausted.
- The `ChatRow.tsx` component in the webview UI has been updated to
display this retry status (e.g., "Retrying (attempt X of Y, next in Zs)...").
If retries are exhausted, the standard error display is shown.
- Data structures in `src/shared/` (ExtensionMessage, api, proto/file)
were updated to include `retryStatus` and the `onRetryAttempt` callback.
- Added test code to `GeminiHandler` (`src/api/providers/gemini.ts`) to
simulate 429 errors, allowing for easier testing and verification of
the retry feedback mechanism.

* Stop using google-protobuf npm module to generate JS for protos
The code generated by google-protobuf cannot serialize protos from plain objects. It needs the protos to be class instances created with ProtoExample.create().
But, the protos created in the extension are just POJOs.
Use protoLoader instead which is fine with plain objects.
Protoloader is also the method used in the grpc JS documentation: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/node/basics/#loading-service-descriptors-from-proto-files
* Rm proto that was removed in cline/cline
* Rm old protos when building standalone extension.
* Log gRPC requests
* feat(standalone): implement TypeScript gRPC-based standalone extension
The major improvement is that the gRPC implementation is now written in TypeScript instead of JavaScript, and the standalone extension is compiled together with the original extension rather than using the compiled JS output. This provides full type safety throughout the codebase and prevents issues with the TypeScript compiler renaming handlers during compilation, making the system more robust and maintainable.
- Add new standalone implementation files in src/standalone/ directory using TypeScript
- Implement gRPC server setup in extension-standalone.ts with full type safety
- Generate server setup code with service registrations
- Update build script to support the new standalone architecture
- Reorganize runtime files from standalone/files/ to standalone/runtime-files/
- Replace template-based server generation with gRPC service registration
* Fix issues when doing clean build
Use correct build dir in esbuild.js
Remove undefined type.
* Add handler for gRPC methods with streaming response.
Add a handler-wrapper for rpc's with streaming responses.
Fix issue where grpc-js won't deserialize protos in camelcase. It is the default
for generated code for protos to use camelcase (keepCase: false), but I cannot find
where is being set for the proto serializations to keep the case. For now, just convert the
properties of the proto messages to snake case. This is not a good
solution, but trying to fix this is time sink.

This fix adds the --user-data-dir flag when launching Chrome with the remote debugging port, which resolves the 'Chrome was launched but debug port is not responding' error.

This commit introduces `parseAssistantMessageV2`, a new function designed to parse assistant message strings containing text and XML-like tool usage tags (`<tool_name>...</tool_name>`, `<param_name>...</param_name>`).
Motivation:
The original parser (`V1`) used a character-by-character accumulator, which could lead to performance overhead due to repeated string concatenations and checks (`endsWith`). V2 aims to improve parsing efficiency.
Implementation Details (V2 vs V1):
- V2 iterates through the string using an index and checks for tags using `startsWith` with calculated offsets, avoiding the V1 accumulator.
- It tracks start indices for text, tools, and parameters, performing `slice` operations only when a block is completed or the string ends.
- Known tool and parameter opening tags are precomputed into Maps for potentially faster lookups.
- Special handling for nested tags within `write_to_file`/`new_rule` content parameters is preserved using `indexOf`/`lastIndexOf`.
Other Changes:
- The original parser implementation has been renamed to `parseAssistantMessageV1`.

Single history item deletion is too small and "Delete All History" is

For long term Cline users and Cline devs/testers it would be convenient
to batch deletion these history items.
On `HistoryView` page, this commit add:
1. `CheckBox` for every history item
2. `Select All` & `Deselect All` buttons (work with search filter)
3. `Delete Selected` button for batch deletion (only appears when
item(s) is/are selected)
History task's `onclick` is pointed to `showTaskWithId` for quick
showing this task.
* fix failed ellipsis checking

Add support for custom API request timeout. Previously, timeouts were hardcoded to 30 seconds for providers like Ollama or 15 seconds for OpenRouter and Cline. Now users can set a custom timeout value in milliseconds through the settings interface.
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`).
-**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
serviceUiService{
// ... other RPCs
// Scrolls to a specific settings section in the settings view
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]/`.
The goal of this workflow is to take a changeset for a release of Cline, an autonomous coding agent extension that plugs right into your IDE, and write the updated announcement component, and the updated changelog.
For reference, here are some examples of how we converted previous changesets to announcement components / changelogs.

</changeset-pr-description>
The changeset pr is ALWAYS on the following branch: `changeset-release/main`.
I have the `gh` command line tool set up and authenticated, so you have everything you need.
The first step is to get the full diff from the changeset PR to look at the changes that were automatically made to the `CHANGELOG.md` file. By default it will automatically add a new section to the changelog.md file with the new version. The problem with the automatically generated section is that it just takes the text that the developers threw into their changeset files for each corresponding PR, and they can be pretty vague and bad. Additionally there's some stuff that is totally irrelevant for the end user, like minor refactoring changes. So I manually typically go in and update this section to be a proper changelog that will show up in our patchnotes. You can look at how the rest of the file is done because those are all good examples of us updating this to use good language for the end user. We usually put new features up top (and the most exciting flagship features at the very top), and then bug fixes/improvements at the bottom. Having some basic organization to the ordering of the bullet points by content is nice. But use common sense.
To handle this process effectively, do the following:
For each of the automatically generated bullet points in the Changelog.md, you should
1. Take the commit hash at the start of the bullet point, and use the `gh` command line tool find the PR that it was associated with.
2. Use the `gh` command to get the PR title/description/discussion to understand the context surrounding the PR.
3. Use the `gh` command line tool to get the full PR diff to fully understand the changes made in the code.
4. Synthesize that knowledge to determine (a) whether or not this change is relevant to end users and (b) what the text & ordering of the line should be.
5. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly
Do this for every single item in the list from the autogenerated bullet points. We want to be diligent and have a full understanding of every feature so we can make the best changelog ever!
Here are some principles for good changelogs from keepchangelog.com, a handy guide:
<keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
### Guiding Principles
- Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
- There should be an entry for every single version.
- The same types of changes should be grouped.
- The latest version comes first.
### Bullet points in the changelog should follow these principles:
- Types of changes
- Added for new features.
- Changed for changes in existing functionality.
- Deprecated for soon-to-be removed features.
- Removed for now removed features.
- Fixed for any bug fixes.
- Security in case of vulnerabilities.
</keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
Lastly, when developers make a PR, they typically make a changeset. And they have 3 options when making the changeset:
1. Patch
2. Minor
3. Major
Sometimes they label something as minor when really it should just be a patch. Or vice versa. Because of this, the automatic version bump may be incorrect. So when starting out this workflow, you should use the <ask_followup_question> tool to confirm with me whether or not this should be a patch bump (show the old version number and what the proposed new version number would be) or a minor bump. Part of the release process is making sure the version in package.json that is automatically changed actually corresponds with what we decided the bump should actually be based on the features. ALL these modifications happen in the `changeset-release/main` branch btw.
<important_note>
Before doing any of this, make sure you check out the `changeset-release/main` and pull the most recent up to date changes. Then perform all this work in that branch.
New announcement banners should ONLY be made for minor version bumps or higher. That's another reason why double checking if the changelog warrants the bump is important.
Also, SUPER important: For any external contributors that aren't part of the cline github organization, we always want to add a (Thanks @username!) at the end of the changelog to attribute them properly. We're an open source project and it's ethical to do this.
</important_note>
Once the changelog looks good, and the version number looks good, we gotta double check that the version number in the changelog has the brackets around it. And as a final step, double check the package.json version number matches the latest number in the changelog. And as the ultimate final step we run `npm run install:all` to make sure the package version number permiates through the lock file.
<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
# Cline Release Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
## Before Starting
1. First, examine the changeset PR without checking it out:
```bash
gh pr view changeset-release/main
```
2. View the PR diff to see the auto-generated CHANGELOG.md changes:
# Check if user is a member of the Cline organization
# this command is a bit finnicky, but it 100% works.
# if you see a `Error executing command: The command ran successfully, but we couldn't capture its output. Please proceed accordingly.` error, just retry it until you actually get the output
# don't make any assumptions, just retry the command to actually get the output and determine if they're external or not.
# no output means they are an external contributor, otherwise if there is output they are an internal contributor (part of our github org)
gh api "orgs/cline/members" --jq "map(.login)" | grep -i "pashpashpash"
```
d. View the full PR diff to understand code changes:
```bash
gh pr diff <PR-number> > pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
cat pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
```
## Updating the Changelog
5. Based on PR analysis, update the CHANGELOG.md with user-friendly descriptions:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the CHANGELOG.md file
- Group by feature type (Added, Changed, Fixed)
- Put most exciting features at the top
- Move bug fixes and small improvements to the bottom
- Use clear, end-user focused language
- For external contributors, add attribution at the end of the relevant entry: `(Thanks @username!)`
## Version Number Verification
6. Confirm the version bump is appropriate:
- Check package.json to verify the auto-generated version number:
```bash
cat package.json | grep "\"version\""
```
- If the feature set doesn't warrant a minor bump, use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to modify package.json
7. Ensure the version in CHANGELOG.md has brackets around it:
```
## [3.16.0]
```
## Creating the Announcement (for minor/major versions only)
8. If this is a minor version bump, create/update the announcement component:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the src/views/components/announcement.tsx file
- Update the highlights based on key features
- Move previous version highlights to the "Previous Updates" section
- Use the previous announcement components as reference for structure
## Finalizing the Release
9. Update dependencies with the new version number:
Analyze the current branch's changes against main to provide informed insights and context for development decisions.
## Step 1: Gather Git Information
<important>Do not return any text or conversation other than what is necessary to run these commands</important>
**Run the following command to get the latest changes (bash):**
```bash
B=$(for c in main master origin/main origin/master;do git rev-parse --verify -q "$c" >/dev/null &&echo"$c"&& break;done);B=${B:-HEAD}; r(){ git branch --show-current;printf"=== STATUS ===\n"; git status --porcelain | cat;printf"=== COMMIT MESSAGES ===\n"; git log "$B"..HEAD --oneline | cat;printf"=== CHANGED FILES ===\n"; git diff "$B" --name-only | cat;printf"=== FULL DIFF ===\n"; git diff "$B"| cat;};L=$(r | wc -l);if["$L" -gt 500];then r > cline-git-analysis.temp &&echo"::OUTPUT_FILE=cline-git-analysis.temp";else r;fi
```
```powershell
$B=$null;foreach($cin'main','master','origin/main','origin/master'){gitrev-parse--verify-q$c*>$null;if($LASTEXITCODE-eq0){$B=$c;break}};if(-not$B){$B='HEAD'};functionr([string]$b){gitrev-parse--abbrev-refHEAD;'=== STATUS ===';gitstatus--porcelain|cat;'=== COMMIT MESSAGES ===';gitlog"$b"..HEAD--oneline|cat;'=== CHANGED FILES ===';gitdiff "$b"--name-only|cat;'=== FULL DIFF ===';gitdiff "$b"|cat};$out=r $B|Out-String;$lines=($out-split"`r?`n").Count;if($lines-gt500){$out|Set-Content-NoNewlinecline-git-analysis.temp;'::OUTPUT_FILE=cline-git-analysis.temp'}else{$out}
```
## 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
You have access to the `gh` terminal command. I already authenticated it for you. Please review it to use the PR that I asked you to review. You're already in the `cline` repo.
<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
# GitHub PR Review Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
## 1. Gather PR Information
1. Get the PR title, description, and comments:
```bash
gh pr view <PR-number> --json title,body,comments
```
2. Get the full diff of the PR:
```bash
gh pr diff <PR-number>
```
## 2. Understand the Context
1. Identify which files were modified in the PR:
```bash
gh pr view <PR-number> --json files
```
2. Examine the original files in the main branch to understand the context:
```xml
<read_file>
<path>path/to/file</path>
</read_file>
```
3. For specific sections of a file, you can use search_files:
```xml
<search_files>
<path>path/to/directory</path>
<regex>search term</regex>
<file_pattern>*.ts</file_pattern>
</search_files>
```
## 3. Analyze the Changes
1. For each modified file, understand:
- What was changed
- Why it was changed (based on PR description)
- How it affects the codebase
- Potential side effects
2. Look for:
- Code quality issues
- Potential bugs
- Performance implications
- Security concerns
- Test coverage
## 4. Ask for User Confirmation
1. Before making a decision, ask the user if you should approve the PR, providing your assessment and justification:
```xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>Based on my review of PR #<PR-number>, I recommend [approving/requesting changes]. Here's my justification:
[Detailed justification with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any concerns]
Would you like me to proceed with this recommendation?</question>
<options>["Yes, approve the PR", "Yes, request changes", "No, I'd like to discuss further"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
```
## 5. Ask if User Wants a Comment Drafted
1. After the user decides on approval/rejection, ask if they would like a comment drafted:
```xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>Would you like me to draft a comment for this PR that you can copy and paste?</question>
<options>["Yes, please draft a comment", "No, I'll handle the comment myself"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
```
2. If the user wants a comment drafted, provide a well-structured comment they can copy:
```
Thank you for this PR! Here's my assessment:
[Detailed assessment with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any suggestions]
[Include specific feedback on code quality, functionality, and testing]
The implementation looks promising, but there are a few things to address:
1. Issue one
2. Issue two
Please make these changes and we can merge this.
EOF
```
Note: The `cat << EOF | ... --body-file -` approach preserves all whitespace and formatting without requiring temporary files. The `-` parameter tells the command to read from standard input.

</read_file>
# Look at the ThinkingBudgetSlider component implementation
When reviewing a PR, please talk normally and like a friendly reviwer. You should keep it short, and start out by thanking the author of the pr and @ mentioning them.
Whether or not you approve the PR, you should then give a quick summary of the changes without being too verbose or definitive, staying humble like that this is your understanding of the changes. Kind of how I'm talking to you right now.
If you have any suggestions, or things that need to be changed, request changes instead of approving the PR.
Leaving inline comments in code is good, but only do so if you have something specific to say about the code. And make sure you leave those comments first, and then request changes in the PR with a short comment explaining the overall theme of what you're asking them to change.

This looks great! I like how you've handled the global endpoint support - adding it to the ModelInfo interface makes total sense since it's just another capability flag, similar to how we handle other model features.
The filtered model list approach is clean and will be easier to maintain than hardcoding which models work with global endpoints. And bumping the genai library was obviously needed for this to work.
Thanks for adding the docs about the limitations too - good for users to know they can't use context caches with global endpoints but might get fewer 429 errors.

This is awesome. Thanks @scottsus.
My main concern though - does this work for all the possible VS Code themes? We struggled with this initially which is why it's not super styled currently. Please test and share screenshots with the different themes to make sure before we can merge
</request_changes_comment>
<request_changes_comment>
Hey, the PR looks good overall but I'm concerned about removing those timeouts. Those were probably there for a reason - VSCode's UI can be finicky with timing.
Could you add back the timeouts after focusing the sidebar? Something like:
1 - Adding additional info to the environment variables is fairly problematic because env variables get appended to **every single message**. I don't think this is justifiable for a somewhat niche use case.
2 - Adding this option to settings to include that could be an option, but we want our options to be simple and straightforward for new users
3 - We're working on revisualizing the way our settings page is displayed/organized, and this could potentially be reconciled once that is in and our settings page is more clearly delineated.
So until the settings page is update, and this is added to settings in a way that's clean and doesn't confuse new users, I don't think we can merge this. Please bear with us.
</request_changes_comment>
<request_changes_comment>
Also, don't forget to add a changeset since this fixes a user-facing bug.
The architectural change is solid - moving the focus logic to the command handlers makes sense. Just don't want to introduce subtle timing issues by removing those timeouts.
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:
Screenshots work similarly - the frame provides visual polish and consistency:
```jsx
<Frame>
<imgsrc="/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.
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:
**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.

Meet Cline, an AI assistant that can use your **CLI** a**N**d **E**ditor.
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.

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.
1. Enter your task and add images to convert mockups into functional apps or fix bugs with screenshots.
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.
Cline supports API providers like OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure, and GCP Vertex. You can also configure any OpenAI compatible API, or use a local model through LM Studio/Ollama. If you're using OpenRouter, the extension fetches their latest model list, allowing you to use the newest models as soon as they're available.

Cline supports major cloud providers like AWS Bedrock and Google's Cloud Vertex; whichever your team currently uses is appropriate, and there's no need to change providers to utilize Cline's features.
For the purpose of this document, we assume your organization will use cloud-based frontier models. Cloud inference providers offer cutting-edge capabilities and the flexibility to select models which best suit your needs.
Certain scenarios may warrant using local models, including handling highly sensitive data, applications requiring consistent low-latency responses, or compliance with strict data sovereignty requirements. If your team needs to utilize local models, see [Running Local Models ](/running-models-locally/read-me-first.mdx)with Cline.

#### [AWS Bedrock setup for Legacy IAM (AWS Credentials)](/provider-config/aws-bedrock-with-credentials-authentication)
#### [AWS Bedrock setup for SSO token (AWS Profile)](/provider-config/aws-bedrock-with-profile-authentication)
#### VPC Endpoint Setup
To protect your team's data, Cline supports VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) endpoints, which create private connections between your data and AWS Bedrock. AWS VPCs enhance security by eliminating the need for public IP addresses, network gateways, or complex firewall rules—essentially creating a private highway for data that bypasses the public internet entirely. By keeping traffic within AWS's private network, teams also benefit from lower latency and more predictable performance when accessing services like AWS Bedrock or custom APIs. For those working with confidential information or operating in highly regulated industries like healthcare or finance, VPCs offers the perfect balance between the accessibility of cloud services and the security of private infrastructure.

1. Consult the [AWS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/vpc-interface-endpoints.html) to creating VPC endpoints. This document specifies pre-requisites and describes the syntax used for creating VPC endpoints.
2. Follow the directions for [creating a VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint-aws) in the AWS console. The image below pertains to steps 4 and 5 of the AWS guide linked above.
**Creating standardized project instructions ensures that all team members work within consistent guidelines. Start by documenting your project's technical foundation, then identify which information needs to be included in the instructions. The exact scope will vary depending on your team's needs, but generally it's best to provide as much information as possible. By creating comprehensive instructions that all team members follow, you establish a shared understanding of how code should be written, tested, and deployed across your project, resulting in more maintainable and consistent software.**
---
Here are a few topics and examples to consider for your team's custom instructions:
1. **Testing framework and specific commands**
- "All components must include Jest tests with at least 85% coverage. Run tests using `npm run test:coverage` before submitting any pull request."
2. **Explicit library preferences**
- "Use React Query for data fetching and state management. Avoid Redux unless specifically required for complex global state. For styling, use Tailwind CSS with our custom theme configuration found in `src/styles/theme.js.`"
3. **Where to find documentation**
- "All API documentation is available in our internal Notion workspace under 'Engineering > API Reference'. For component usage examples, refer to our Storybook instance at `https://storybook.internal.company.com`"
4. **Which MCP servers to use, and for which purposes**
- "For database operations, use the Postgres MCP server with credentials stored in 1Password under 'Development > Database'. For deployments, use the AWS MCP server which requires the deployment role from IAM. Refer to `docs/mcp-setup.md` for configuration instructions."
5. **Coding conventions specific to your project**
- "Name all React components using PascalCase and all helper functions using camelCase. Place components in the `src/components` directory organized by feature, not by type. Always use TypeScript interfaces for prop definitions."
**Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers expand Cline's capabilities by providing standardized access to external data sources and executable functions. By implementing MCP servers, LLM tools can dynamically retrieve and incorporate relevant information from both local and remote data sources. This capability ensures that the models operate with the most current and contextually appropriate data, improving the accuracy and relevance of their outputs.**
---
### Secure Architecture Fundamentals
MCP servers follow a client-server architecture where hosts (LLM applications like Cline) initiate connections through a transport layer to MCP servers. This architecture inherently provides security benefits as it maintains clear separation between components. Enterprise deployments should focus on the proper implementation of this architecture to ensure secure operations, particularly regarding the message exchange patterns and connection lifecycle management. For MCP architecture details, see [MCP Architecture](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/architecture), and for latest specifications, see [MCP Specifications](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/).
### Transport Layer Security
For enterprise environments, selecting the appropriate transport mechanism is crucial. While stdio transport works efficiently for local processes, HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport requires additional security measures. TLS should be used for all remote connections whenever possible. This is especially important when MCP servers are deployed across different network segments within corporate infrastructure.
### Message Validation and Access Control
The MCP architecture defines standard error codes and message types (Requests, Results, Errors, and Notifications), providing a structured framework for secure communication. Security teams should consider message validation, sanitizing inputs, checking message size limits, and verifying JSON-RPC format. Additionally, implementing resource protection through access controls, path validation, and request rate limiting helps prevent potential abuse of MCP server capabilities.
### Monitoring and Compliance
For enterprise compliance requirements, implementing comprehensive logging of protocol events, message flows, and errors is essential. The MCP architecture supports diagnostic capabilities including health checks, connection state monitoring, and resource usage tracking. Organizations should extend these capabilities to meet their specific compliance needs, particularly for audit trails of all MCP server interactions and resource access patterns.
By leveraging the client-server design of the MCP architecture and implementing appropriate security controls at each layer, enterprises can safely integrate MCP servers into their environments while maintaining their security posture and meeting regulatory requirements.
#### Cline addresses enterprise security concerns through its unique client-side architecture that prioritizes data privacy, secure cloud integration, and transparent operations. Below is a comprehensive overview of how Cline maintains robust security measures for enterprise environments.
---
### Client-Side Architecture
Cline operates exclusively as a client-side VSCode extension with zero server-side components. This fundamental design choice ensures that your code and data remain within your secure environment at all times. Unlike traditional AI assistants that send data to external servers for processing, Cline connects directly to your chosen cloud provider's AI endpoints, keeping all sensitive information within your infrastructure boundaries.
alt="Cline's relationship to local and remote assets"
/>
</Frame>
### Data Privacy Commitment
Cline implements a strict zero data retention policy, meaning your intellectual property never leaves your secure environment. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit your code to any central servers. This approach significantly reduces potential attack vectors that might otherwise be introduced through data transmission to third-party systems. Telemetry collection is optional and requires explicit consent.
### Cloud Provider Integration
Enterprise teams can access cutting-edge AI models through their existing cloud deployments. Cline supports seamless integration with:
- AWS Bedrock
- Google Cloud Vertex AI
- Microsoft Azure
These integrations utilize your organization's existing security credentials, including native IAM role assumption for AWS. This ensures that all AI processing occurs within your corporate cloud environment, maintaining compliance with your established security protocols.
### Open-Source Transparency
Cline's codebase is completely open-source, allowing for comprehensive security auditing by your internal teams. This transparency enables security professionals to verify exactly how the extension functions and confirm that it adheres to your organization's security requirements. Organizations can review the code to ensure it aligns with their security policies before deployment.
### Controlled Modifications
The extension implements safeguards against unauthorized changes to your codebase. Cline requires explicit user approval for all file modifications and terminal commands, preventing accidental or unwanted alterations. This approval-based workflow maintains the integrity of your projects while still providing AI assistance.
### Enterprise Deployment Support
For organizations with strict security review processes, Cline provides comprehensive documentation including detailed deployment diagrams, sequence diagrams illustrating all data flows, and complete security posture documentation. These materials facilitate thorough security reviews and help demonstrate compliance with enterprise data handling standards and regulations.
### Access Control
Enterprise editions of Cline (planned for Q2 2025) will include centralized administration features that allow organizations to:
- Manage user access with customizable permission levels
- Provision accounts with corporate credentials
- Immediately revoke access when needed
- Control which AI providers and LLM endpoints can be used
- Deploy standardized settings across the organization
- Prevent unauthorized use of personal API keys
### Compliance and Governance
Cline's architecture supports compliance with data sovereignty requirements and enterprise data handling regulations. The planned Enterprise Complete edition will further enhance governance with detailed audit logging, compliance reporting, and automated policy enforcement mechanisms.
By combining client-side processing, direct cloud provider integration, and transparent operations, Cline offers enterprise teams a secure way to leverage AI assistance while maintaining strict control over their sensitive code and data.

### The `new_task` Tool & Context Management Strategies
#### Overview
Cline includes a powerful internal tool, `new_task`, designed to help manage workflow continuity and context preservation, especially during complex or long-running tasks. This tool, combined with Cline's awareness of its own context window usage and the flexibility of `.clinerules`, enables sophisticated strategies for breaking down work and ensuring seamless transitions between task sessions.
Understanding the core capabilities and how they interact with custom rules is key to leveraging this feature effectively.
#### Core Capabilities
Two fundamental capabilities enable advanced context management:
1. **The `new_task` Tool:**
- **Function:** Allows Cline, upon user approval, to end the current task session and immediately start a new one.
- **Context Preloading:** Crucially, Cline can **preload** this new task session with specific context provided within the tool's `<context>` block. This context can be anything Cline or a `.clinerules` file defines – summaries, code snippets, next steps, project state, etc.
2. **Context Window Awareness:**
- **Tracking:** Cline internally tracks the percentage of its available context window currently being used during a task.
- **Visibility:** This information is visible in the `environment_details` provided to Cline in its prompt.
#### Using the `/newtask` Slash Command
As a quick alternative to Cline suggesting the `newtask` tool or defining complex rules, you can directly initiate the process using a Slash Command.
- **How:** Simply type `/newtask` in the chat input field.
- **Action:** Cline will propose creating a new task, typically suggesting context based on the current session (similar to its default behavior when using the tool). You will still get the `ask_followup_question` prompt to confirm and potentially modify the context before the new task is created.
- **Benefit:** Provides a fast, user-initiated way to leverage the `new_task` functionality for branching explorations or managing long sessions without waiting for Cline to suggest it.
<Note>
For more details on using the `/newtask` slash command, see the [New Task Command](/features/slash-commands/new-task)
documentation.
</Note>
#### Default Behavior (Without `.clinerules`)
By default, without specific `.clinerules` dictating its behavior:
- **Tool Availability:** The `new_task` tool exists, and Cline _can_ choose to use it.
- **Context Awareness:** Cline _is_ aware of its context usage percentage.
- **No Automatic Trigger:** Cline **will not** automatically initiate a task handoff _solely_ based on context usage reaching a specific percentage (like 50%). The decision to suggest using `new_task` comes from the AI model's reasoning based on the overall task progress and prompt instructions.
- **Basic Context Preloading:** If `new_task` is used without specific rules defining the `<context>` block structure, Cline will attempt to preload relevant information based on its current understanding (e.g., a basic summary of progress and next steps), but this may be less comprehensive than a rule-driven approach.
#### The Power of `.clinerules`: Enabling Custom Workflows
While the core capabilities exist by default, the true power, automation, and customization emerge when you combine `new_task` and context awareness with custom workflows defined in `.clinerules`. This allows you to precisely control _when_ and _how_ Cline manages context and task continuity.
Key benefits of using `.clinerules` with `new_task`:
- **Automated Context Management:** Define rules to automatically trigger handoffs at specific context percentages (e.g., >50%, >70%) or token counts, ensuring optimal performance and preventing context loss.
- **Model-Specific Optimization:** Tailor handoff triggers based on known thresholds for different LLMs (e.g., trigger earlier for models known to degrade past a certain token count).
- **Intelligent Breakpoints:** Instruct Cline via rules to find logical stopping points (e.g., after completing a function or test) _after_ a context threshold is passed, ensuring cleaner handoffs.
- **Structured Task Decomposition:** Use Plan Mode to define subtasks, then use `.clinerules` to have Cline automatically create a new task via `new_task` upon completing each subtask, preloading the context for the _next_ subtask.
- **Custom Context Packaging:** Mandate the exact structure and content of the `<context>` block in `.clinerules` for highly detailed and consistent handoffs (see example below).
- **Improved Memory Persistence:** Use `new_task` context blocks as a primary, integrated way to persist information across sessions, potentially replacing or supplementing file-based memory systems.
- **Workflow Automation:** Define rules for specific scenarios, like always preloading certain setup instructions or project boilerplate when starting tasks of a particular type.
#### Example Rule-Driven Workflow: Task Handoff Process
A common workflow, **driven by specific `.clinerules` like the example below**, involves these steps:
1. **Trigger Identification (Rule-Based):** Cline monitors for handoff points defined in the rules (e.g., context usage > 50%, task completion).
2. **User Confirmation:** Cline uses `ask_followup_question` to propose creating a new task, often showing the intended context defined by the rules.
```xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>I've completed [specific accomplishment] and context usage is high (XX%). Would you like me to create a new task to continue with [remaining work], preloading the following context?</question>
<options>["Yes, create new task", "Modify context first", "No, continue this session"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
```
3. **User Control:** You can approve, deny, or ask Cline to modify the context before the new task is created.
4. **Context Packaging (`new_task` Tool):** If approved, Cline uses `new_task`, packaging the context according to the structure mandated by the `.clinerules`.
5. **New Task Creation:** The current task ends, and a new session begins immediately, preloaded with the specified context.
#### The Handoff Context Block (Rule-Defined Structure)
The effectiveness of rule-driven handoffs depends heavily on how `.clinerules` define the `<context>` block. A comprehensive structure often includes:
- **`## Completed Work`**: Detailed list of accomplishments, files modified/created, key decisions.
- **`## Current State`**: Project status, running processes, key file states.
- **`## Next Steps`**: Clear, prioritized list of remaining tasks, implementation details, known challenges.
- **`## Reference Information`**: Links, code snippets, patterns, user preferences.
- **Actionable Start:** A clear instruction for the immediate next action.
#### Potential Use Cases & Workflows
The flexibility of `new_task` combined with `.clinerules` opens up many possibilities:
- **Proactive Context Window Management:** Automatically trigger handoffs at specific percentages (e.g., 50%, 70%) or token counts to maintain optimal performance.
- **Intelligent Breakpoints:** Instruct Cline to find logical stopping points (e.g., after completing a function or test) _after_ a context threshold is passed, ensuring cleaner handoffs.
- **Structured Task Decomposition:** Use Plan Mode to define subtasks, then use `.clinerules` to have Cline automatically create a new task via `new_task` upon completing each subtask.
- **Automated Session Summaries:** Configure the `<context>` block to always include a summary of the previous session's key discussion points.
- **Preloading Boilerplate/Setup:** Start new tasks related to specific projects preloaded with standard setup instructions or file templates.
- **"Memory Bank" Alternative:** Use `new_task` context blocks as the primary way to persist information across sessions, potentially replacing file-based memory systems.
Experimenting with `.clinerules` is encouraged to discover workflows that best suit your needs!
#### Example `.clinerules`: Task Handoff Strategy Guide
Below is an example `.clinerules` file focused specifically on using `new_task` for context window management. **Remember, this is just one specific strategy; the core `new_task` tool can be used differently with other custom rules.**

# You MUST use the `new_task` tool: Task Handoff Strategy Guide
**⚠️ CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS - YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES ⚠️**
This guide provides **MANDATORY** instructions for effectively breaking down complex tasks and implementing a smooth handoff process between tasks. You **MUST** follow these guidelines to ensure continuity, context preservation, and efficient task completion.
You **MUST** monitor the context window usage displayed in the environment details. When usage exceeds 50% of the available context window, you **MUST** initiate a task handoff using the `new_task` tool.
Example of context window usage over 50% with a 200K context window:
**IMPORTANT**: When you see context window usage at or above 50%, you MUST:
1. Complete your current logical step
2. Use the `ask_followup_question` tool to offer creating a new task
3. If approved, use the `new_task` tool with comprehensive handoff instructions
## Task Breakdown in Plan Mode - REQUIRED PROCESS
Plan Mode is specifically designed for analyzing complex tasks and breaking them into manageable subtasks. When in Plan Mode, you **MUST**:
### 1. Initial Task Analysis - REQUIRED
- **MUST** begin by thoroughly understanding the full scope of the user's request
- **MUST** identify all major components and dependencies of the task
- **MUST** consider potential challenges, edge cases, and prerequisites
### 2. Strategic Task Decomposition - REQUIRED
- **MUST** break the overall task into logical, discrete subtasks
- **MUST** prioritize subtasks based on dependencies (what must be completed first)
- **MUST** aim for subtasks that can be completed within a single session (15-30 minutes of work)
- **MUST** consider natural breaking points where context switching makes sense
### 3. Creating a Task Roadmap - REQUIRED
- **MUST** present a clear, numbered list of subtasks to the user
- **MUST** explain dependencies between subtasks
- **MUST** provide time estimates for each subtask when possible
- **MUST** use Mermaid diagrams to visualize task flow and dependencies when helpful
\`\`\`mermaid

A --> C[Subtask 2: Core Implementation]
A --> D[Subtask 3: Testing]
A --> E[Subtask 4: Documentation]
B --> C
C --> D
\`\`\`
### 4. Getting User Approval - REQUIRED
- **MUST** ask for user feedback on the proposed task breakdown
- **MUST** adjust the plan based on user priorities or additional requirements
- **MUST** confirm which subtask to begin with
- **MUST** request the user to toggle to Act Mode when ready to implement
## Task Implementation and Handoff Process - MANDATORY PROCEDURES
When implementing tasks in Act Mode, you **MUST** follow these guidelines for effective task handoff:
### 1. Focused Implementation - REQUIRED
- **MUST** focus on completing the current subtask fully
- **MUST** document progress clearly through comments and commit messages
- **MUST** create checkpoints at logical completion points
### 2. Recognizing Completion Points - CRITICAL
You **MUST** identify natural handoff points when:
- The current subtask is fully completed
- You've reached a logical stopping point in a larger subtask
- The implementation is taking longer than expected and can be continued later
- The task scope has expanded beyond the original plan
- **CRITICAL**: The context window usage exceeds 50% (e.g., 100,000+ tokens for a 200K context window)
### 3. Initiating the Handoff Process - MANDATORY ACTION
When you've reached a completion point, you **MUST**:
1. Summarize what has been accomplished so far
2. Clearly state what remains to be done
3. **MANDATORY**: Use the `ask_followup_question` tool to offer creating a new task:
\`\`\`xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>I've completed [specific accomplishment]. Would you like me to create a new task to continue with [remaining work]?</question>
<options>["Yes, create a new task", "No, continue in this session", "Let me think about it"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
\`\`\`
### 4. Creating a New Task with Context - REQUIRED ACTION
If the user agrees to create a new task, you **MUST** use the `new_task` tool with comprehensive handoff instructions:
\`\`\`xml

### Example #2 of an ineffective task handoff:
_(Note: The example provided in the original rules showing "YOLO MODE Implementation" seems less like a direct handoff context block and more like a general status update with future considerations. A true ineffective handoff might lack detail in 'Current State' or 'Next Steps')._
## When to Use Task Handoffs - MANDATORY TRIGGERS
You **MUST** initiate task handoffs in these scenarios:
1. **CRITICAL**: When context window usage exceeds 50% (e.g., 100,000+ tokens for a 200K context window)
2. **Long-running projects** that exceed a single session
3. **Complex implementations** with multiple distinct phases
4. **When context window limitations** are approaching
5. **When switching focus areas** within a larger project
6. **When different expertise** might be beneficial for different parts of the task
**⚠️ FINAL REMINDER - CRITICAL INSTRUCTION ⚠️**
You **MUST** monitor the context window usage in the environment details section. When it exceeds 50% (e.g., "105,000 / 200,000 tokens (53%)"), you **MUST** proactively initiate the task handoff process using the `ask_followup_question` tool followed by the `new_task` tool. You MUST use the `new_task` tool.
By strictly following these guidelines, you'll ensure smooth transitions between tasks, maintain project momentum, and provide the best possible experience for users working on complex, multi-session projects.
```markdown
## User Interaction & Workflow Considerations
- **Linear Flow:** Currently, using `new_task` creates a linear sequence. The old task ends, and the new one begins. The old task history remains accessible for backtracking.
- **User Approval:** You always have control, approving the handoff and having the chance to modify the context Cline proposes to carry forward.
- **Flexibility:** The core `new_task` tool is a flexible building block. Experiment with `.clinerules` to create workflows that best suit your needs, whether for strict context management, task decomposition, or other creative uses.

The Remote Browser feature in Cline allows the AI assistant to interact with web content directly through a controlled browser instance. This enables several powerful capabilities:
- Viewing and interacting with websites
- Testing locally running web applications
- Monitoring console logs and errors
- Performing browser actions like clicking, typing, and scrolling
## Remote Browser in Cline
### What is Remote Browser?
Remote Browser allows Cline to view and interact with websites directly. This feature enables Cline to:
- Visit websites and view their content
- Test your locally running web applications
- Fill out forms and click on elements
- Capture screenshots of what it sees
- Scroll through pages to see more content
### How to Use Remote Browser
#### Basic Commands
You can ask Cline to use the browser with simple instructions:
- **Open a website**: "Use the browser to check the website at [https://example.com](https://example.com/)"
- **Click on elements**: "Click the login button"
- **Type text**: "Type 'Hello world' in the search box"
- **Scroll the page**: "Scroll down to see more content"
- **Close the browser**: "Close the browser now"
#### Example Workflows
**Testing a Web Application:**
```javascript
Can you start my React app with "npm start" and then check if it's working properly at http://localhost:3000?
```
**Analyzing a Website:**
```javascript
Can you visit https://example.com and tell me what you think about its design and layout?
```
**Filling Out a Form:**
```javascript
Please go to https://example.com/contact, fill out the contact form with some test data, and submit it.
```
### Important Things to Know
#### One Browser at a Time
Cline can only use one browser at a time. If you want to visit a different website, you can either:
- Ask Cline to navigate to a new URL within the same browser session
- Ask Cline to close the current browser and open a new one
#### Browser Must Be Closed Before Using Other Tools
If you want Cline to edit files or run commands after using the browser, you must first ask it to close the browser:
```javascript
Close the browser and then update the CSS file to fix the alignment issue we saw.
```
#### What Cline Sees
The browser has a fixed viewport size (900x600 pixels by default), similar to a small laptop screen. Cline will share screenshots after each action so you can see exactly what it sees.
#### Console Logs
Cline captures browser console logs, which can be helpful for debugging web applications. These logs are included with each screenshot.
### Common Use Cases
- **Web Development**: Test your websites and web applications
- **UI/UX Review**: Get feedback on website design and usability
- **Content Research**: Have Cline browse websites to gather information
- **Form Testing**: Verify that forms work correctly
- **Responsive Design Testing**: Check how websites look at different screen sizes
### Troubleshooting
- **If a website doesn't load**: Try providing a direct URL with the http:// or https:// prefix
- **If clicking doesn't work**: Try describing the location of the element more precisely
- **If the browser seems stuck**: Ask Cline to close the browser and try again
### Using Remote Browser with VS Code in WSL
When running VS Code in WSL, you'll need to configure Windows to allow WSL to connect to Chrome. Follow these steps:
File mentions let you pull any file from your workspace directly into your conversation with Cline. No more copying and pasting code snippets - just type `@/` and point to the file you need help with.
When you type `@/` in the chat, Cline shows your workspace files. Navigate through folders, select the file you want, and it's instantly available to Cline - complete with all imports, related functions, and surrounding context.
I use file mentions constantly when debugging. Instead of trying to figure out which parts of my code to copy over, I just reference the file directly:
```
I'm getting this error when my form submits: @terminal
Here's my component: @/src/components/ContactForm.jsx
And the API endpoint: @/src/api/contact.js
What am I missing?
```
This gives Cline everything it needs - the error message, the component code, and the API endpoint - all without me having to copy anything. Cline can see imports, dependencies, and all the surrounding context that might be causing the issue.
File mentions shine when you're dealing with complex bugs that span multiple files. Before, I'd have to carefully copy each relevant file, making sure I didn't miss anything important. Now I just reference each file with `@/` and Cline gets the complete picture.
Next time you're stuck on a problem, try using file mentions instead of copying code. You'll save time and get better answers because Cline has all the context it needs.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use a file mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@/path/to/file` pattern in your text
2. The extension resolves the file path relative to your workspace root
3. It checks if the file is binary (like an image) or text-based
4. For text files, it reads the complete file content
5. The file content is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<file_content path="path/to/file">
[Complete file content]
</file_content>
```
6. This enhanced message with the embedded file content is sent to the AI
7. The AI can now "see" the complete file content as if you had copied and pasted it
This seamless process happens automatically whenever you use a file mention, giving the AI full context without you having to manually copy anything.
Folder mentions let you bring entire directories into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@/` followed by a folder path ending with a slash, and Cline gets access to the folder structure and its contents.
When you type `@/` in chat, Cline shows your workspace files and folders. Navigate to the folder you want, make sure to include the trailing slash, and Cline will see the folder's structure and contents.
I use folder mentions when I need help understanding or refactoring a whole section of my codebase. Instead of referencing individual files one by one, I can just point to the entire directory:
```
I'm trying to understand how the authentication flow works in my app.
Can you explain the structure and relationships between the files in @/src/auth/?
```
Cline can then see all the files in the auth directory, their contents, and how they relate to each other. This gives it the full context to explain complex interactions between multiple files.
Folder mentions are also perfect for getting help with project organization. When I'm unsure if my project structure makes sense, I'll ask Cline to review it:
```
I'm setting up a new React project. Does this folder structure make sense? @/src/
What would you change to make it more maintainable as the project grows?
```
Next time you're working with multiple related files, try using folder mentions instead of referencing each file individually. You'll get more comprehensive help because Cline can see the bigger picture of how everything fits together.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use a folder mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@/path/to/folder/` pattern (with trailing slash) in your text
2. The extension resolves the folder path relative to your workspace root
3. It calls `fs.readdir()` to get a list of all files and subdirectories in that folder
4. For each file in the directory, it checks if it's binary or text-based
5. For text files, it extracts the complete content
6. The folder structure and file contents are appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<folder_content path="path/to/folder">
├── file1.txt
├── file2.js
└── subfolder/
<file_content path="path/to/folder/file1.txt">
[File content]
</file_content>
<file_content path="path/to/folder/file2.js">
[File content]
</file_content>
</folder_content>
```
7. This enhanced message with the embedded folder structure and file contents is sent to the AI
8. The AI can now "see" both the directory structure and the content of files within that directory
This process happens automatically whenever you use a folder mention, giving the AI a comprehensive view of your project structure and file contents.
Git mentions let you bring your repository's history and changes directly into your conversation with Cline. You can reference uncommitted changes with `@git-changes` or specific commits with `@[commit-hash]`.
When you type `@` in chat, you can select "Git Changes" from the menu or type `@git-changes` directly. For specific commits, type `@` followed by the commit hash (at least 7 characters). Cline will immediately see the git status, diffs, commit messages, and other relevant information.
I use git mentions constantly when I'm trying to understand code changes or troubleshoot issues introduced by recent commits. Instead of trying to copy and paste diffs or commit logs, I just ask:
```
I think this commit broke our authentication flow: @a1b2c3d
Can you explain what changed and why it might be causing the issue?
```
This gives Cline the complete commit information, including the commit message, author, date, and the full diff. Cline can then analyze exactly what changed and how it might affect other parts of the codebase.
The `@git-changes` mention is perfect when you're working on changes and want feedback before committing:
```
Here are my current changes: @git-changes
I'm trying to implement a new feature for user profiles. Does my approach make sense?
Are there any potential issues or improvements you'd suggest?
```
This shows Cline all your uncommitted changes, including new files, modified files, and their diffs. Cline can then review your changes and provide feedback on your implementation.
Git mentions are especially powerful when combined with file mentions. When I'm investigating a bug, I'll often reference both:
```
I think this commit introduced a bug: @a1b2c3d
Here's the current implementation: @/src/components/Auth.jsx
How can I fix the issue while preserving the intended functionality?
```
Next time you're working with code changes or investigating issues, try using git mentions instead of manually describing or copying changes. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see exactly what changed and in what context.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use git mentions in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
### For Git Changes (`@git-changes`)
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@git-changes` pattern in your text
2. The extension runs git commands to get the current working state of your repository
3. It captures the output of `git status` and `git diff` to see all uncommitted changes
4. This information is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<git_working_state>
On branch main
Changes not staged for commit:
modified: src/components/Button.jsx
modified: src/styles/main.css
[Complete diff output with all changes]
</git_working_state>
```
### For Specific Commits (`@[commit-hash]`)
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@` followed by a commit hash pattern
2. The extension runs `git show` and related commands to get information about that commit
3. It retrieves the commit message, author, date, and the complete diff
4. This information is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<git_commit hash="a1b2c3d">
commit a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t
Author: Developer Name <dev@example.com>
Date: Mon May 20 14:30:45 2025 -0700
Fix authentication bug in login form
[Complete diff output showing all changes in the commit]
</git_commit>
```
This process happens automatically whenever you use git mentions, giving the AI complete visibility into your code changes without you having to copy and paste diffs or commit logs.
@ mentions are one of Cline's most powerful features, letting you seamlessly bring external context into your conversations. Instead of copying and pasting code, error messages, or documentation, you can simply reference them with an @ symbol.
When you type `@` in the chat input, Cline shows a menu of available mention types. These mentions let you reference files, folders, problems, terminal output, git changes, and even web content directly in your conversations.
## Available @ Mentions
Cline supports several types of @ mentions, each designed to bring different kinds of context into your conversations:
Reference web content with `@https://example.com`. Cline fetches and sees the complete webpage content, perfect for
referencing documentation or GitHub issues.
</Card>
</Columns>
## Why @ Mentions Matter
@ mentions transform how you interact with Cline by:
1. **Eliminating copy-paste**: No more copying and pasting code, error messages, or terminal output. Just reference them directly.
2. **Preserving context**: Cline sees the complete context, including imports, related functions, and surrounding code that might be relevant.
3. **Maintaining formatting**: Terminal output, error messages, and web content keep their formatting, making them easier to understand.
4. **Enabling complex workflows**: Combine multiple @ mentions to give Cline a complete picture of your problem:
```
I'm getting these errors: @problems
Here's my component: @/src/components/Form.jsx
And the API endpoint: @/src/api/users.js
The error happens when I submit: @terminal
I think this commit might have caused it: @a1b2c3d
```
## Getting Started
To use @ mentions:
1. Type `@` in the chat input
2. Select the type of mention from the menu or continue typing
3. For files and folders, navigate through your workspace structure
4. Send your message as usual
Cline will automatically process the mentions and include the referenced content in the context sent to the AI.
Try using @ mentions in your next conversation with Cline - you'll be amazed at how much more efficient and effective your interactions become when you can seamlessly bring in external context.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use @ mentions in your messages, there's a sophisticated process happening behind the scenes:
1. **Detection**: When you send a message, Cline scans the text for @ mention patterns using regular expressions
2. **Processing**: For each detected mention, Cline:
- Determines the mention type (file, folder, problems, terminal, git, URL)
- Fetches the relevant content (file contents, terminal output, etc.)
- Formats the content appropriately
3. **Enhancement**: The original message is enhanced with structured data:
```
Your original message with @/path/to/file
<file_content path="/path/to/file">
[Complete file content]
</file_content>
```
4. **Context Inclusion**: This enhanced message with all the embedded content is sent to the AI model
5. **Seamless Response**: The AI can now "see" all the referenced content as if you had manually copied and pasted it
This entire process happens automatically and seamlessly whenever you use @ mentions, giving the AI complete context without you having to manually copy anything.
Each type of @ mention has its own specific implementation details, which you can find in their respective documentation pages.
The problems mention gives Cline instant access to all the errors and warnings in your workspace. Just type `@problems` and Cline can see every diagnostic issue VSCode has detected.
When you type `@` in chat, select "Problems" from the menu or just type `@problems` directly. Cline will immediately see all the errors and warnings from your workspace, complete with file locations and error messages.
I use the problems mention constantly when I'm stuck on build errors or TypeScript issues. Instead of trying to describe the errors or copy them one by one, I just ask:
```
I'm getting these TypeScript errors and I'm not sure how to fix them: @problems
Can you help me understand what's wrong and how to fix it?
```
This gives Cline the complete list of errors with their exact locations and messages. Cline can then analyze the patterns across multiple errors and suggest comprehensive solutions.
The problems mention is especially powerful when combined with file mentions. When I'm dealing with complex type errors, I'll reference both:
```
I'm getting these type errors: @problems
Here's my component: @/src/components/DataTable.tsx
And the types file: @/src/types/api.ts
How can I fix these issues?
```
This approach gives Cline everything it needs - the exact errors, the component code, and the type definitions - all without me having to copy anything manually.
Next time you're stuck on errors, try using `@problems` instead of copying error messages. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete error context and locations.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use the problems mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@problems` pattern in your text
2. The extension calls VSCode's built-in `vscode.languages.getDiagnostics()` API to get all errors and warnings
3. It formats these diagnostics into a structured text representation with file paths, line numbers, and error messages
4. The formatted problems list is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<workspace_diagnostics>
/path/to/file.js:10:5 - error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'.
/path/to/file.js:15:3 - warning: This variable is never used.
</workspace_diagnostics>
```
5. This enhanced message with the embedded diagnostics is sent to the AI
6. The AI can now "see" all the errors and warnings in your workspace, complete with their locations and messages
This process happens automatically whenever you use the problems mention, giving the AI a comprehensive view of all the issues in your workspace without you having to copy them manually.
The terminal mention lets you bring your terminal output directly into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@terminal` and Cline can see the recent output from your terminal.
When you type `@` in chat, select "Terminal" from the menu or just type `@terminal` directly. Cline will immediately see the recent output from your active terminal, including error messages, build logs, or command results.
I use the terminal mention all the time when I'm dealing with build errors, test failures, or debugging output. Instead of trying to copy and paste terminal output (which often loses formatting), I just ask:
```
I'm getting this error when running my tests: @terminal
What's causing this and how can I fix it?
```
This gives Cline the complete terminal output with all its formatting intact. Cline can then analyze the error messages, stack traces, and surrounding context to provide more accurate help.
The terminal mention is especially powerful when combined with file mentions. When I'm debugging a failed API call, I'll reference both:
```
I'm getting this error when calling my API: @terminal
Here's my API client code: @/src/api/client.js
And the endpoint implementation: @/src/server/routes/users.js
What am I doing wrong?
```
This approach gives Cline everything it needs - the exact error output, the client code, and the server implementation - all without me having to copy anything manually.
Next time you're running into issues with command output or build errors, try using `@terminal` instead of copying the output. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete terminal context with proper formatting.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use the terminal mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@terminal` pattern in your text
2. The extension calls `getLatestTerminalOutput()` which accesses VSCode's terminal API
3. It captures the recent output buffer from your active terminal
4. The terminal output is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<terminal_output>
$ npm run test
> project@1.0.0 test
> jest
FAIL src/components/__tests__/Button.test.js
● Button component › renders correctly
[Complete terminal output with formatting preserved]
</terminal_output>
```
5. This enhanced message with the embedded terminal output is sent to the AI
6. The AI can now "see" the complete terminal output with all formatting preserved
This process happens automatically whenever you use the terminal mention, giving the AI access to your command results, error messages, and other terminal output without you having to copy it manually.
## Troubleshooting Terminal Issues
If you're experiencing issues with terminal mentions or terminal integration in general (such as "Shell Integration Unavailable" or commands not showing output), please refer to our comprehensive [Terminal Integration Troubleshooting Guide](/troubleshooting/terminal-integration-guide).
Common issues include:
- Terminal mentions not capturing output
- "Shell Integration Unavailable" messages in Cline chat
- Commands executing but output not visible to Cline
- Terminal integration working inconsistently
The troubleshooting guide provides platform-specific solutions and detailed configuration steps to resolve these issues.
URL mentions let you bring web content directly into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@` followed by any URL, and Cline can see the content of that webpage without you having to copy and paste anything.
When you type `@` in chat followed by a URL (like `@https://example.com`), Cline will fetch the content of that webpage and include it in the context. This works for documentation pages, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow questions, or any other web content you want to reference.
I use URL mentions constantly when I'm working with external APIs or libraries. Instead of trying to explain how an API works or copying documentation snippets, I just reference the docs directly:
```
I'm trying to implement authentication with this API: @https://api.example.com/docs/auth
Can you help me write the code to get an access token based on these docs?
```
This gives Cline the complete documentation page, so it can see all the authentication requirements, endpoints, parameters, and examples. Cline can then provide more accurate and comprehensive help based on the official documentation.
URL mentions are especially useful for referencing GitHub issues or discussions:
```
I'm trying to fix this issue in our project: @https://github.com/our-org/our-repo/issues/123
Here's my current implementation: @/src/components/Feature.jsx
What changes do I need to make to address the issue?
```
This shows Cline the complete GitHub issue, including the description, comments, and any code snippets or screenshots. Cline can then help you implement a solution that directly addresses the reported issue.
Next time you're working with external documentation or online resources, try using URL mentions instead of copying and pasting content. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete context of the webpage, including formatting, code examples, and surrounding information.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use a URL mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@http://...` or `@https://...` pattern in your text
2. The extension launches a headless browser (Puppeteer) in the background
3. It navigates to the URL and waits for the page to load completely
4. The browser captures the page content, including text, formatting, and code examples
5. The content is converted to a Markdown format that preserves the structure
6. This content is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<url_content url="https://example.com/docs">
# Example API Documentation
## Authentication
To authenticate with the API, you need to...
const token = await api.authenticate({
username: 'user',
password: 'pass'
});
[Complete webpage content in Markdown format]
</url_content>
```
7. The browser is then closed to free up resources
8. This enhanced message with the embedded webpage content is sent to the AI
This process happens automatically whenever you use a URL mention, giving the AI access to the complete content of the webpage without you having to copy and paste anything.
