feat(tools): focus diff preview for write-to-file changes

- Add DiffUtils.createFocusedDiff to generate context-aware diffs (default 5 lines)
- Use focused diff in WriteToFileToolHandler partial and approval messages
  using diffViewProvider.originalContent + newContent
- Fall back to existing diff/content when focused diff is unavailable

This improves readability of change previews, reduces noise on large files,
and provides clearer context around edits without overwhelming the UI.

 ## Available Hooks
 
+### TaskStart Hook
+- **When**: Runs when a NEW task is started (not when resuming)
+- **Purpose**: Initialize task context, validate task requirements, set up environment
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskStart`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskStart`
+
+### TaskResume Hook
+- **When**: Runs when an EXISTING task is resumed (after user clicks resume button)
+- **Purpose**: Validate resumed task state, restore context, check for changes since last run
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskResume`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskResume`
+
+### TaskCancel Hook
+- **When**: Runs when a task is cancelled or a hook is aborted by the user (only if there's actual active work or work was started)
+- **Purpose**: Clean up resources, log cancellation, save state
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskCancel`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskCancel`
+- **Note**: This hook is NOT cancellable
+
+### TaskComplete Hook (coming soon!)
+- **When**: Runs when a task is marked as complete
+- **Purpose**: Log completion status, perform final cleanup, generate reports
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/TaskComplete`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/TaskComplete`
+
+### UserPromptSubmit Hook
+- **When**: Runs when the user submits a prompt/message (initial task, resume, or feedback)
+- **Purpose**: Validate user input, preprocess prompts, add context to user messages
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/UserPromptSubmit`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/UserPromptSubmit`
+
 ### PreToolUse Hook
 - **When**: Runs BEFORE a tool is executed
 - **Purpose**: Validate parameters, block execution, or add context
-- **File**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse` (Unix/Linux/macOS) or `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse.bat/.cmd/.exe` (Windows)
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse`
 
 ### PostToolUse Hook
 - **When**: Runs AFTER a tool completes
 - **Purpose**: Observe results, track patterns, or add context
-- **File**: `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse` (Unix/Linux/macOS) or `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse.bat/.cmd/.exe` (Windows)
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PostToolUse`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse`
 
-## Platform-Specific Guidance
+### PreCompact Hook (coming soon!)
+- **When**: Runs BEFORE the conversation context is compacted/truncated
+- **Purpose**: Observe compaction events, log context management, track token usage
+- **Global Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreCompact`
+- **Workspace Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/PreCompact`
 
-### Windows Hooks
+## Cross-Platform Hook Format
 
-Windows hooks use different file extensions and syntax than Unix hooks. Cline automatically searches for hooks using your system's `PATHEXT` environment variable (typically `.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.JS;.WSF;.MSC`).
+Cline uses a git-style approach for hooks that works consistently across all platforms:
 
-**Recommended approach for Windows:**
-- Use `.cmd` or `.bat` batch files (most compatible)
-- See `PreToolUse.example.cmd` and `PostToolUse.example.cmd` for simple examples
-- See `PreToolUse.advanced.example.cmd` for PowerShell-based JSON parsing
+### Hook Files (All Platforms)
+- **No file extensions**: Hooks are named exactly `PreToolUse` or `PostToolUse` (no `.bat`, `.cmd`, `.sh` etc.)
+- **Shebang required**: First line must be a shebang (e.g., `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env node`)
+- **Executable on Unix**: On Unix/Linux/macOS, hooks must be executable: `chmod +x PreToolUse`
+- **Windows**: Not currently supported.
 
-**Simple Windows Hook Example:**
-```batch
-@echo off
-REM Always allow execution with context
-echo {"shouldContinue": true, "contextModification": "WORKSPACE_RULES: TypeScript project"}
+### How It Works
+
+Like git hooks, Cline executes hook files through a shell that interprets the shebang line:
+- On Unix/Linux/macOS: Native shell execution with shebang support
+
+This means:
+- ✅ Same hook script works on all platforms
+- ✅ Write once, run anywhere
+- ✅ Use any scripting language (bash, node, python, etc.)
+
+### Creating Hooks
+
+**On Unix/Linux/macOS:**
+```bash
+# Create hook file
+nano ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+
+# Make executable
+chmod +x ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
 ```
 
-**Advanced Windows Hook with Input Parsing:**
-```batch
-@echo off
-setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
-
-REM Read stdin using PowerShell
-for /f "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`powershell -Command "[Console]::In.ReadToEnd()"`) do set "INPUT=%%i"
-
-REM Parse and process JSON
-powershell -Command ^
-  "$json = '%INPUT%' | ConvertFrom-Json; ^
-   $output = @{shouldContinue = $true}; ^
-   $output | ConvertTo-Json -Compress"
-```
-
-**Tips for Windows:**
-- Batch files don't require `chmod +x` - they're executable by default
-- Use `REM` for comments instead of `#`
-- PowerShell is available on all modern Windows systems
-- For complex logic, consider PowerShell scripts (`.ps1`) or compiled executables (`.exe`)
-
-### Unix/Linux/macOS Hooks
-
-Unix hooks are shell scripts without file extensions:
-- Must be executable: `chmod +x PreToolUse`
-- Must include shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env bash` or `#!/usr/bin/env node`
-- See `PreToolUse.example` and `PostToolUse.example` for bash examples

-## Context Modification Format
-
-Use structured prefixes to help the AI understand context type:
-
-- `WORKSPACE_RULES:` - Project conventions and requirements
-- `FILE_OPERATIONS:` - File creation/modification patterns
-- `TOOL_RESULT:` - Outcomes of tool executions
-- `PERFORMANCE:` - Performance concerns
-- `VALIDATION:` - Validation results
-- Custom prefixes as needed
-
-Example:
-```bash
-cat <<EOF
-{
-  "shouldContinue": true,
-  "contextModification": "WORKSPACE_RULES: This is a TypeScript project. All new files must use .ts or .tsx extensions."
-}
-EOF
-```
+**Note**: The `cancel` field works as follows:
+- `false` (or omitted): Allow execution to continue
+- `true`: Block execution and show error message to user
 
 ## Hook Execution Limits
 
-- **Timeout**: Hooks must complete within 30 seconds
-- **Context Size**: Context modifications are limited to 50KB
-- **Error Handling**: Unexpected file system errors are propagated; expected errors (file not found, permission denied) are handled silently

+## Global vs Workspace Hooks
+
+Cline supports two levels of hooks:
+
+### Global Hooks
+- **Location**: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/` (macOS/Linux)
+- **Scope**: Apply to ALL workspaces and projects
+- **Use Case**: Organization-wide policies, personal preferences, universal validations
+- **Priority**: Order not guaranteed when combined with workspace hooks
+
+### Workspace Hooks
+- **Location**: `.clinerules/hooks/` in each workspace root
+- **Scope**: Apply only to the specific workspace
+- **Use Case**: Project-specific rules, team conventions, repository requirements
+- **Priority**: Order not guaranteed when combined with global hooks
+
+### Hook Execution
+
+When multiple hooks exist (global and/or workspace):
+- All hooks for a given step are executed **concurrently** using `Promise.all`
+- **Execution order is not guaranteed** - hooks run in parallel
+- If ALL hooks allow execution (`cancel: false`), the tool proceeds
+- If ANY hook blocks (`cancel: true`), execution is blocked
+
+**Result Combination:**
+- `cancel`: If ANY hook returns `true`, execution is blocked
+- `contextModification`: All context strings are concatenated with double newlines (`\n\n`)
+- `errorMessage`: All error messages are concatenated with single newlines (`\n`)
+
+### Setting Up Global Hooks
+
+1. The global hooks directory is automatically created at:
+   - macOS/Linux: `~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/`
+
+2. Add your hook script:
+   ```bash
+   # Unix/Linux/macOS
+   nano ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+   chmod +x ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+   ```
+
+3. Enable hooks in Cline settings
+
+### Example: Global + Workspace Hooks
+
+**Global Hook** (applies to all projects):
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# ~/Documents/Cline/Hooks/PreToolUse
+# Universal rule: Never delete package.json
+input=$(cat)
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.toolName')
+path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.parameters.path // ""')
+
+if [[ "$tool_name" == "write_to_file" && "$path" == *"package.json"* ]]; then
+  echo '{"cancel": true, "errorMessage": "Global policy: Cannot modify package.json"}'
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+**Workspace Hook** (applies to specific project):
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# .clinerules/hooks/PreToolUse
+# Project rule: Only TypeScript files
+input=$(cat)
+tool_name=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.toolName')
+path=$(echo "$input" | jq -r '.preToolUse.parameters.path // ""')
+
+if [[ "$tool_name" == "write_to_file" && "$path" == *.js ]]; then
+  echo '{"cancel": true, "errorMessage": "Project rule: Use .ts files only"}'
+  exit 0
+fi
+
+echo '{"cancel": false}'
+```
+
+**All hooks must allow execution for the tool to proceed.** Hooks may execute concurrently.
+
 ## Multi-Root Workspaces
 
-If you have multiple workspace roots, you can place hooks in each root's `.clinerules/hooks/` directory. All hooks will run and their results will be combined:

+    - Run `npm run protos` to generate Protocol Buffer files (required before first build)
     - Run `npm run test` to run tests locally
     - Run → Start Debugging or `>Debug: Select and Start Debugging` and wait for a new VS Code instance to open
+    - **Terminal Workflow**: Use `npm run dev` (generates protos + runs watch mode) or `npm run watch` (if protos already generated)
     - Before submitting PR, run `npm run format:fix` to format your code
 
 3. **Linux-specific Setup**

+.PP
+\f[B]cline\f[R] \f[I]command\f[R] [\f[I]subcommand\f[R]]
+[\f[I]options\f[R]] [\f[I]arguments\f[R]]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Try: cat README.md | cline \(lqSummarize this for me:\(rq
+.PP
+\f[B]cline\f[R] is a command\-line interface for orchestrating multiple
+Cline AI coding agents.
+Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write, and execute code
+across your projects.
+He operates through a client\-server architecture where \f[B]Cline
+Core\f[R] runs as a standalone service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable
+interface for managing tasks, instances, and agent interactions.
+.PP
+The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it
+ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal\-based
+workflows.
+Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to the same Cline
+Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between environments.
+.SH MODES OF OPERATION
+.TP
+\f[B]Instant Task Mode\f[R]
+The simplest invocation: \f[B]cline \(lqprompt here\(rq\f[R] immediately
+spawns an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode.
+This is equivalent to running \f[B]cline instance new && cline task new
+&& cline task chat\f[R] in sequence.
+.TP
+\f[B]Subcommand Mode\f[R]
+Advanced usage with explicit control: \f[B]cline <command> [subcommand]
+[options]\f[R] provides fine\-grained control over instances, tasks,
+authentication, and configuration.
+.SH AGENT BEHAVIOR
+Cline operates in two primary modes:
+.TP
+\f[B]ACT MODE\f[R]
+Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks.
+He can read files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser,
+and more.
+This is the default mode for task execution.
+.TP
+\f[B]PLAN MODE\f[R]
+Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before
+implementation.
+He explores the codebase, asks clarifying questions, and presents a
+strategy for user approval before switching to ACT MODE.
+.SH INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
+When using the instant task syntax \f[B]cline \(lqprompt\(rq\f[R] the
+following options are available:
+.TP
+\f[B]\-o\f[R], \f[B]\-\-oneshot\f[R]
+Full autonomous mode.
+Cline completes the task and stops following after completion.
+Example: cline \-o \(lqwhat\(cqs 6 + 8?\(rq
+.TP
+\f[B]\-s\f[R], \f[B]\-\-setting\f[R] \f[I]setting\f[R] \f[I]value\f[R]
+Override a setting for this task
+.TP
+\f[B]\-y\f[R], \f[B]\-\-no\-interactive\f[R], \f[B]\-\-yolo\f[R]
+Enable fully autonomous mode.
+Disables all interactivity:
+.RS
+.IP \(bu 2
+ask_followup_question tool is disabled
+.IP \(bu 2
+attempt_completion happens automatically
+.IP \(bu 2
+execute_command runs in non\-blocking mode with timeout
+.IP \(bu 2
+PLAN MODE automatically switches to ACT MODE
+.RE
+.TP
+\f[B]\-m\f[R], \f[B]\-\-mode\f[R] \f[I]mode\f[R]
+Starting mode.
+Options: \f[B]act\f[R] (default), \f[B]plan\f[R]
+.SH GLOBAL OPTIONS
+These options apply to all subcommands:
+.TP

+Output format.
+Options: \f[B]rich\f[R] (default), \f[B]json\f[R], \f[B]plain\f[R]
+.TP
+\f[B]\-h\f[R], \f[B]\-\-help\f[R]
+Display help information for the command.
+.TP
+\f[B]\-v\f[R], \f[B]\-\-verbose\f[R]
+Enable verbose output for debugging.
+.SH COMMANDS
+.SS Authentication
+\f[B]cline auth\f[R] [\f[I]provider\f[R]] [\f[I]key\f[R]]
+.TP
+\f[B]cline a\f[R] [\f[I]provider\f[R]] [\f[I]key\f[R]]
+Configure authentication for AI model providers.
+Launches an interactive wizard if no arguments provided.
+If provider is specified without a key, prompts for the key or launches
+the appropriate OAuth flow.
+.SS Instance Management
+Cline Core instances are independent agent processes that can run in the
+background.
+Multiple instances can run simultaneously, enabling parallel task
+execution.
+.PP
+\f[B]cline instance\f[R]

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

+Task settings are persisted in the *~/.cline/x/tasks* directory. When resuming a task with **cline task open**, task settings are automatically restored.
+
+Common settings include:
+
+**yolo**
+
+:   Enable autonomous mode (true/false)
+
+**mode**
+
+:   Starting mode (act/plan)
+
+# NOTES & EXAMPLES

+NAME
+       cline - orchestrate and interact with Cline AI coding agents
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       cline [prompt] [options]
+
+       cline command [subcommand] [options] [arguments]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       Try: cat README.md | cline "Summarize this for me:"
+
+       cline is a command-line interface for orchestrating multiple Cline AI
+       coding agents.  Cline is an autonomous AI agent who can read, write,
+       and execute code across your projects.  He operates through a
+       client-server architecture where Cline Core runs as a standalone
+       service, and the CLI acts as a scriptable interface for managing tasks,
+       instances, and agent interactions.
+
+       The CLI is designed for both interactive use and automation, making it
+       ideal for CI/CD pipelines, parallel task execution, and terminal-based
+       workflows.  Multiple frontends (CLI, VSCode, JetBrains) can attach to
+       the same Cline Core instance, enabling seamless task handoff between
+       environments.
+
+MODES OF OPERATION
+       Instant Task Mode
+              The simplest invocation: cline "prompt here" immediately spawns
+              an instance, creates a task, and enters chat mode.  This is
+              equivalent to running cline instance new && cline task new &&
+              cline task chat in sequence.
+
+       Subcommand Mode
+              Advanced usage with explicit control: cline <command>
+              [subcommand] [options] provides fine-grained control over
+              instances, tasks, authentication, and configuration.
+
+AGENT BEHAVIOR
+       Cline operates in two primary modes:
+
+       ACT MODE
+              Cline actively uses tools to accomplish tasks.  He can read
+              files, write code, execute commands, use a headless browser, and
+              more.  This is the default mode for task execution.
+
+       PLAN MODE
+              Cline gathers information and creates a detailed plan before
+              implementation.  He explores the codebase, asks clarifying
+              questions, and presents a strategy for user approval before
+              switching to ACT MODE.
+
+INSTANT TASK OPTIONS
+       When using the instant task syntax cline "prompt" the following options
+       are available:
+
+       -o, --oneshot
+              Full autonomous mode.  Cline completes the task and stops
+              following after completion.  Example: cline -o "what's 6 + 8?"

+title: "Installation"
+description: "Install Cline CLI and authenticate with your account"
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Cline CLI requires Node.js version 20 or higher. We recommend using Node.js 22 for the best experience.
+
+To check your Node.js version:
+
+```bash
+node --version
+```
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install -g cline
+```
+
+After installation, authenticate with your Cline account:
+
+```bash
+cline auth
+```
+
+This starts an authentication wizard to sign you in and configure your preferred AI model provider.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Get started with Cline in seconds:
+
+```bash
+cline
+```
+
+That's it! Running `cline` in any directory starts an interactive session where you can chat with the AI agent. Type your task, review the plan, and type `/act` when ready to execute.
+
+For even faster execution without interaction:
+
+```bash
+cline "Add unit tests to utils.js"
+```
+
+This runs Cline with a single command, perfect for quick tasks or automation.
+
+<Tip>
+New to Cline CLI? Start with interactive mode (`cline`) to see how it works. Once comfortable, explore [the three core flows](/cline-cli/three-core-flows) for advanced usage patterns.

+
+# GitHub Integration Sample
+
+Automate GitHub issue analysis with AI. Mention `@cline` in any issue comment to trigger an autonomous investigation that reads files, analyzes code, and provides actionable insights - all running automatically in GitHub Actions.
+
+
+<Note>
+**New to Cline CLI?** This sample assumes you understand Cline CLI basics and have completed the [Installation Guide](https://docs.cline.bot/cline-cli/installation). If you're new to Cline CLI, we recommend starting with the [GitHub RCA sample](../github-issue-rca) first, as it's simpler and will help you understand the fundamentals before setting up GitHub Actions.
+</Note>
+
+## The Workflow
+
+Trigger Cline by mentioning `@cline` in any issue comment:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/ss0a-comment.png" alt="Issue comment with @cline mention" width="600" />
+</Frame>
+
+Cline's automated analysis appears as a new comment, with insights drawn from your actual codebase:
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/ss0b-final.png" alt="Automated analysis response from Cline" width="600" />
+</Frame>
+
+The entire investigation runs autonomously in GitHub Actions - from file exploration to posting results.
+
+Let's configure your repository.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, you'll need:
+
+- **Cline CLI knowledge** - Completed the [Installation Guide](https://docs.cline.bot/cline-cli/installation) and understand basic usage
+- **GitHub repository** - With admin access to configure Actions and secrets
+- **GitHub Actions familiarity** - Basic understanding of workflows and CI/CD
+- **API provider account** - OpenRouter, Anthropic, or similar with API key
+
+## Setup
+
+### 1. Copy the Workflow File
+
+
+
+Copy the workflow file from this sample to your repository. The workflow file must be placed in the `.github/workflows/` directory in your repository root for GitHub Actions to detect and run it. In this case, we'll name it `cline-responder.yml`.
+
+```bash
+# In your repository root
+mkdir -p .github/workflows
+curl -o .github/workflows/cline-responder.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cline/cline/main/src/samples/cli/github-integration/cline-responder.yml
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can copy the full workflow file directly into `.github/workflows/cline-responder.yml`:

+
+<Warning>
+**You MUST edit the workflow file before committing!**
+
+Open `.github/workflows/cline-responder.yml` and update the "Download analyze script" step within the workflow to specify your GitHub organization and repository where the analysis script is stored:
+
+```yaml
+export GITORG="YOUR-GITHUB-ORG"      # Change this!
+export GITREPO="YOUR-GITHUB-REPO"    # Change this!
+```
+
+**Example:** If your repository is `github.com/acme/myproject`, set:
+```yaml
+export GITORG="acme"
+export GITREPO="myproject"
+```
+
+This tells the workflow where to download the analysis script from your repository after you commit it in step 3.
+</Warning>
+
+The workflow will look for new or updated issues, check for `@cline` mentions, and then
+start up an instance of the Cline CLI to dig into the issue, providing feedback
+as a reply to the issue.
+
+### 2. Configure API Keys
+
+Add your AI provider API keys as repository secrets:
+
+1. Go to your GitHub repository
+2. Navigate to **Settings** → **Environment** and Add a new environment.

+   <Frame>
+     <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/ss03-ready.png" alt="API key configured" width="600" />
+   </Frame>
+
+Now you're ready to supply Cline with the credentials it needs in a GitHub Action.
+
+### 3. Add Analysis Script
+
+Add the analysis script from the `github-issue-rca` sample to your repository. **First, you'll need to create a `git-scripts` directory in your repository root where the script will be located.** Choose one of these options:
+
+**Option A: Download directly (Recommended)**
+
+```bash
+# In your repository root, create the directory and download the script
+mkdir -p git-scripts
+curl -o git-scripts/analyze-issue.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cline/cline/main/src/samples/cli/github-issue-rca/analyze-issue.sh
+chmod +x git-scripts/analyze-issue.sh
+```
+
+**Option B: Manual copy-paste**
+
+Create the directory and file manually, then paste the script content:
+
+```bash
+# In your repository root
+mkdir -p git-scripts
+# Create and edit the file with your preferred editor
+nano git-scripts/analyze-issue.sh  # or use vim, code, etc.
+```
+
+<Accordion title="Click to view the complete analyze-issue.sh script">
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Analyze a GitHub issue using Cline CLI
+
+if [ -z "$1" ]; then
+    echo "Usage: $0 <github-issue-url> [prompt] [address]"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 'What is the root cause of this issue?'"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 'What is the root cause of this issue?' 127.0.0.1:46529"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Gather the args
+ISSUE_URL="$1"
+PROMPT="${2:-What is the root cause of this issue?}"
+if [ -n "$3" ]; then
+    ADDRESS="--address $3"
+fi
+
+# Ask Cline for its analysis, showing only the summary
+cline -y "$PROMPT: $ISSUE_URL" --mode act $ADDRESS -F json | \
+    sed -n '/^{/,$p' | \
+    jq -r 'select(.say == "completion_result") | .text' | \
+    sed 's/\\n/\n/g'
+```
+
+After pasting the script content, make it executable:
+```bash
+chmod +x git-scripts/analyze-issue.sh
+```
+</Accordion>
+
+This analysis script calls Cline to execute a prompt on a GitHub issue,
+summarizing the output to populate the reply to the issue.
+
+### 4. Commit and Push
+
+```bash
+git add .github/workflows/cline-responder.yml
+git add git-scripts/analyze-issue.sh
+git commit -m "Add Cline issue assistant workflow"
+git push
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Once set up, simply mention `@cline` in any issue comment:
+
+```
+@cline what's causing this error?
+
+@cline analyze the root cause
+
+@cline what are the security implications?
+```
+
+GitHub Actions will:
+1. Detect the `@cline` mention
+2. Start a Cline CLI instance
+3. Download the analysis script
+4. Analyze the issue using act mode with yolo (fully autonomous)
+5. Post Cline's analysis as a new comment
+
+**Note**: The workflow only triggers on issue comments, not pull request
+comments.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The workflow (`cline-responder.yml`):
+
+1. **Triggers** on issue comments (created or edited)
+2. **Detects** `@cline` mentions (case-insensitive)
+3. **Installs** Cline CLI globally using npm
+4. **Creates** a Cline instance using `cline instance new`
+5. **Configures** authentication using `cline config set open-router-api-key=...
+   --address ...`
+6. **Downloads** the reusable `analyze-issue.sh` script from the
+   `github-issue-rca` sample
+7. **Runs** analysis with the instance address
+8. **Posts** the analysis result as a comment

+
+<Accordion title="Click to view the complete analyze-issue.sh script">
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Analyze a GitHub issue using Cline CLI
+
+if [ -z "$1" ]; then
+    echo "Usage: $0 <github-issue-url> [prompt] [address]"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 'What is the root cause of this issue?'"

+PROMPT="${2:-What is the root cause of this issue?}"
+if [ -n "$3" ]; then
+    ADDRESS="--address $3"
+fi
+

+cline -y "$PROMPT: $ISSUE_URL" --mode act $ADDRESS -F json | \
+    sed -n '/^{/,$p' | \
+    jq -r 'select(.say == "completion_result") | .text' | \
+    sed 's/\\n/\n/g'
+```
+
+</Accordion>
+
+<Note>
+**After downloading or creating the script**, make it executable by running:
+```bash
+chmod +x analyze-issue.sh
+```
+</Note>
+
+## Quick Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Run this command in your terminal from the directory where you saved the script to analyze an issue with the default root cause prompt:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123
+```
+
+This will:
+- Fetch issue #123 from the repository
+- Analyze the issue to identify root causes
+- Provide detailed analysis with recommendations
+
+### Custom Analysis Prompt
+
+Ask specific questions about the issue:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/456 "What is the security impact?"
+```
+
+### Using Specific Cline Instance
+
+Target a particular Cline instance by address:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 \
+    "What is the root cause of this issue?" \
+    127.0.0.1:46529
+```
+
+<Warning>
+This is useful when:
+- Running multiple Cline instances
+- Using a remote Cline server
+- Testing with specific configurations
+</Warning>
+
+<Note>
+The script will automatically handle everything: fetching the issue, analyzing it with Cline, and displaying the results. The analysis typically takes 30-60 seconds depending on the issue complexity.
+</Note>
+
+## How It Works
+
+Let's analyze each component of the script to understand how it works.
+
+### Argument Validation
+
+The script validates input and provides usage instructions:
+
+```bash
+if [ -z "$1" ]; then
+    echo "Usage: $0 <github-issue-url> [prompt] [address]"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 'What is the root cause?'"
+    echo "Example: $0 https://github.com/owner/repo/issues/123 'Analyze security impact' 127.0.0.1:46529"
+    exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- Validates required GitHub issue URL
+- Shows clear usage examples
+- Supports optional custom prompt
+- Supports optional Cline instance address
+
+### Argument Parsing
+
+The script extracts and sets up the arguments:
+
+```bash
+# Gather the args
+ISSUE_URL="$1"
+PROMPT="${2:-What is the root cause of this issue?}"
+if [ -n "$3" ]; then
+    ADDRESS="--address $3"
+fi
+```
+
+**Explanation:**
+- `ISSUE_URL="$1"` - First argument is always the issue URL
+- `PROMPT="${2:-...}"` - Second argument is optional, defaults to root cause analysis
+- `ADDRESS` - Third argument is optional, only set if provided
+
+### The Core Analysis Pipeline
+
+This is where the magic happens:
+
+```bash
+# Ask Cline for his analysis, showing only the summary
+cline -y "$PROMPT: $ISSUE_URL" --mode act $ADDRESS -F json | \
+    sed -n '/^{/,$p' | \
+    jq -r 'select(.say == "completion_result") | .text' | \
+    sed 's/\\n/\n/g'
+```
+
+<Accordion title="Pipeline Breakdown: Understanding Each Component">
+
+**1. `cline -y "$PROMPT: $ISSUE_URL"`**
+   - `-y` enables yolo mode (no user interaction)
+   - Constructs prompt with issue URL
+
+**2. `--mode act`**
+   - Enables act mode for active investigation
+   - Allows Cline to use tools (read files, run commands, etc.)
+
+**3. `$ADDRESS`**
+   - Optional address flag for specific instance
+   - Expands to `--address <ip:port>` if set
+
+**4. `-F json`**
+   - Outputs in JSON format for parsing
+
+**5. `sed -n '/^{/,$p'`**
+   - Extracts JSON from output
+   - Skips any non-JSON prefix lines
+
+**6. `jq -r 'select(.say == "completion_result") | .text'`**
+   - Filters for completion result messages
+   - Extracts the text field
+   - `-r` outputs raw strings (no JSON quotes)
+
+**7. `sed 's/\\n/\n/g'`**
+   - Converts escaped newlines to actual newlines
+   - Makes output readable
+
+</Accordion>
+
+## Sample Output
+
+Here's an example analyzing a real Flutter issue:
+
+```bash
+$ ./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/csells/flutter_counter/issues/2
+```
+
+**Output:**
+
+```markdown
+**Root Cause Analysis of Issue #2: "setState isn't cutting it"**
+
+After examining the GitHub issue and analyzing the Flutter counter codebase, 
+I've identified the root cause of why setState() is insufficient for this 
+project's needs:
+
+## Current Implementation Problems
+
+The current Flutter counter app uses setState() for state management, which 
+has several limitations:
+
+1. **Local State Only**: setState() only works within a single widget, making 
+   it difficult to share state across the app
+2. **Rebuild Overhead**: Every setState() call rebuilds the entire widget tree, 
+   causing performance issues with complex UIs
+3. **No State Persistence**: State is lost when the widget is disposed
+4. **Testing Challenges**: setState-based logic is tightly coupled to the UI, 
+   making unit testing difficult
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+As the app grows beyond a simple counter, these limitations become critical:
+- Multiple screens need to access the count
+- State needs to persist across navigation
+- Business logic should be testable independently
+- UI should only rebuild when necessary
+
+## Recommended Solutions
+
+The issue mentions "Provider or Bloc" - both are excellent alternatives:
+
+1. **Provider**: Simple, lightweight state management using InheritedWidget
+   - Easy migration path from setState
+   - Good for small to medium apps
+   - Official Flutter recommendation
+
+2. **Bloc**: More structured approach with clear separation between events, 
+   states, and business logic
+   - Better for complex apps
+   - Excellent testability
+   - Clear architectural patterns
+
+3. **Riverpod**: Modern alternative to Provider with better performance and 
+   developer experience
+   - Compile-time safety
+   - Better testing support
+   - More flexible than Provider
+
+4. **GetX**: Full-featured solution with state management, routing, and 
+   dependency injection
+   - Minimal boilerplate
+   - Fast and lightweight
+   - All-in-one solution
+
+## Next Steps
+
+The current codebase needs refactoring to implement proper state management 
+architecture to handle more complex state scenarios effectively. Provider 
+would be the easiest migration path while Bloc provides better long-term 
+scalability.
+```
+
+## When to Use This Pattern
+
+This script pattern is ideal for various development scenarios where automated GitHub issue analysis can accelerate your workflow.
+
+### Bug Investigation
+
+Quickly analyze bug reports and identify root causes without manual code exploration:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/project/repo/issues/123 \
+    "What is the root cause of this bug?"
+```
+
+### Feature Request Analysis
+
+Understand context and implications of feature requests:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/project/repo/issues/456 \
+    "What are the implementation challenges?"
+```
+
+### Security Audits
+
+Assess security implications of reported issues:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/project/repo/issues/789 \
+    "What are the security implications?"
+```
+
+### Documentation Generation
+
+Generate detailed technical documentation from issues:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/project/repo/issues/654 \
+    "Provide detailed technical documentation for this issue"
+```
+
+### Code Review Assistance
+
+Get second opinions on proposed changes:
+
+```bash
+./analyze-issue.sh https://github.com/project/repo/issues/987 \
+    "Review the proposed solution approach"
+```
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This sample demonstrates how to build an autonomous GitHub issue analysis tool using Cline CLI:
+
+1. **Building autonomous CLI tools** using Cline's capabilities
+2. **Parsing structured JSON output** from Cline CLI
+3. **Creating flexible automation scripts** with custom prompting
+4. **Integrating with GitHub** for issue analysis
+5. **Handling command-line arguments** effectively
+
+This pattern can be adapted for many other automation scenarios, from pull request reviews to documentation generation to code quality analysis.

+---
+title: "Three Core Flows"
+description: "Learn the three ways to use Cline CLI: interactive mode, headless automation, and multi-instance parallelization"
+---
+
+Two concepts to understand:
+
+**Task** - A single job for Cline to complete ("add tests to utils.js"). You describe what you want, Cline plans how to do it, then executes the plan. Tasks run on instances.
+
+**Instance** - An independent Cline workspace. Each instance runs one task at a time. Create multiple instances to run multiple tasks that work on different parts of your project in parallel.
+
+## 1. Interactive mode: Plan first, then act
+
+Start here to see how Cline works. Interactive mode opens a chat session where you can review plans before execution.
+
+```bash
+cline
+```
+
+Cline opens an interactive session in your current directory. Type your task as a message. Cline enters Plan mode and proposes a step-by-step strategy.
+
+Review or edit the plan in chat. When you're ready, switch to execution:
+
+```bash
+/act
+```
+
+Cline executes the approved steps—reading files, writing code, running commands. You maintain control throughout the process.
+
+## 2. Headless single-shot: Complete a task without chat
+
+Use this for automation where you want a one-liner that just does the work.
+
+```bash
+cline instance new --default
+cline task new -y "Generate unit tests for all Go files"
+```
+
+With the `-y` (YOLO) flag, Cline plans and executes autonomously without interactive chat. Perfect for CI, cron jobs, or scripts.
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash
+# Create a complete feature
+cline task new -y "Create a REST API for user authentication"
+
+# Generate documentation
+cline task new -y "Add JSDoc comments to all functions in src/"
+
+# Refactor code
+cline task new -y "Convert all var declarations to const/let"
+```
+
+Monitor your task with:
+
+```bash
+# View task status
+cline task view
+
+# Follow task progress in real-time
+cline task view --follow
+```
+
+Press Ctrl+C to exit the view.
+
+<Note>
+Run YOLO mode with care on a directory or a clean Git branch. You get speed in exchange for oversight, so be ready to revert if needed.
+</Note>
+
+## 3. Multi-instance: Run parallel agents
+
+Multiple instances let you parallelize work on the same project without colliding contexts. Run frontend, backend, and infrastructure tasks simultaneously.
+
+Create your first instance:
+
+```bash
+cline instance new
+```
+
+This returns an instance address you'll use to target tasks. Attach a task to this instance:
+
+```bash
+# Frontend work on first instance
+cline task new -y "Build React components"
+```
+
+Create a second instance and set it as default in one command:
+
+```bash
+cline instance new --default
+```
+
+Now you can create tasks without specifying the address—they automatically use the default instance:
+
+```bash
+# Backend work on the new default instance
+cline task new -y "Implement API endpoints"
+```
+
+List all running instances:
+
+```bash
+cline instances list
+```
+
+Stop all instances when done:
+
+```bash
+cline instances kill -a
+```
+
+<Tip>
+Keep track of instance addresses returned by `cline instance new`. When scripting multiple agents, store these IDs and direct your tasks to the appropriate instance.
+</Tip>
+
+## Choosing the right flow
+
+- **Interactive mode**: Best for exploring new problems, learning how Cline works, or when you want to review plans before execution
+- **Headless single-shot**: Perfect for automation, CI/CD, and tasks where you trust Cline to execute without supervision
+- **Multi-instance**: Use when you need to parallelize work or maintain separate contexts for different parts of your project

+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.
+
+<Callout type="tip">
+**New to model selection?** Start with [Module 2 of Cline's Learning Path](https://cline.bot/learn) for a comprehensive guide to choosing and configuring models.
+</Callout>
+
+## What is an AI Model?
+
+Think of an AI model as the "brain" that powers Cline. When you ask Cline to write code, fix bugs, or refactor your project, it's the model that actually understands your request and generates the response.
+
+**Key points:**
+- **Models are trained AI systems** that understand natural language and code
+- **Different models have different strengths** some excel at complex reasoning, others prioritize speed or cost
+- **You choose which model Cline uses** like picking between different experts for different tasks
+- **Models are accessed via API providers** - companies like Anthropic, OpenAI, and OpenRouter host these models
+
+**Why it matters:** The model you choose directly impacts Cline's capabilities, response quality, speed, and cost. A premium model might handle complex refactoring beautifully but cost more, while a budget model works great for routine tasks at a fraction of the price.
+
+## How to Select a Model in Cline
+
+Follow these 5 simple steps to get Cline up and running with your preferred AI model:
+
+### Step 1: Open Cline Settings
+
+First, you need to access Cline's configuration panel.
+
+**Two ways to open settings:**
+- **Quick method**: Click the **gear icon (⚙️)** in the top-right corner of Cline's chat interface
+- **Command palette**: Press **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P** → type "Cline: Open Settings"
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/step1-config.png" alt="Cline Settings Panel" />
+</Frame>
+
+The settings panel will open, showing configuration options with "API Provider" at the top.
+
+<Note>
+The settings panel remembers your last configuration, so you'll only need to set this up once.
+</Note>
+
+### Step 2: Select an API Provider
+
+Choose your preferred AI provider from the dropdown menu.
+
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/step2-provider.png" alt="Cline Settings Panel" />
+</Frame>
+
+**Popular providers at a glance:**
+
+| Provider | Best For | Notes |
+|----------|----------|-------|
+| **Cline** | Easiest setup | No API keys needed, access to multiple models including stealth models |
+| **OpenRouter** | Value seekers | Multiple models, competitive pricing |

+**Recommended for beginners:** Start with **Cline** as your provider - no API key management needed, instant access to multiple models, and occasional free inferencing through partner providers.
+</Info>
+
+### Step 3: Add Your API Key (or Sign In)
+
+The next step depends on which provider you selected.
+
+#### If you selected **Cline** as your provider:
+
+- **No API key needed!** Simply sign in with your Cline account
+- Click the **Sign In** button when prompted
+- You'll be redirected to [app.cline.bot](https://app.cline.bot) to authenticate
+- After signing in, return to your IDE
+
+#### If you selected any other provider:
+
+You'll need to get an API key from your chosen provider:
+
+1. **Visit your provider's website to get an API key:**
+   - **Anthropic**: [console.anthropic.com](https://console.anthropic.com/)
+   - **OpenRouter**: [openrouter.ai/keys](https://openrouter.ai/keys)
+   - **OpenAI**: [platform.openai.com/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
+   - **Google**: [aistudio.google.com/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/apikey)
+   - **Others**: See [Provider Setup Guide](/provider-config)
+
+2. **Generate a new API key** on the provider's website
+
+3. **Copy the API key** to your clipboard
+
+4. **Paste your key** in the **"API Key"** field in Cline settings
+
+5. **Save automatically** - Your key is stored securely in your editor's secrets storage
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/step3-API.png" alt="Cline API Selection" />
+</Frame>
+
+<Warning>
+**Payment required for most providers**: Most providers need payment information before generating keys. You only pay for what you use (typically $0.01-$0.10 per coding task).
+</Warning>
+
+### Step 4: Choose Your Model
+
+Once your API key is added (or you've signed in), the **"Model"** dropdown becomes available.
+
+<Frame>
+  <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/step4-model.png" alt="Cline Model Selection" />
+</Frame>
+
+**Quick model selection guide:**
+
+| Your Priority | Choose This Model | Why |
+|---------------|-------------------|-----|
+| **Maximum reliability** | Claude Sonnet 4.5 | Most reliable tool usage, excellent at complex tasks |
+| **Best value** | DeepSeek V3 or Qwen3 Coder | Great performance at budget prices |
+| **Fastest speed** | Qwen3 Coder on Cerebras | Lightning-fast responses |
+| **Run locally** | Any Ollama model | Complete privacy, no internet needed |
+| **Latest features** | GPT-5 | OpenAI's newest capabilities |
+
+Not sure which to pick? Start with **Claude Sonnet 4.5** for reliability or **DeepSeek V3** for value.
+
+<Tip>
+You can switch models at any time without losing your conversation. Try different models to find what works best for your specific tasks.
+</Tip>
+
+See the [model comparison tables](#current-top-models) below for detailed specifications and pricing.
+
+### Step 5: Start Using Cline
+
+**Congratulations! You're all set up.** Here's how to start coding with Cline:
+
+1. **Type your request** in the Cline chat box
+   - Example: "Create a React component for a login form"
+   - Example: "Debug this TypeScript error"
+   - Example: "Refactor this function to be more efficient"
+
+2. **Press Enter** or click the send icon to submit
+
+## Choosing the Right Model
+
+Selecting the right model involves balancing several factors. Use this framework to find your ideal match:
+
+<Note>
+**Pro tips**: Configure separate models for Plan Mode and Act Mode. Make the most out the each model's strengths. For example, use a budget model for planning discussions and a premium model for implementation.
+</Note>
+
+### Key Selection Factors
+
+| Factor | What to Consider | Recommendation |
+|--------|------------------|----------------|
+| **Task Complexity** | Simple fixes vs complex refactoring | Budget models for routine tasks; Premium models for complex work |
+| **Budget** | Monthly spending capacity | \$10-\$30: Budget,  \$30-\$100: Mid-tier, \$100+: Premium |
+| **Context Window** | Project size and file count | Small: 32K-128K, Medium: 128K-200K, Large: 400K+ |
+| **Speed** | Response time requirements | Interactive: Fast models, Background: Reasoning models OK |
+| **Tool Reliability** | Complex operations | Claude excels at tool usage; Test others with your workflow |
+| **Provider** | Access and pricing needs | OpenRouter: Many options, Direct: Faster/reliable, Local: Privacy |
+
+
+

-title: "Cloud Provider Integration"

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

-## AWS Bedrock Setup Guides
-
-#### [IAM Security Best Practices](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/best-practices.html) (For administrators)
-
-#### [AWS Bedrock setup for API Keys](/provider-config/aws-bedrock-with-apikey-authentication)
-
-#### [AWS Bedrock setup for Legacy IAM (AWS Credentials)](/provider-config/aws-bedrock-with-credentials-authentication)
-
-#### [AWS Bedrock setup for SSO token (AWS Profile)](/provider-config/aws-bedrock-with-profile-authentication)
-
-#### VPC Endpoint Setup
-
-To protect your team's data, Cline supports VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) endpoints, which create private connections between your data and AWS Bedrock. AWS VPCs enhance security by eliminating the need for public IP addresses, network gateways, or complex firewall rules—essentially creating a private highway for data that bypasses the public internet entirely. By keeping traffic within AWS's private network, teams also benefit from lower latency and more predictable performance when accessing services like AWS Bedrock or custom APIs. For those working with confidential information or operating in highly regulated industries like healthcare or finance, VPCs offers the perfect balance between the accessibility of cloud services and the security of private infrastructure.
-
----
-
-1. Consult the [AWS guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/vpc-interface-endpoints.html) to creating VPC endpoints. This document specifies pre-requisites and describes the syntax used for creating VPC endpoints.
-2. Follow the directions for [creating a VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html#create-interface-endpoint-aws) in the AWS console. The image below pertains to steps 4 and 5 of the AWS guide linked above.

-## Building Custom Instructions for Teams
-
-**Creating standardized project instructions ensures that all team members work within consistent guidelines. Start by documenting your project's technical foundation, then identify which information needs to be included in the instructions. The exact scope will vary depending on your team's needs, but generally it's best to provide as much information as possible. By creating comprehensive instructions that all team members follow, you establish a shared understanding of how code should be written, tested, and deployed across your project, resulting in more maintainable and consistent software.**
-
----
-
-Here are a few topics and examples to consider for your team's custom instructions:
-
-1. **Testing framework and specific commands**
-    - "All components must include Jest tests with at least 85% coverage. Run tests using `npm run test:coverage` before submitting any pull request."
-2. **Explicit library preferences**
-    - "Use React Query for data fetching and state management. Avoid Redux unless specifically required for complex global state. For styling, use Tailwind CSS with our custom theme configuration found in `src/styles/theme.js.`"
-3. **Where to find documentation**

-4. **Which MCP servers to use, and for which purposes**
-    - "For database operations, use the Postgres MCP server with credentials stored in 1Password under 'Development > Database'. For deployments, use the AWS MCP server which requires the deployment role from IAM. Refer to `docs/mcp-setup.md` for configuration instructions."
-5. **Coding conventions specific to your project**
-    - "Name all React components using PascalCase and all helper functions using camelCase. Place components in the `src/components` directory organized by feature, not by type. Always use TypeScript interfaces for prop definitions."

-title: "MCP Servers"

-
-**Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers expand Cline's capabilities by providing standardized access to external data sources and executable functions. By implementing MCP servers, LLM tools can dynamically retrieve and incorporate relevant information from both local and remote data sources. This capability ensures that the models operate with the most current and contextually appropriate data, improving the accuracy and relevance of their outputs.**
-
----
-
-### Secure Architecture Fundamentals
-
-MCP servers follow a client-server architecture where hosts (LLM applications like Cline) initiate connections through a transport layer to MCP servers. This architecture inherently provides security benefits as it maintains clear separation between components. Enterprise deployments should focus on the proper implementation of this architecture to ensure secure operations, particularly regarding the message exchange patterns and connection lifecycle management. For MCP architecture details, see [MCP Architecture](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/architecture), and for latest specifications, see [MCP Specifications](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2024-11-05/).
-
-### Transport Layer Security
-
-For enterprise environments, selecting the appropriate transport mechanism is crucial. While stdio transport works efficiently for local processes, HTTP with Server-Sent Events (SSE) transport requires additional security measures. TLS should be used for all remote connections whenever possible. This is especially important when MCP servers are deployed across different network segments within corporate infrastructure.
-
-### Message Validation and Access Control
-
-The MCP architecture defines standard error codes and message types (Requests, Results, Errors, and Notifications), providing a structured framework for secure communication. Security teams should consider message validation, sanitizing inputs, checking message size limits, and verifying JSON-RPC format. Additionally, implementing resource protection through access controls, path validation, and request rate limiting helps prevent potential abuse of MCP server capabilities.
-
-### Monitoring and Compliance
-
-For enterprise compliance requirements, implementing comprehensive logging of protocol events, message flows, and errors is essential. The MCP architecture supports diagnostic capabilities including health checks, connection state monitoring, and resource usage tracking. Organizations should extend these capabilities to meet their specific compliance needs, particularly for audit trails of all MCP server interactions and resource access patterns.
-
-By leveraging the client-server design of the MCP architecture and implementing appropriate security controls at each layer, enterprises can safely integrate MCP servers into their environments while maintaining their security posture and meeting regulatory requirements.

+title: "Cline Enterprise"
+sidebarTitle: "Overview"
+description: "Enterprise security, governance, and observability for the coding agent 3 million developers trust"
+---
+
+Cline Enterprise brings centralized governance to the same open-source architecture that millions of developers already use. Your code stays in your environment, you use your own inference at your negotiated rates, and you get the security and observability capabilities that platform teams need for org-wide deployment.
+
+<Card title="Learn More About Enterprise" icon="building" href="https://cline.bot/enterprise">
+  Visit our website for detailed information about enterprise features, pricing, and deployment options.
+</Card>
+
+## What You Get
+
+It delivers five core capabilities that platform teams need for production deployment. Each addresses a specific requirement for scaling AI coding across your organization.
+
+### Security by Design
+
+Your code never leaves your environment. Cline processes everything locally - no uploads, no indexing, no training on your data.
+
+<CardGroup cols={2}>
+  <Card title="Client-side execution" icon="computer">
+    All processing happens within your environment
+  </Card>
+
+  <Card title="No data exfiltration" icon="shield-check">
+    Code and context never transmitted externally
+  </Card>
+
+  <Card title="No codebase indexing" icon="database">
+    Repositories are never indexed or cached
+  </Card>
+
+  <Card title="No model training" icon="ban">
+    Your code and prompts aren't used for training
+  </Card>
+</CardGroup>
+
+### Bring Your Own Inference
+
+Use your existing cloud contracts and negotiated rates. Most AI tools force you to buy inference through them with markup. Cline connects directly to your providers.
+
+Connect to any inference provider:
+- AWS Bedrock
+- Google Vertex AI
+- Azure OpenAI
+- Anthropic direct
+- OpenAI direct
+- Cerebras
+- Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
+
+Switch models instantly as new ones release. Use Claude Sonnet 4.5 as your daily driver, GPT-5 for complex refactoring, open-source models for simple tasks. Your existing cloud credits and startup program contracts now cover AI coding. We handle the agent loop. You handle the inference. No markup, no vendor lock-in.
+
+### Governance at Scale
+
+Platform teams need central control when thousands of developers use AI. Individual API keys scattered across laptops create security risks and cost overruns.
+
+Enterprise governance provides:
+- **SSO authentication**: Corporate credentials instead of personal API keys
+- **Role-based access control**: Fine-grained permissions per team and project
+- **Model and tool controls**: Govern which models and tools each team accesses
+- **Remote configuration**: Manage settings for all developers from one dashboard
+- **Full audit logging**: Every AI interaction tracked with detailed logs
+
+Configure once, deploy everywhere. Developers work how they prefer while you maintain control.
+
+### Complete Observability
+
+Export logs to your existing observability stack. Track usage, costs, and performance across all teams.
+
+- **OpenTelemetry export**: Direct integration with Datadog, Grafana, Splunk
+- **Real-time analytics**: Track adoption, performance, and patterns
+- **Cost breakdown**: See exactly what each team spends on which models
+- **JSON output**: Build custom dashboards in your existing tools
+
+The same observability standards you require for production systems.
+
+## Deployment
+
+Cline Enterprise connects securely to your infrastructure. Deploy in cloud environments, on-premises, or air-gapped networks. Configure to work with your existing security policies and compliance requirements.
+
+Rolling out to your organization:
+1. Configure Cline Core to connect to your infrastructure
+2. Set SSO, RBAC, and governance policies
+3. Deploy to developers via your existing software distribution
+4. Monitor usage through your observability tools
+
+## Next Steps
+
+- Review [security architecture](/enterprise-solutions/security-concerns)
+- Configure [cloud provider setup](/provider-config/aws-bedrock/api-key) (AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI, Azure)
+- Set up [MCP servers](/mcp/mcp-overview) for custom tooling
+- Add [custom instructions](/features/cline-rules) for your codebase
+
+Schedule a walkthrough to see how Cline Enterprise fits your infrastructure. We'll work with your security and compliance requirements to deploy in your environment.
