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

+# Git Diff Analysis Workflow
+
+## Objective
+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=$null;foreach($c in 'main','master','origin/main','origin/master'){git rev-parse --verify -q $c *> $null;if($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0){$B=$c;break}};if(-not $B){$B='HEAD'};function r([string]$b){git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD; '=== STATUS ==='; git status --porcelain | cat; '=== COMMIT MESSAGES ==='; git log "$b"..HEAD --oneline | cat; '=== CHANGED FILES ==='; git diff "$b" --name-only | cat; '=== FULL DIFF ==='; git diff "$b" | cat};$out=r $B|Out-String;$lines=($out -split "`r?`n").Count;if($lines -gt 500){$out|Set-Content -NoNewline cline-git-analysis.temp; '::OUTPUT_FILE=cline-git-analysis.temp'}else{$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

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

+## Before Contributing
+
+All contributions must begin with a GitHub Issue, unless the change is for small bug fixes, typo corrections, minor wording improvements, or simple type fixes that don't change functionality.
+**For features and contributions**:
+- First check the [Feature Requests discussions board](https://github.com/cline/cline/discussions/categories/feature-requests) for similar ideas
+- If your idea is new, create a new feature request  
+- Wait for approval from core maintainers before starting implementation
+- Once approved, feel free to begin working on a PR with the help of our community!
+
+**PRs without approved issues may be closed.**

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

+
+1. Clone the repository _(Requires [git-lfs](https://git-lfs.com/))_:
+    ```bash
+    git clone https://github.com/cline/cline.git
+    ```
+2. Open the project in VSCode:
+    ```bash
+    code cline
+    ```
+3. Install the necessary dependencies for the extension and webview-gui:
+    ```bash
+    npm run install:all
+    ```
+4. Launch by pressing `F5` (or `Run`->`Start Debugging`) to open a new VSCode window with the extension loaded. (You may need to install the [esbuild problem matchers extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=connor4312.esbuild-problem-matchers) if you run into issues building the project.)

+
+
+### Creating a Pull Request
+
+1. Before creating a PR, generate a changeset entry:
+    ```bash
+    npm run changeset
+    ```
+   This will prompt you for:
+   - Type of change (major, minor, patch)
+     - `major` → breaking changes (1.0.0 → 2.0.0)
+     - `minor` → new features (1.0.0 → 1.1.0)
+     - `patch` → bug fixes (1.0.0 → 1.0.1)
+   - Description of your changes
+
+2. Commit your changes and the generated `.changeset` file
+
+3. Push your branch and create a PR on GitHub. Our CI will:
+   - Run tests and checks
+   - Changesetbot will create a comment showing the version impact
+   - When merged to main, changesetbot will create a Version Packages PR
+   - When the Version Packages PR is merged, a new release will be published

 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.

+title: "Automatic Context Summarization"
+sidebarTitle: "Auto Compact"
+---
+
+When your conversation approaches the model's context window limit, Cline automatically summarizes it to free up space and keep working. 
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/condensing.png"
+		alt="Auto-compact feature condensing conversation context"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+## How It Works
+
+Cline monitors token usage during your conversation. When you're getting close to the limit, he:
+
+1. Creates a comprehensive summary of everything that's happened
+2. Preserves all the technical details, code changes, and decisions
+3. Replaces the conversation history with the summary
+4. Continues exactly where he left off
+
+You'll see a summarization tool call when this happens, showing the total cost like any other api call in the chat view.
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+Previously, Cline would truncate older messages when hitting context limits. This meant losing important context from earlier in the conversation.
+
+Now with summarization:
+- All technical decisions and code patterns are preserved
+- File changes and project context remain intact
+- Cline remembers everything he's done
+- You can work on much larger projects without interruption
+
+<Tip>
+Context Summarization synergizes beautifully with [Focus Chain](/features/focus-chain). When Focus Chain is enabled, todo lists persist across summarizations. This means Cline can work on long-horizon tasks that span multiple context windows while staying on track with the todo list guiding him through each reset.
+</Tip>
+
+## Technical Details
+
+The summarization happens through your configured API provider using the same model you're already using. It leverages prompt caching to minimize costs.
+
+1. Cline uses a [summarization prompt](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/contextManagement.ts) to request a summary of the conversation.
+
+2. Once the summary is generated, Cline replaces the conversation history with a [continuation prompt](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/contextManagement.ts#L69) that asks Cline to keep working and provides the summary as context.
+
+Different models have different context window thresholds for when auto-summarization kicks in. You can see how thresholds are determined in [context-window-utils.ts](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/context/context-management/context-window-utils.ts). 
+
+## Cost Considerations
+
+Summarization leverages your existing prompt cache from the conversation, so it costs about the same as any other tool call.
+
+Since most input tokens are already cached, you're primarily paying for the summary generation (output tokens), making it very cost-effective.
+
+## Restoring Context with Checkpoints
+
+You can use [checkpoints](/features/checkpoints) to restore your task state from before a summarization occurred. This means you never truly lose context - you can always roll back to previous versions of your conversation. 
+
+<Note>
+  Editing a message before a summarization tool call will work similarly to a checkpoint, allowing you to restore the conversation to that point.
+</Note>
+
+## Next Generation Model Support
+
+Auto Compact uses advanced LLM-based summarization which we've found works significantly better for next-generation models. We currently support this feature for the following models:
+
+- **Claude 4 series**
+- **Gemini 2.5 series**
+- **GPT-5**
+- **Grok 4**
+
+<Note>
+When using other models, Cline automatically falls back to the standard rule-based context truncation method, even if Auto Compact is enabled in settings.

+</Frame>
+
+When you use `/deep-planning`, Cline follows a four-step process that mirrors how senior developers approach complex features: thorough investigation, discussion & clarification of requirements, detailed planning, and structured task creation with progress tracking.
+
+## The Four-Step Process
+
+### Step 1: Silent Investigation
+
+Cline becomes a detective, silently exploring your codebase to understand its structure, patterns, and constraints. He examines source files, analyzes import patterns, discovers class hierarchies, and identifies technical debt markers. No commentary, no narration - just focused research.
+
+During this phase, Cline runs commands like:
+- Finding all class and function definitions across your codebase
+- Analyzing import patterns to understand dependencies
+- Discovering project structure and file organization
+- Identifying TODOs and technical debt
+
+### Step 2: Discussion and Questions
+
+Once Cline understands your codebase, he asks targeted questions that will shape the implementation. These aren't generic questions - they're specific to your project and the feature you're building.
+
+Questions might cover:
+- Clarifying ambiguous requirements
+- Choosing between equally valid implementation approaches
+- Confirming assumptions about system behavior
+- Understanding preferences for technical decisions
+
+### Step 3: Implementation Plan Document
+
+Cline creates a structured markdown document (`implementation_plan.md`) that serves as your implementation blueprint. This isn't a vague outline - it's a detailed specification with exact file paths, function signatures, and implementation order.
+
+The plan includes eight comprehensive sections:
+- **Overview**: The goal and high-level approach
+- **Types**: Complete type definitions and data structures
+- **Files**: Exact files to create, modify, or delete
+- **Functions**: New and modified functions with signatures
+- **Classes**: Class modifications and inheritance details
+- **Dependencies**: Package requirements and versions
+- **Testing**: Validation strategies and test requirements
+- **Implementation Order**: Step-by-step execution sequence
+
+### Step 4: Implementation Task Creation
+
+Cline creates a new task that references the plan document and includes trackable implementation steps. The task comes with specific commands to read each section of the plan, ensuring the implementing agent (whether that's you or Cline in Act Mode) can navigate the blueprint efficiently.
+
+<Tip>
+  Deep Planning works beautifully with [Focus Chain](/features/focus-chain). The implementation steps automatically become a todo list with real-time progress tracking, keeping complex projects organized and on track.
+</Tip>
+
+## Using Deep Planning
+
+Start a deep planning session by typing `/deep-planning` followed by your feature description:
+
+```
+/deep-planning Add user authentication with JWT tokens and role-based access control
+```
+
+Cline will begin his investigation immediately. You'll see him reading files and running commands to understand your codebase. Once he's gathered enough context, he'll engage you in discussion before creating the plan.
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+Here's how I use `/deep-planning` for a real feature:
+
+<Steps>
+  <Step title="Initiate Planning">
+    I type `/deep-planning implement a caching layer for API responses`
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Silent Investigation">
+    Cline explores my codebase, examining:
+    - Current API structure and endpoints
+    - Existing data flow patterns
+    - Database queries and performance bottlenecks
+    - Configuration and environment setup
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Targeted Discussion">
+    Cline asks me:
+    - "Should we use Redis or in-memory caching?"
+    - "What's the acceptable cache staleness for user data?"
+    - "Do you need cache invalidation webhooks?"
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Plan Creation">
+    Cline generates `implementation_plan.md` with:
+    - Cache service class specifications
+    - Redis connection configuration
+    - Modified API endpoints with caching logic
+    - Cache key generation strategies
+    - TTL configurations for different data types
+  </Step>
+  <Step title="Task Generation">
+    Cline creates a new task with:
+    - Reference to the implementation plan
+    - Commands to read specific sections
+    - Trackable todo items for each implementation step
+    - Request to switch to Act Mode for execution
+  </Step>
+</Steps>
+
+## Integration with Plan/Act Mode
+
+Deep Planning is designed to work seamlessly with [Plan/Act Mode](/features/plan-and-act):
+
+- Use `/deep-planning` in Plan Mode for the investigation and planning phases
+- The generated task requests switching to Act Mode for implementation
+- Focus Chain automatically tracks progress through the implementation steps
+
+This separation ensures planning stays focused on architecture while implementation stays focused on execution.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### When to Use Deep Planning
+
+Use `/deep-planning` for:
+- Features touching multiple parts of your codebase
+- Architectural changes requiring careful coordination
+- Complex integrations with external services
+- Refactoring efforts that need systematic execution
+- Any feature where you'd normally spend time whiteboarding
+
+### Making the Most of Investigation
+
+Let Cline complete his investigation thoroughly. The quality of the plan directly correlates with how well he understands your codebase. If you have specific areas he should examine, mention them in your initial request.
+
+### Reviewing the Plan
+
+Always review `implementation_plan.md` before starting implementation. The plan is comprehensive but not immutable - you can edit it directly if needed. Think of it as a collaborative document between you and Cline.
+
+### Tracking Progress
+
+With Focus Chain enabled, your implementation progress displays in the task header. Each completed step gets checked off automatically as Cline works through the plan, giving you real-time visibility into complex implementations.
+
+## Inspiration
+
+I use `/deep-planning` whenever I'm about to build something that would normally require a design document. Recent examples from my workflow:
+
+- **Migrating authentication systems**: Deep Planning mapped every endpoint, identified all authentication touchpoints, and created a migration plan that avoided breaking changes.
+
+- **Adding real-time features**: The plan covered WebSocket integration, event handling, state synchronization, and fallback mechanisms for disconnections.
+
+- **Database schema refactoring**: Cline identified all affected queries, created migration scripts, and planned the rollout to minimize downtime.
+
+- **API versioning implementation**: The plan detailed route changes, backward compatibility layers, deprecation notices, and client migration paths.
+
+The power of `/deep-planning` is that it forces thoughtful architecture before implementation. It's like having a senior developer review your approach before you write code, except that developer has perfect knowledge of your entire codebase.
+
+<Note>
+  Deep Planning requires models with strong reasoning capabilities. It works best with the latest generation of models, like GPT-5, Claude 4, Gemini 2.5, or Grok 4. Smaller models may struggle with the comprehensive analysis required.
+</Note>
+
+For simpler tasks that don't require extensive planning, consider using [/newtask](/features/slash-commands/new-task) to create focused tasks with context, or jump straight into implementation if the path forward is clear.

+
+Cline for JetBrains works almost identically to Cline in VSCode. All the core features work properly: diff editing, using tools, logging in with different providers, MCP servers, Cline rules and workflows, and more.
+

+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/jetbrains-demo-hifi.gif"
+		alt="Cline running in JetBrains IDE showing AI assistance"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+<Note>Cline for JetBrains is currently in alpha. While all core features are functional, you may encounter occasional issues.</Note>
+
+## Installation
+
+Since Cline for JetBrains is currently in alpha, it's not yet available on the JetBrains Marketplace. You'll need to install it manually from a downloaded file:
+
+### Manual Installation from Disk
+
+1. **Download the Plugin:**
+   - Go to [https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28247-cline/versions/stable](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/28247-cline/versions/stable)
+   - Click **Download** to get the `.zip` file
+

+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/cline-jetbrains-marketplace-download.png"
+		alt="JetBrains plugin marketplace showing Cline download page"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+2. **Install from Disk:**
+   - Open your JetBrains IDE
+   - Go to **IntelliJ IDEA** (or whichever IDE you are in) → **Settings**
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/cline-jetbrains-settings.png"
+		alt="JetBrains IDE settings dialog"
+	/>

+		alt="File selection dialog showing Cline plugin zip file"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+   - Restart your IDE when prompted
+
+## Getting Started with Cline
+
+After installation, you'll find Cline in your IDE:
+
+1. **Open Cline:**
+   - Look for the Cline tool window (usually on the right side)
+   - Or go to **View** → **Tool Windows** → **Cline**
+
+2. **Sign In (optional, BYOK is also available):**
+   - Click **Sign In** in the Cline panel
+   - You'll be taken to [app.cline.bot](https://app.cline.bot) to create your account
+   - No credit card needed to get started with free credits
+
+3. **Start Coding:**
+   - Try this first prompt: "Hey Cline! Can you help me create a simple Hello World program in this project?"
+
+## Key Differences from VSCode
+
+While Cline for JetBrains includes all the same powerful features, there's one important difference to be aware of:
+
+**Terminal Integration:** The terminal inside JetBrains isn't integrated with Cline the same way it is in VSCode. Cline can execute commands, but the output will only appear in the webview if you expand the **Command Output** section.
+
+This means:
+- Commands still run successfully
+- You can see the output by clicking to expand Command Output in the chat
+- Terminal commands work the same way, just with a different display
+
+## What Works
+
+Everything else works exactly like VSCode:
+
+- **Diff Editing:** Cline can read, write, and edit files with the same precision
+- **Tool Usage:** All of Cline's tools (file operations, web browsing, etc.) work identically  
+- **API Providers:** Connect to Anthropic, OpenAI, local models, and more
+- **MCP Servers:** Full support for Model Context Protocol servers
+- **Cline Rules:** Custom instructions and workflows work the same way
+- **@ Mentions:** Reference files, folders, problems, and more
+- **Drag & Drop:** Add files and images to conversations
+
+## Tips for JetBrains Users
+
+- **Project Context:** Cline automatically understands your project structure, just like in VSCode
+- **Language Support:** Cline works with any language your JetBrains IDE supports
+- **Debugging Help:** Share error messages and stack traces directly in the chat
+- **Code Review:** Ask Cline to review your code changes before committing
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you don't see the Cline tool window after installation:
+- Restart your IDE completely
+- Check **View** → **Tool Windows** → **Cline**
+- Ensure the plugin is enabled in **Settings** → **Plugins**
+
+Having other issues? Join our [Discord community](https://discord.gg/cline) for help from the team and other users.
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Now that you have Cline installed, you might want to:
+- Learn about [model selection](/getting-started/model-selection-guide) to choose the best AI provider
+- Explore [@ mentions](/features/at-mentions/overview) to reference files and context efficiently  
+- Set up [Cline rules](/features/cline-rules) for your specific workflow
+- Try [MCP servers](/mcp/mcp-overview) to extend Cline's capabilities

-## Understanding Context Windows
+New models drop constantly, so this guide focuses on what's working well with Cline right now. We'll keep it updated as the landscape shifts.
 
-Think of a context window as your AI assistant's working memory - similar to RAM in a computer. It determines how much information the model can "remember" and process at once during your conversation. This includes:
+## Current Top Models
 
--   Your code files and conversations
--   The assistant's responses
--   Any documentation or additional context provided
+| Model | Context Window | Input Price* | Output Price* | Best For |
+|-------|---------------|--------------|---------------|----------|
+| **Claude Sonnet 4** | 1M tokens | $3-6 | $15-22.50 | Reliable tool usage, complex codebases |
+| **Qwen3 Coder** | 256K tokens | $0.20 | $0.80 | Coding tasks, open source flexibility |
+| **Gemini 2.5 Pro** | 1M+ tokens | TBD | TBD | Large codebases, document analysis |
+| **GPT-5** | 400K tokens | $1.25 | $10 | Latest OpenAI tech, three modes |
 
-Context windows are measured in tokens (roughly 3/4 of a word in English). Different models have different context window sizes:
+*Per million tokens
 
--   Claude 3.5 Sonnet: 200K tokens
--   DeepSeek Models: 128K tokens
--   Gemini Flash 2.0: 1M tokens
--   Gemini 1.5 Pro: 2M tokens
+## Budget Options
 
-When you reach the limit of your context window, older information needs to be removed to make room for new information - just like clearing RAM to run new programs. This is why sometimes AI assistants might seem to "forget" earlier parts of your conversation.
+| Model | Context Window | Input Price* | Output Price* | Notes |
+|-------|---------------|--------------|---------------|-------|
+| **DeepSeek V3** | 128K tokens | $0.14 | $0.28 | Great value for daily coding |
+| **DeepSeek R1** | 128K tokens | $0.55 | $2.19 | Budget reasoning champion |
+| **Qwen3 32B** | 128K tokens | Varies | Varies | Open source, multiple providers |
+| **Z AI GLM 4.5** | 128K tokens | TBD | TBD | MIT licensed, hybrid reasoning |
 
-Cline helps you manage this limitation with its Context Window Progress Bar, which shows:
+*Per million tokens
 
--   Input tokens (what you've sent to the model)
--   Output tokens (what the model has generated)
--   A visual representation of how much of your context window you've used
--   The total capacity for your chosen model

-		alt="Context window progress bar example"
-	/>
-</Frame>
+## Context Window Guide
 
-This visibility helps you work more effectively with Cline by letting you know when you might need to start fresh or break tasks into smaller chunks.
+| Size | Word Count | Use Case |
+|------|------------|----------|
+| 32K tokens | ~24,000 words | Single files, small projects |
+| 128K tokens | ~96,000 words | Most coding projects |
+| 200K tokens | ~150,000 words | Large codebases |
+| 400K+ tokens | ~300,000+ words | Entire applications |
 
-### Model Comparison
+**Performance note**: Most models start dropping in quality around 400-500K tokens, even if they claim higher limits.

+## The Bottom Line
 
-### A Note on Local Models
+Start with **Claude Sonnet 4** if you want reliability. Experiment with **open source options** once you're comfortable to find the best fit for your workflow and budget.
 
-While running models locally might seem appealing for cost savings, we currently don't recommend any local models for use with Cline. [Local models are significantly less reliable](https://docs.cline.bot/running-models-locally/read-me-first) at using Cline's essential tools and typically retain only 1-26% of the original model's capabilities. The full cloud version of DeepSeek-R1, for example, is 671B parameters - local versions are drastically simplified copies that struggle with complex tasks and tool usage. Even with high-end hardware (RTX 3070+, 32GB+ RAM), you'll experience slower responses, less reliable tool execution, and reduced capabilities. For the best development experience, we recommend sticking with the cloud models listed above.
-
-### Key Takeaways
-
-1. **Plan vs Act Matters**: Choose models based on task type
-2. **Real Performance > Benchmarks**: Focus on actual Cline performance
-3. **Mix & Match**: Use different models for planning and implementation
-4. **Cost vs Quality**: Premium models worth it for critical code
-5. **Keep Backups**: Have alternatives ready for API issues
-
-_\*Note: Based on real usage patterns and community feedback rather than just benchmarks. Your experience may vary. This is not an exhaustive list of all the models available for use within Cline._
+The landscape moves fast - these recommendations reflect what's working now, but keep an eye on new releases.

+
+## Automatic Context Management
+
+Cline includes intelligent features to manage context automatically:
+
+### Default Settings You Should Keep On
+
+**Focus Chain** - Enabled by default in v3.25. Cline generates a todo list at task start and keeps it in context so the thread doesn't drift. You can edit the markdown to add or reorder steps and Cline will adapt. [Learn more about Focus Chain](/features/focus-chain).
+
+**Auto Compact** - Always on. As the context window reaches its limit, Cline creates a comprehensive summary, replaces the bloated history, and continues where it left off. Decisions, code changes, and state are preserved. [Learn more about Auto Compact](/features/auto-compact).
+
+## Advanced Context Tools
+
+When you need more control over context management:
+
+### Deep Planning (`/deep-planning`)
+For substantial features, refactors, or integrations. Cline investigates your codebase, asks targeted questions, then writes `implementation_plan.md`. It creates a fresh task with distilled, high-value context. [Learn more about Deep Planning](/features/slash-commands/deep-planning).
+
+### New Task (`/newtask`)
+At natural transition points, packages only what matters into a fresh task. Clean slate for implementation after research, or crisp handoff between teammates. [Learn more about New Task](/features/slash-commands/new-task).
+
+### Smol (`/smol`)
+Compress the conversation in place to keep momentum. Ideal during debugging or exploratory work when you don't want to break flow. [Learn more about Smol](/features/slash-commands/smol).
+
+### Memory Bank + .clinerules
+For non-trivial projects. The Memory Bank captures project knowledge as Markdown in your repo. `.clinerules` are version-controlled instructions that align Cline's behavior with your team. [Learn more about Memory Bank](/prompting/cline-memory-bank) and [Cline Rules](/features/cline-rules).

+
+See [Anthropic's Model Documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/about-claude/models) for more details on each model's capabilities.
+
+### Configuration in Cline
+
+1.  **Open Cline Settings:** Click the settings icon (⚙️) in the Cline panel.
+2.  **Select Provider:** Choose "Anthropic" from the "API Provider" dropdown.
+3.  **Enter API Key:** Paste your Anthropic API key into the "Anthropic API Key" field.
+4.  **Select Model:** Choose your desired Claude model from the "Model" dropdown.
+5.  **(Optional) Custom Base URL:** If you need to use a custom base URL for the Anthropic API, check "Use custom base URL" and enter the URL. Most users won't need to adjust this setting.
+
+### Extended Thinking
+
+Anthropic models offer an "Extended Thinking" feature, designed to give them enhanced reasoning capabilities for complex tasks. This feature allows the model to output its step-by-step thought process before delivering a final answer, providing transparency and enabling more thorough analysis for challenging prompts.
+
+When extended thinking is in Cline, the model generates `thinking` content blocks that detail its internal reasoning. These insights are then incorporated into its final response.
+Cline users can leverage this by checking the `Enable Extended Thinking` box below the model selection menu after selecting a Claude Model from any provider.
+
+**Key Aspects of Extended Thinking:**
+
+-   **Supported Models:** This feature is available for select models, including variants of Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, and Claude Sonnet 3.7. The specific models listed in the "Supported Models" section above with the `:thinking` suffix are pre-configured in Cline to utilize this.
+-   **Summarized Thinking (Claude 4):** For Claude 4 models, the API returns a summary of the full thinking process to balance insight with efficiency and prevent misuse. You are billed for the full thinking tokens, not just the summary.
+-   **Streaming:** Extended thinking responses, including the `thinking` blocks, can be streamed.
+-   **Tool Use & Prompt Caching:** Extended thinking interacts with tool use (requiring thinking blocks to be passed back) and prompt caching (with specific behaviors around cache invalidation and context).
+
+For comprehensive details on how extended thinking works, including API examples, interaction with tool use, prompt caching, and pricing, please refer to the [official Anthropic documentation on Extended Thinking](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking).
+
+### Tips and Notes
+
+-   **Prompt Caching:** Claude 3 models support [prompt caching](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-caching), which can significantly reduce costs and latency for repeated prompts.
+-   **Context Window:** Claude models have large context windows (200,000 tokens), allowing you to include a significant amount of code and context in your prompts.
+-   **Pricing:** Refer to the [Anthropic Pricing](https://www.anthropic.com/pricing) page for the latest pricing information.
+-   **Rate Limits:** Anthropic has strict rate limits based on [usage tiers](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/rate-limits#requirements-to-advance-tier). If you're repeatedly hitting rate limits, consider contacting Anthropic sales or accessing Claude through a different provider like [OpenRouter](/provider-config/openrouter) or [Requesty](/provider-config/requesty).

+-   **AWS Bedrock:** A fully managed service that offers access to leading generative AI models (e.g., Anthropic Claude, Amazon Nova) through AWS.\
+    [Learn more about AWS Bedrock](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/what-is-bedrock.html).
+-   **Cline:** A VS Code extension that acts as a coding assistant by integrating with AI models—empowering developers to generate code, debug, and analyze data.
+-   **Developer Focus:** This guide is tailored for individual developers that want to enable access to frontier models via AWS Bedrock with a simplified setup using API Keys.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1: Prepare Your AWS Environment
+
+#### 1.1 Individual user setup - Create a Bedrock API Key
+
+For more detailed instructions check the [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/api-keys.html).
+
+1. **Sign in to the AWS Management Console:**\
+   [AWS Console](https://aws.amazon.com/console/)
+2. **Access Bedrock Console:**
+    - [Bedrock Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock)
+    - Create a new Long Lived API Key. This API Key will have by default the `AmazonBedrockLimitedAccess` IAM policy
+      [View AmazonBedrockLimitedAccess Policy Details](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/security-iam.html)
+
+#### 1.2 Create or Modify the Policy
+
+To ensure Cline can interact with AWS Bedrock, your IAM user or role needs specific permissions. While the `AmazonBedrockLimitedAccess` managed policy provides comprehensive access, for a more restricted and secure setup adhering to the principle of least privilege, the following minimal permissions are sufficient for Cline's core model invocation functionality:
+
+-   `bedrock:InvokeModel`
+-   `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`
+-   `bedrock:CallWithBearerToken`
+
+You can create a custom IAM policy with these permissions and attach it to your IAM user or role.
+
+1.  In the AWS IAM console, create a new policy.
+2.  Use the JSON editor to add the following policy document:
+    ```json
+    {
+    	"Version": "2012-10-17",
+    	"Statement": [
+    		{
+    			"Effect": "Allow",
+    			"Action": ["bedrock:InvokeModel", "bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream", "bedrock:CallWithBearerToken"],
+    			"Resource": "*" // For enhanced security, scope this to specific model ARNs if possible.
+    		}
+    	]
+    }
+    ```
+3.  Name the policy (e.g., `ClineBedrockInvokeAccess`) and attach it to the IAM user associated with the key you created. The IAM user and the API key have the same prefix.
+
+**Important Considerations:**
+
+-   **Model Listing in Cline:** The minimal permissions (`bedrock:InvokeModel`, `bedrock:InvokeModelWithResponseStream`) are sufficient for Cline to _use_ a model if you specify the model ID directly in Cline's settings. If you rely on Cline to dynamically list available Bedrock models, you might need additional permissions like `bedrock:ListFoundationModels`.
+-   **AWS Marketplace Subscriptions:** For third-party models (e.g., Anthropic Claude), the **`AmazonBedrockLimitedAccess`** policy grants you the necessary permissions to subscribe via the AWS Marketplace. There is no explicit access to be enabled. For Anthropic models you are still required to submit a First Time Use (FTU) form via the Console. If you get the following message in the Cline chat `[ERROR] Failed to process response: Model use case details have not been submitted for this account. Fill out the Anthropic use case details form before using the model.` then open the [Playground in the AWS Bedrock Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/home?#/text-generation-playground), select any Anthropic model and fill in the form (you might need to send a prompt first)
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Verify Regional and Model Access
+
+#### 2.1 Choose and Confirm a Region
+
+1. **Select a Region:**\
+   AWS Bedrock is available in multiple regions (e.g., US East, Europe, Asia Pacific). Choose the region that meets your latency and compliance needs.\
+   [AWS Global Infrastructure](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regions_az/)
+2. **Verify Model Access:**
+    - **Note:** Some models are only accessible via an [Inference Profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/inference-profiles-support.html). In such case check the box "Cross Region Inference".
+
+---
+
+### Step 3: Configure the Cline VS Code Extension
+
+#### 3.1 Install and Open Cline
+
+1. **Install VS Code:**\
+   Download from the [VS Code website](https://code.visualstudio.com/).
+2. **Install the Cline Extension:**
+    - Open VS Code.
+    - Go to the Extensions Marketplace (`Ctrl+Shift+X` or `Cmd+Shift+X`).
+    - Search for **Cline** and install it.
+
+#### 3.2 Configure Cline Settings
+
+1. **Open Cline Settings:**
+    - Click on the settings ⚙️ to select your API Provider.
+2. **Select AWS Bedrock as the API Provider:**
+    - From the API Provider dropdown, choose **AWS Bedrock**.
+3. **Enter Your AWS API Key:**
+    - Input your **API Key**
+    - Specify the correct **AWS Region** (e.g., `us-east-1` or your enterprise-approved region).
+4. **Select a Model:**
+    - Choose an on-demand model (e.g., **anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0**).
+5. **Save and Test:**
+    - Click **Done/Save** to apply your settings.
+    - Test the integration by sending a simple prompt (e.g., "Generate a Python function to check if a number is prime.").
+
+---
+
+### Step 4: Security, Monitoring, and Best Practices
+
+1. **Secure Access:**
+    - Prefer AWS SSO/federated roles over long-lived API Key when possible.
+    - [AWS IAM Best Practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html)
+2. **Enhance Network Security:**
+    - Consider setting up [AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/endpoint-services-overview.html) to securely connect to Bedrock.
+3. **Monitor and Log Activity:**
+    - Enable AWS CloudTrail to log Bedrock API calls.
+    - Use CloudWatch to monitor metrics like invocation count, latency, and token usage.
+    - Set up alerts for abnormal activity.
+4. **Handle Errors and Manage Costs:**
+    - Implement exponential backoff for throttling errors.
+    - Use AWS Cost Explorer and set billing alerts to track usage.\
+      [AWS Cost Management](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cost-management/latest/userguide/what-is-aws-cost-management.html)
+5. **Regular Audits and Compliance:**
+    - Periodically review IAM roles and CloudTrail logs.
+    - Follow internal data privacy and governance policies.
+
+---

+
+### Cerebras's Wafer-Scale Advantage
+
+Cerebras has fundamentally reimagined AI hardware architecture to solve the inference speed problem:
+
+#### Wafer-Scale Architecture
+Traditional GPUs use separate chips for compute and memory, forcing them to constantly shuttle model weights back and forth. Cerebras built the world's largest AI chip—a wafer-scale engine that stores entire models on-chip. No external memory, no bandwidth bottlenecks, no waiting.
+
+#### Revolutionary Speed
+- **Up to 2,600 tokens per second** - often 20x faster than GPUs
+- **Single-second reasoning** - what used to take minutes now happens instantly
+- **Real-time applications** - reasoning models become practical for interactive use
+- **No bandwidth limits** - entire models stored on-chip eliminate memory bottlenecks
+
+#### The Cerebras Scaling Law
+Cerebras discovered that **faster inference enables smarter AI**. Modern reasoning models generate thousands of tokens as "internal monologue" before answering. On traditional hardware, this takes too long for real-time use. Cerebras makes reasoning models fast enough for everyday applications.
+
+#### Quality Without Compromise
+Unlike other speed optimizations that sacrifice accuracy, Cerebras maintains full model quality while delivering unprecedented speed. You get the intelligence of frontier models with the responsiveness of lightweight ones.
+

+
+## Setup
+
+First, you'll need to install and authenticate Claude Code on your system:
+
+1. **Install Claude Code**: Follow Anthropic's [official setup guide](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/setup) to install and authenticate the Claude CLI.
+
+2. **Configure in Cline**:
+    - Open Cline settings (⚙️ icon)
+    - Select **Claude Code** from the **API Provider** dropdown
+    - Set the path to your Claude CLI executable (usually just `claude` if it's in your PATH)

+<Accordion title="Windows Setup">
+	Anthropic introduced full support for Claude Code on Windows. Follow the [instructions on how to set up Claude Code
+	normally](#setup) and make sure you have the latest Claude Code and Cline versions.
+</Accordion>
+
+### Finding your Claude Code path
+
+If you're not sure where Claude Code is installed:
+
+-   **macOS / Linux**: Run `which claude` in your terminal
+-   **Windows (Command Prompt)**: Run `where claude`
+-   **Windows (PowerShell)**: Run `Get-Command claude`
+
+## Supported Models
+
+The Claude Code provider supports these models:
+
+-   `claude-sonnet-4-20250514` (Recommended)
+-   `claude-opus-4-1-20250805`
+-   `claude-opus-4-20250514`
+-   `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`
+-   `claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022`
+-   `claude-3-5-haiku-20241022`
+
+## How it works
+
+When you use Claude Code with Cline, here's what happens behind the scenes:
+
+Cline wraps the Claude Code CLI to handle your requests. Each time you send a message, Cline starts a new `claude` process, sends your conversation, and streams the response back. The AI reasoning comes from Claude Code, but all the actual file editing, terminal commands, and other tools are handled by Cline.
+
+The main difference you'll notice is that responses don't stream character-by-character like other providers. Instead, Claude Code processes your full request before sending back the complete response.
+
+## Limitations
+
+There are a few things to keep in mind with Claude Code:
+
+-   Images in your messages get converted to text placeholders since Claude Code doesn't support image uploads through the CLI
+-   Prompt caching isn't available with this provider
+-   Responses don't stream in real-time like other providers
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you run into issues:
+
+**Authentication problems**: Make sure you're logged into Claude Code with your subscription account. Run `claude auth status` to check.
+
+**Path issues**: Double-check that the Claude CLI path in Cline's settings is correct. Try running `claude --version` in your terminal to verify it's working.
+
+**Still having trouble?** We're actively improving this integration. Report issues on our [GitHub](https://github.com/cline/cline/issues) or ask for help in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/cline).
+
+## Usage with subscriptions
+
+If you have a Claude Max subscription, your usage in Cline shows up as $0.00 in the billing interface since you're not paying additional API costs. Your usage still counts against your subscription limits, but you won't see per-token charges.

+title: "Ollama"
+---
+
+Cline supports running models locally using Ollama. This approach offers privacy, offline access, and potentially reduced costs. It requires some initial setup and a sufficiently powerful computer. Because of the present state of consumer hardware, it's not recommended to use Ollama with Cline as performance will likely be poor for average hardware configurations.
+
+**Website:** [https://ollama.com/](https://ollama.com/)
+
+### Setting up Ollama
+
+1.  **Download and Install Ollama:**
+    Obtain the Ollama installer for your operating system from the [Ollama website](https://ollama.com/) and follow their installation guide. Ensure Ollama is running. You can typically start it with:
+
+    ```bash
+    ollama serve
+    ```
+
+2.  **Download a Model:**
+    Ollama supports a wide variety of models. A list of available models can be found on the [Ollama model library](https://ollama.com/library). Some models recommended for coding tasks include:
+
+    -   `codellama:7b-code` (a good, smaller starting point)
+    -   `codellama:13b-code` (offers better quality, larger size)
+    -   `codellama:34b-code` (provides even higher quality, very large)
+    -   `qwen2.5-coder:32b`
+    -   `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1` (a solid general-purpose model)
+    -   `deepseek-coder:6.7b-base` (effective for coding)
+    -   `llama3:8b-instruct-q5_1` (suitable for general tasks)
+
+    To download a model, open your terminal and execute:
+
+    ```bash
+    ollama pull <model_name>
+    ```
+
+    For instance:
+
+    ```bash
+    ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:32b
+    ```
+
+3.  **Configure the Model's Context Window:**
+    By default, Ollama models often use a context window of 2048 tokens, which can be insufficient for many Cline requests. A minimum of 12,000 tokens is advisable for decent results, with 32,000 tokens being ideal. To adjust this, you'll modify the model's parameters and save it as a new version.
+
+    First, load the model (using `qwen2.5-coder:32b` as an example):
+
+    ```bash
+    ollama run qwen2.5-coder:32b
+    ```
+
+    Once the model is loaded within the Ollama interactive session, set the context size parameter:
+
+    ```
+    /set parameter num_ctx 32768
+    ```
+
+    Then, save this configured model with a new name:
+
+    ```
+    /save your_custom_model_name
+    ```
+
+    (Replace `your_custom_model_name` with a name of your choice.)
+
+4.  **Configure Cline:**
+    -   Open the Cline sidebar (usually indicated by the Cline icon).
+    -   Click the settings gear icon (⚙️).
+    -   Select "ollama" as the API Provider.
+    -   Enter the Model name you saved in the previous step (e.g., `your_custom_model_name`).
+    -   (Optional) Adjust the base URL if Ollama is running on a different machine or port. The default is `http://localhost:11434`.
+    -   (Optional) Configure the Model context size in Cline's Advanced settings. This helps Cline manage its context window effectively with your customized Ollama model.
+
+### Tips and Notes
+
+-   **Resource Demands:** Running large language models locally can be demanding on system resources. Ensure your computer meets the requirements for your chosen model.
+-   **Model Choice:** Experiment with various models to discover which best fits your specific tasks and preferences.
+-   **Offline Capability:** After downloading a model, you can use Cline with that model even without an internet connection.

+1.  **Base URL:** This is the API endpoint specific to the provider. It will _not_ be `https://api.openai.com/v1` (that URL is for the official OpenAI API).
+2.  **API Key:** This is the secret key you obtain from your chosen provider.
+3.  **Model ID:** This is the specific name or identifier for the model you wish to use.
+
+You'll find these settings in the Cline settings panel (click the ⚙️ icon):
+
+-   **API Provider:** Select "OpenAI Compatible".
+-   **Base URL:** Enter the base URL provided by your chosen provider. **This is a crucial step.**
+-   **API Key:** Enter your API key from the provider.
+-   **Model:** Choose or enter the model ID.
+-   **Model Configuration:** This section allows you to customize advanced parameters for the model, such as:
+    -   Max Output Tokens
+    -   Context Window size
+    -   Image Support capabilities
+    -   Computer Use (e.g., for models with tool/function calling)
+    -   Input Price (per token/million tokens)
+    -   Output Price (per token/million tokens)
+
+### Supported Models (for OpenAI Native Endpoint)
+
+While the "OpenAI Compatible" provider type allows connecting to various endpoints, if you are connecting directly to the official OpenAI API (or an endpoint that mirrors it exactly), Cline recognizes the following model IDs based on the `openAiNativeModels` definition in its source code:
+
+-   `o3-mini`
+-   `o3-mini-high`
+-   `o3-mini-low`
+-   `o1`
+-   `o1-preview`
+-   `o1-mini`
+-   `gpt-4o`
+-   `gpt-4o-mini`
+
+**Note:** If you are using a different OpenAI-compatible provider (such as Together AI, Anyscale, etc.), the available model IDs will differ. Always refer to your specific provider's documentation for their supported model names and any unique configuration details.
+
+### v0 (Vercel SDK) in Cline:
+
+-   For developers working with v0, their [AI SDK documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/v0/cline) provides valuable insights and examples for integrating various models, many of which are OpenAI-compatible. This can be a helpful resource for understanding how to structure calls and manage configurations when using Cline with services deployed on or integrated with Vercel.
+
+-   v0 can be used in Cline with the OpenAI Compatible provider.
+
+-   ### Quickstart
+
+-   1. With the OpenAI Compatible provider selected, set the Base URL to https://api.v0.dev/v1.
+-   2. Paste in your v0 API Key
+-   3. Set the Model ID: v0-1.0-md
+-   4. Click Verify to confirm the connection.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+-   **"Invalid API Key":** Double-check that you've entered the API key correctly and that it's for the correct provider.
+-   **"Model Not Found":** Ensure you're using a valid model ID for your chosen provider and that it's available at the specified Base URL.
+-   **Connection Errors:** Verify the Base URL is correct, that your provider's API is accessible from your machine, and that there are no firewall or network issues.
+-   **Unexpected Results:** If you're getting unexpected outputs, try a different model or double-check all configuration parameters.
+
+By using an OpenAI-compatible provider, you can leverage the flexibility of Cline with a wider array of AI models. Remember to always consult your provider's documentation for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

+
+OpenRouter is an AI platform that provides access to a wide variety of language models from different providers, all through a single API. This can simplify setup and allow you to easily experiment with different models.
+
+**Website:** [https://openrouter.ai/](https://openrouter.ai/)
+
+### Getting an API Key
+
+1.  **Sign Up/Sign In:** Go to the [OpenRouter website](https://openrouter.ai/). Sign in with your Google or GitHub account.
+2.  **Get an API Key:** Go to the [keys page](https://openrouter.ai/keys). You should see an API key listed. If not, create a new key.
+3.  **Copy the Key:** Copy the API key.
+
+### Supported Models
+
+OpenRouter supports a large and growing number of models. Cline automatically fetches the list of available models. Refer to the [OpenRouter Models page](https://openrouter.ai/models) for the complete and up-to-date list.
+
+### Configuration in Cline

+
+### Supported Transforms
+
+OpenRouter provides an [optional "middle-out" message transform](https://openrouter.ai/docs/features/message-transforms) to help with prompts that exceed the maximum context size of a model. You can enable it by checking the "Compress prompts and message chains to the context size" box.
+
+### Tips and Notes
+
+-   **Model Selection:** OpenRouter offers a wide range of models. Experiment to find the best one for your needs.
+-   **Pricing:** OpenRouter charges based on the underlying model's pricing. See the [OpenRouter Models page](https://openrouter.ai/models) for details.
+-   **Prompt Caching:**
+    -   OpenRouter passes caching requests to underlying models that support it. Check the [OpenRouter Models page](https://openrouter.ai/models) to see which models offer caching.
+    -   For most models, caching should activate automatically if supported by the model itself (similar to how Requesty works).
+    -   **Exception for Gemini Models via OpenRouter:** Due to potential response delays sometimes observed with Google's caching mechanism when accessed via OpenRouter, a manual activation step is required _specifically for Gemini models_.
+    -   If using a **Gemini model** via OpenRouter, you **must manually check** the "Enable Prompt Caching" box in the provider settings to activate caching for that model. This checkbox serves as a temporary workaround. For non-Gemini models on OpenRouter, this checkbox is not necessary for caching.

+title: "Vercel AI Gateway"
+description: "Use Vercel AI Gateway in Cline to reach 100+ models from one endpoint with routing, retries, and spend observability."
+---
+
+Vercel AI Gateway gives you a single API to access models from many providers. You switch by model id without swapping SDKs or juggling multiple keys. Cline integrates directly so you can pick a Gateway model in the dropdown, use it like any other provider, and see token and cache usage in the stream.
+
+Useful links:
+- Team dashboard: https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fai
+- Models catalog: https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models
+- Docs: https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway
+
+## What you get
+
+- One endpoint for 100+ models with a single key
+- Automatic retries and fallbacks that you configure on the dashboard
+- Spend monitoring with requests by model, token counts, cache usage, latency percentiles, and cost
+- OpenAI-compatible surface so existing clients work
+
+## Getting an API Key
+
+1. Sign in at https://vercel.com
+2. Dashboard → AI Gateway → API Keys → Create key
+3. Copy the key
+
+For more on authentication and OIDC options, see https://vercel.com/docs/ai-gateway/authentication
+
+## Configuration in Cline
+
+1. Open Cline settings
+2. Select **Vercel AI Gateway** as the API Provider
+3. Paste your Gateway API Key
+4. Pick a model from the list. Cline fetches the catalog automatically. You can also paste an exact id
+
+Notes:
+- Model ids often follow `provider/model`. Copy the exact id from the catalog  
+  Examples:
+  - `openai/gpt-5`
+  - `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4`
+  - `google/gemini-2.5-pro`
+  - `groq/llama-3.1-70b`
+  - `deepseek/deepseek-v3`

+</Frame>
+
+What to watch:
+- Requests by model - confirm routing and adoption
+- Tokens - input vs output, including reasoning if exposed
+- Cache - cached input and cache creation tokens
+- Latency - p75 duration and p75 time to first token
+- Cost - per project and per model
+
+Use it to:
+- Compare output tokens per request before and after a model change
+- Validate cache strategy by tracking cache reads and write creation
+- Catch TTFT regressions during experiments
+- Align budgets with real usage
+
+## Supported models
+
+The gateway supports a large and changing set of models. Cline pulls the list from the Gateway API and caches it locally. For the current catalog, see https://vercel.com/ai-gateway/models
+
+## Tips
+
+<Tip>
+Use separate gateway keys per environment (dev, staging, prod). It keeps dashboards clean and budgets isolated.
+</Tip>
+
+<Note>
+Pricing is pass-through at provider list price. Bring-your-own key has 0% markup. You still pay provider and processing fees.
+</Note>
+
+<Info>
+Vercel does not add rate limits. Upstream providers may. New accounts receive $5 credits every 30 days until the first payment.
+</Info>
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- 401 - send the Gateway key to the Gateway endpoint, not an upstream URL
+- 404 model - copy the exact id from the Vercel catalog
+- Slow first token - check p75 TTFT in the dashboard and try a model optimized for streaming
+- Cost spikes - break down by model in the dashboard and cap or route traffic
+
+## Inspiration
+
+- Multi-model evals - swap only the model id in Cline and compare latency and output tokens
+- Progressive rollout - route a small percent to a new model in the dashboard and ramp with metrics
+- Budget enforcement - set per-project limits without code changes

+title: "VS Code Language Model API"
+description: "Learn how to use Cline with the experimental VS Code Language Model API, enabling access to models from GitHub Copilot and other compatible extensions."
+---
+
+Cline offers _experimental_ support for the [VS Code Language Model API](https://code.visualstudio.com/api/extension-guides/language-model). This API enables extensions to grant access to language models directly within the VS Code environment. Consequently, you might be able to leverage models from:
+
+-   **GitHub Copilot:** Provided you have an active Copilot subscription and the extension installed.
+-   **Other VS Code Extensions:** Any extension that implements the Language Model API.
+
+**Important Note:** This integration is currently in an experimental phase and might not perform as anticipated. Its functionality relies on other extensions correctly implementing the VS Code Language Model API.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+-   **VS Code:** The Language Model API is accessible via VS Code (it is not currently supported by Cursor).
+-   **A Language Model Provider Extension:** An extension that furnishes a language model is required. Examples include:
+    -   **GitHub Copilot:** With a Copilot subscription, the GitHub Copilot and GitHub Copilot Chat extensions can serve as model providers.
+    -   **Alternative Extensions:** Explore the VS Code Marketplace for extensions mentioning "Language Model API" or "lm". Other experimental options may be available
+
+### Configuration Steps
+
+1. **Ensure Copilot Account is Active and Extensions are installed:** User logged into either the Copilot or Copilot Chat extension should be able to gain access via Cline.
+2. **Access Cline Settings:** Click the gear icon (⚙️) located in the Cline panel.
+3. **Choose Provider:** Select "VS Code LM API" from the "API Provider" dropdown menu.
+4. **Select Model:** If the Copilot extension(s) are installed and the user is logged into their Copilot account, the "Language Model" dropdown will populate with available models after a short time. The naming convention is `vendor/family`. For instance, if Copilot is active, you might encounter options such as:
+    - `copilot - gpt-3.5-turbo`
+    - `copilot - gpt-4o-mini`
+    - `copilot - gpt-4`
+    - `copilot - gpt-4-turbo`
+    - `copilot - gpt-4o`
+    - `copilot - claude-3.5-sonnet` **NOTE:** this model does not work.
+    - `copilot - gemini-2.0-flash`
+    - `copilot - gpt-4.1`
+
+For best results with the VSCode LM API Provider, we suggest using the OpenAI Models (GPT 3, 4, 4.1, 4o etc.)
+
+### Current Limitations
+
+-   **Experimental API Status:** The VS Code Language Model API is still under active development. Anticipate potential changes and instability.
+-   **Dependency on Extensions:** This feature is entirely contingent on other extensions making models available. Cline does not directly control the list of accessible models.
+-   **Restricted Functionality:** The VS Code Language Model API might not encompass all features available through other API providers (e.g., image input capabilities, streaming responses, detailed usage metrics).
+-   **No Direct Cost Management:** Users are subject to the pricing structures and terms of service of the extension providing the model. Cline cannot directly monitor or regulate associated costs.
+-   **GitHub Copilot Rate Throttling:** When employing the VS Code LM API with GitHub Copilot, be mindful that GitHub may enforce rate limits on Copilot usage. These limitations are governed by GitHub, not Cline.
+
+### Troubleshooting Tips
+
+-   **Models Not Appearing:**
+    -   Confirm that VS Code is installed.
+    -   Verify that a language model provider extension (e.g., GitHub Copilot, GitHub Copilot Chat) is installed and enabled.
+    -   If utilizing Copilot, ensure you have previously sent a Copilot Chat message using the desired model.
+-   **Unexpected Operation:** Should you encounter unforeseen behavior, it is likely an issue stemming from the underlying Language Model API or the provider extension. Consider reporting the problem to the developers of the provider extension.

+-   `grok-3-mini-beta`
+-   `grok-3-mini-fast-beta`
+
+The Grok 3 models `grok-3-beta` and `grok-3-fast-beta` do not support reasoning.
+
+#### Controlling Reasoning Effort
+
+When using reasoning-enabled models, you can control how hard the model thinks with the `reasoning_effort` parameter:
+
+-   `low`: Minimal thinking time, using fewer tokens for quick responses
+-   `high`: Maximum thinking time, leveraging more tokens for complex problems
+
+Choose `low` for simple queries that should complete quickly, and `high` for harder problems where response latency is less important.
+
+#### Key Features
+
+-   **Step-by-Step Problem Solving**: The model thinks through problems methodically before delivering an answer
+-   **Math & Quantitative Strength**: Excels at numerical challenges and logic puzzles
+-   **Reasoning Trace Access**: The model's thinking process is available via the `reasoning_content` field in the response completion object
+
+### Tips and Notes
+
+-   **Context Window:** Most Grok models feature large context windows (up to 131K tokens), allowing you to include substantial amounts of code and context in your prompts.
+-   **Vision Capabilities:** Select vision-enabled models (`grok-2-vision-latest`, `grok-2-vision`, etc.) when you need to process or analyze images.
+-   **Pricing:** Pricing varies by model, with input costs ranging from $0.3 to $5.0 per million tokens and output costs from $0.5 to $25.0 per million tokens. Refer to the xAI documentation for the most current pricing information.
+-   **Performance Tradeoffs:** "Fast" variants typically offer quicker response times but may have higher costs, while "mini" variants are more economical but may have reduced capabilities.

+</Tip>
+
+## Terminal Settings Explained
+
+Access these in Cline by clicking the settings icon, and navigating to the "Terminal Settings" section:
+
+### Default Terminal Profile
+
+-   **What it does**: Selects which shell Cline uses for commands
+-   **When to change**: If experiencing shell integration issues with your default shell
+-   **Recommended**: - macOS: bash (if zsh has issues) - Windows: PowerShell 7 - Linux: bash
+
+### Shell Integration Timeout
+
+-   **What it does**: How long Cline waits for the terminal to be ready
+-   **Default**: 4 seconds
+-   **When to increase**:
+    -   Slow shell startup (heavy .zshrc/.bashrc)
+    -   WSL environments
+    -   SSH connections
+-   **Recommended**: - Start with 10 seconds if having issues
+
+### Enable Aggressive Terminal Reuse
+
+-   **What it does**: Reuses existing terminals even if not in the correct directory
+-   **When to disable**:
+    -   Commands execute in wrong directory
+    -   Virtual environment issues
+    -   Terminal state corruption
+-   **Trade-off**: - Disabling creates more terminals but ensures clean state
+
+### Terminal Output Line Limit
+
+-   **What it does**: Limits how many lines Cline reads from terminal output
+-   **Default**: 500 lines
+-   **When to adjust**:
+    -   Increase for verbose build outputs
+    -   Decrease if hitting token limits
+    -   Set to 100 for commands with progress bars
+
+## Platform-Specific Solutions
+
+### macOS Issues
+
+#### Oh-My-Zsh Conflicts
+
+Oh-My-Zsh often interferes with shell integration. Solutions:
+
+1. Create a minimal `.zshrc` for VSCode:
+    ```bash
+    # ~/.zshrc-vscode
+    export TERM=xterm-256color
+    export PAGER=cat
+    # Minimal PATH and environment setup
+    ```
+2. Configure VSCode to use it:
+    ```json
+    {
+    	"terminal.integrated.env.osx": {
+    		"ZDOTDIR": "~/.zshrc-vscode"
+    	}
+    }
+    ```
+
+#### macOS 15+ Issues
+
+Recent macOS versions have stricter terminal permissions:
+
+1. System Preferences → Privacy & Security → Developer Tools
+2. Add Visual Studio Code
+3. Restart VSCode completely
+
+### Windows Issues
+
+If you're using Windows and still experiencing issues with shell integration after trying the previous steps, it's recommended you use Git Bash (or PowerShell).
+
+### Git Bash
+
+Git Bash is a terminal emulator that provides a Unix-like command line experience on Windows. To use Git Bash, you need to:
+
+1. Download and run the Git for Windows installer from [https://git-scm.com/downloads/win](https://git-scm.com/downloads/win)
+2. Quit and re-open VSCode
+3. Press `Ctrl + Shift + P` to open the Command Palette
+4. Type "Terminal: Select Default Profile" and choose it
+5. Select "Git Bash"
+
+### PowerShell
+
+If you'd still like to use PowerShell, make sure you're using an updated version (at least v7+).
+  - Check your current PowerShell version by running: `$PSVersionTable.PSVersion`
+  - If your version is below 7, [update PowerShell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/whats-new/migrating-from-windows-powershell-51-to-powershell-7?view=powershell-7.4#installing-powershell-7).
+
+You may also need to adjust your PowerShell execution policy. By default, PowerShell restricts script execution for security reasons.
+
+#### Understanding PowerShell Execution Policies
+
+PowerShell uses execution policies to determine which scripts can run on your system. Here are the most common policies:
+
+- `Restricted`: No PowerShell scripts can run. This is the default setting.
+- `AllSigned`: All scripts, including local ones, must be signed by a trusted publisher.
+- `RemoteSigned`: Scripts created locally can run, but scripts downloaded from the internet must be signed.
+- `Unrestricted`: No restrictions. Any script can run, though you will be warned before running internet-downloaded scripts.
+
+For development work in VSCode, the `RemoteSigned` policy is generally recommended. It allows locally created scripts to run without restrictions while maintaining security for downloaded scripts. To learn more about PowerShell execution policies and understand the security implications of changing them, visit Microsoft's documentation: [About Execution Policies](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies).
+
+#### Steps to Change the Execution Policy
+
+1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator: Press `Win + X` and select "Windows PowerShell (Administrator)" or "Windows Terminal (Administrator)".
+
+2. Check Current Execution Policy by running this command:
+     ```powershell
+     Get-ExecutionPolicy
+     ```
+   - If the output is already `RemoteSigned`, `Unrestricted`, or `Bypass`, you likely don't need to change your execution policy. These policies should allow shell integration to work.
+   - If the output is `Restricted` or `AllSigned`, you may need to change your policy to enable shell integration.
+
+3. Change the Execution Policy by running the following command:
+     ```powershell
+     Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
+     ```
+   - This sets the policy to `RemoteSigned` for the current user only, which is safer than changing it system-wide.
+
+4. Confirm the Change by typing `Y` and pressing Enter when prompted.
+
+5. Verify the Policy Change by running `Get-ExecutionPolicy` again to confirm the new setting.
+
+6. Restart VSCode and try the shell integration again.
+
+
+#### WSL Integration
+
+For WSL issues:
+
+1. Use WSL extension for VSCode
+2. Open folder in WSL: `code .` from WSL terminal
+3. Select "WSL Bash" as terminal profile in Cline
+
+#### Path Issues
+
+Windows path problems:
+
+1. Use forward slashes in Cline: `C:/Users/...`
+2. Quote paths with spaces: `"C:/Program Files/..."`
+3. Avoid `~` - use full paths
+
+### Linux/SSH/Container Issues
+
+#### SSH Connections
+
+For remote development:
+
+1. Install Cline on the remote machine, not locally
+2. Use SSH extension's integrated terminal
+3. Increase timeout to 15+ seconds
+
+#### Docker Containers
+
+When developing in containers:
+
+1. Install Cline in the container
+2. Use Dev Containers extension
+3. Ensure shell integration scripts are available
+
+## Shell-Specific Fixes
+
+### Zsh
+
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.zshrc
+export TERM=xterm-256color
+export PAGER=cat
+# Disable fancy prompts for VSCode
+if [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]]; then
+    PS1="%n@%m %1~ %# "
+fi
+```
+
+### Bash
+
+```bash
+# Add to ~/.bashrc
+export TERM=xterm-256color
+export PAGER=cat
+# Simple prompt for VSCode
+if [[ "$TERM_PROGRAM" == "vscode" ]]; then
+    PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
+fi
+```
+
+### Fish
+
+```fish
+# Add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish
+set -x TERM xterm-256color
+set -x PAGER cat
+# Disable fancy features in VSCode
+if test "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "vscode"
+    function fish_prompt
+        echo (whoami)'@'(hostname)':'(pwd)'> '
+    end
+end
+```
+
+### PowerShell
+
+```powershell
+# Add to $PROFILE
+$env:PAGER = "cat"
+# Disable progress bars
+$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
+```
+
+## Advanced Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Enable terminal debugging to see what's happening:
+
+1. Open VSCode Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P)
+2. Run: "Developer: Set Log Level..."
+3. Choose "Trace"
+4. Check Output panel → "Cline" for terminal logs
+
+### Manual Shell Integration Test
+
+Test if shell integration works at all:
+
+```bash
+# In VSCode terminal
+echo $TERM_PROGRAM  # Should show "vscode"
+echo $VSCODE_SHELL_INTEGRATION  # Should be "1"
+```
+
+## FAQ
+
+### Why does Cline create so many terminals?
+
+When shell integration fails, Cline can't reuse terminals safely (they might be running long processes). Enable shell integration or adjust the terminal reuse setting.
+
+### Can I use my custom shell (nushell, xonsh, etc.)?
+
+Cline officially supports bash, zsh, fish, and PowerShell. Custom shells may work but aren't guaranteed. Use bash as a fallback.
+
+### Why do some commands work but others don't?
+
+Commands that use interactive features (pagers, progress bars, curses) often fail. Set `PAGER=cat` and use non-interactive flags.
+
+### How do I know if shell integration is working?
+
+Working integration shows command output in Cline's chat. Failed integration shows "Shell Integration Unavailable" or "[Command is running but producing no output]".
+
+## Still Having Issues?
+
+If you've tried everything:
+
+1. **Collect Debug Info**:
+
+    ```bash
+    echo "Shell: $SHELL"
+    echo "Term: $TERM"
+    echo "VSCode: $TERM_PROGRAM"
+    which bash
+    bash --version
+    ```
+
+2. **Report the Issue**:
+    - Use `/reportbug` in Cline github issues
+    - Include your debug info
+    - Mention which solutions you tried
+
+<Tip>
+	Remember: Most terminal issues are resolved by switching to bash and increasing the timeout. Start there before trying complex
+	solutions.
