+# 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

+<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
+# GitHub PR Review Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
+
+## 1. Gather PR Information
+1. Get the PR title, description, and comments:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr view <PR-number> --json title,body,comments
+   ```
+
+2. Get the full diff of the PR:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr diff <PR-number>
+   ```
+
+## 2. Understand the Context
+1. Identify which files were modified in the PR:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr view <PR-number> --json files
+   ```
+
+2. Examine the original files in the main branch to understand the context:
+   ```xml
+   <read_file>
+   <path>path/to/file</path>
+   </read_file>
+   ```
+
+3. For specific sections of a file, you can use search_files:
+   ```xml
+   <search_files>
+   <path>path/to/directory</path>
+   <regex>search term</regex>
+   <file_pattern>*.ts</file_pattern>
+   </search_files>
+   ```
+
+## 3. Analyze the Changes
+1. For each modified file, understand:
+   - What was changed
+   - Why it was changed (based on PR description)
+   - How it affects the codebase
+   - Potential side effects
+
+2. Look for:
+   - Code quality issues
+   - Potential bugs
+   - Performance implications
+   - Security concerns
+   - Test coverage
+
+## 4. Ask for User Confirmation
+1. Before making a decision, ask the user if you should approve the PR, providing your assessment and justification:
+   ```xml
+   <ask_followup_question>
+   <question>Based on my review of PR #<PR-number>, I recommend [approving/requesting changes]. Here's my justification:
+   
+   [Detailed justification with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any concerns]
+   
+   Would you like me to proceed with this recommendation?</question>
+   <options>["Yes, approve the PR", "Yes, request changes", "No, I'd like to discuss further"]</options>
+   </ask_followup_question>
+   ```
+
+## 5. Ask if User Wants a Comment Drafted
+1. After the user decides on approval/rejection, ask if they would like a comment drafted:
+   ```xml
+   <ask_followup_question>
+   <question>Would you like me to draft a comment for this PR that you can copy and paste?</question>
+   <options>["Yes, please draft a comment", "No, I'll handle the comment myself"]</options>
+   </ask_followup_question>
+   ```
+
+2. If the user wants a comment drafted, provide a well-structured comment they can copy:
+   ```
+   Thank you for this PR! Here's my assessment:
+
+   [Detailed assessment with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any suggestions]
+
+   [Include specific feedback on code quality, functionality, and testing]
+   ```
+
+## 6. Make a Decision
+1. Approve the PR if it meets quality standards:
+   ```bash
+   # For single-line comments:
+   gh pr review <PR-number> --approve --body "Your approval message"
+   
+   # For multi-line comments with proper whitespace formatting:
+   cat << EOF | gh pr review <PR-number> --approve --body-file -
+   Thanks @username for this PR! The implementation looks good.
+
+   I particularly like how you've handled X and Y.
+
+   Great work!
+   EOF
+   ```
+
+2. Request changes if improvements are needed:
+   ```bash
+   # For single-line comments:
+   gh pr review <PR-number> --request-changes --body "Your feedback message"
+   
+   # For multi-line comments with proper whitespace formatting:
+   cat << EOF | gh pr review <PR-number> --request-changes --body-file -
+   Thanks @username for this PR!
+
+   The implementation looks promising, but there are a few things to address:
+
+   1. Issue one
+   2. Issue two
+
+   Please make these changes and we can merge this.
+   EOF
+   ```
+
+   Note: The `cat << EOF | ... --body-file -` approach preserves all whitespace and formatting without requiring temporary files. The `-` parameter tells the command to read from standard input.

+<example_review_process>
+# Example PR Review Process
+
+Let's walk through a real example of reviewing PR #3627 which fixes the thinking mode calculation for Claude 3.7 models.
+
+## Step 1: Gather PR Information
+
+```bash
+# Get PR details
+gh pr view 3627 --json title,body,comments
+
+# Get the full diff
+gh pr diff 3627
+```
+
+## Step 2: Understand the Context
+
+```xml
+# Examine the original files to understand what's being changed
+<read_file>
+<path>src/shared/api.ts</path>
+</read_file>
+
+# Look at the ThinkingBudgetSlider component implementation
+<read_file>
+<path>webview-ui/src/components/settings/ThinkingBudgetSlider.tsx</path>
+</read_file>
+
+# Check how thinking mode is currently handled in API providers
+<search_files>
+<path>src/api/providers</path>
+<regex>reasoningOn</regex>
+<file_pattern>*.ts</file_pattern>
+</search_files>
+```
+
+## Step 3: Analyze the Changes
+
+From the PR information and code examination, we can see that:
+
+1. The PR fixes an issue with the thinking mode budget calculation for Claude 3.7 models
+2. Currently, the thinking budget is incorrectly calculated as 80% of maxTokens (8192), resulting in 6553 tokens
+3. Claude 3.7 actually supports a much larger thinking budget (up to 64000 tokens)
+4. The PR adds a `thinkingConfig` property with `maxBudget: 64000` to model definitions
+5. It updates API handlers to use this value when reasoning mode is enabled
+6. It enhances the slider component to calculate max values based on model-specific percentages
+7. Comprehensive tests were added to verify the calculations
+
+## Step 4: Ask for User Confirmation
+
+```xml
+<ask_followup_question>
+<question>Based on my review of PR #3627, I recommend approving this PR. Here's my justification:
+
+1. The PR correctly fixes the thinking mode budget calculation for Claude 3.7 models
+2. It properly implements the thinkingConfig.maxBudget property (64000) for Claude 3.7 models
+3. It applies the appropriate percentage (50%) for the slider calculation
+4. The changes are well-tested with comprehensive unit tests
+5. The implementation is clean and follows the project's coding standards
+6. The PR includes helpful screenshots demonstrating the fix
+
+Would you like me to proceed with approving this PR?</question>
+<options>["Yes, approve the PR", "No, I'd like to discuss further", "Let me review it myself first"]</options>
+</ask_followup_question>
+```
+
+## Step 5: Ask if User Wants a Comment Drafted
+
+```xml
+<ask_followup_question>
+<question>Would you like me to draft a comment for this PR that you can copy and paste?</question>
+<options>["Yes, please draft a comment", "No, I'll handle the comment myself"]</options>
+</ask_followup_question>
+```
+
+## Step 6: Make a Decision
+
+```bash
+# Option 1: Simple one-line comment
+gh pr review 3627 --approve --body "This PR looks good! It correctly fixes the thinking mode budget calculation for Claude 3.7 models."
+
+# Option 2: Multi-line comment with proper whitespace formatting
+cat << EOF | gh pr review 3627 --approve --body-file -
+This PR looks good! It correctly fixes the thinking mode budget calculation for Claude 3.7 models.
+
+I particularly like:
+1. The proper implementation of thinkingConfig.maxBudget property (64000)
+2. The appropriate percentage (50%) for the slider calculation
+3. The comprehensive unit tests
+4. The clean implementation that follows project coding standards

+<general_guidelines_for_commenting>
+When reviewing a PR, please talk normally and like a friendly reviwer. You should keep it short, and start out by thanking the author of the pr and @ mentioning them. 
+
+Whether or not you approve the PR, you should then give a quick summary of the changes without being too verbose or definitive, staying humble like that this is your understanding of the changes. Kind of how I'm talking to you right now.
+
+If you have any suggestions, or things that need to be changed, request changes instead of approving the PR.
+
+Leaving inline comments in code is good, but only do so if you have something specific to say about the code. And make sure you leave those comments first, and then request changes in the PR with a short comment explaining the overall theme of what you're asking them to change.
+</general_guidelines_for_commenting>
+
+<example_comments_that_i_have_written_before>
+<brief_approve_comment>
+Looks good, though we should make this generic for all providers & models at some point
+</brief_approve_comment>
+<brief_approve_comment>
+Will this work for models that may not match across OR/Gemini? Like the thinking models?
+</brief_approve_comment>
+<approve_comment>
+This looks great! I like how you've handled the global endpoint support - adding it to the ModelInfo interface makes total sense since it's just another capability flag, similar to how we handle other model features.
+
+The filtered model list approach is clean and will be easier to maintain than hardcoding which models work with global endpoints. And bumping the genai library was obviously needed for this to work.
+
+Thanks for adding the docs about the limitations too - good for users to know they can't use context caches with global endpoints but might get fewer 429 errors.
+</approve_comment>
+<requesst_changes_comment>
+This is awesome. Thanks @scottsus.
+
+My main concern though - does this work for all the possible VS Code themes? We struggled with this initially which is why it's not super styled currently. Please test and share screenshots with the different themes to make sure before we can merge
+</request_changes_comment>
+<request_changes_comment>
+Hey, the PR looks good overall but I'm concerned about removing those timeouts. Those were probably there for a reason - VSCode's UI can be finicky with timing.
+
+Could you add back the timeouts after focusing the sidebar? Something like:
+
+```typescript
+await vscode.commands.executeCommand("claude-dev.SidebarProvider.focus")
+await setTimeoutPromise(100)  // Give UI time to update
+visibleWebview = WebviewProvider.getSidebarInstance()
+```
+</request_changes_comment>
+<request_changes_comment>
+Heya @alejandropta thanks for working on this! 
+
+A few notes:
+1 - Adding additional info to the environment variables is fairly problematic because env variables get appended to **every single message**. I don't think this is justifiable for a somewhat niche use case. 
+2 - Adding this option to settings to include that could be an option, but we want our options to be simple and straightforward for new users
+3 - We're working on revisualizing the way our settings page is displayed/organized, and this could potentially be reconciled once that is in and our settings page is more clearly delineated. 
+
+So until the settings page is update, and this is added to settings in a way that's clean and doesn't confuse new users, I don't think we can merge this. Please bear with us.
+</request_changes_comment>
+<request_changes_comment>
+Also, don't forget to add a changeset since this fixes a user-facing bug.
+
+The architectural change is solid - moving the focus logic to the command handlers makes sense. Just don't want to introduce subtle timing issues by removing those timeouts.

+It's often less about the nitty-gritty details of the tech stuff and more about learning something new or getting a solution handed to me on a silver platter.
+
+Look, when I read, I want something out of it. So when I write, I gotta remember that my readers want something too. This whole piece? It's about cluing in anyone who writes for me, or wants me to write for them, on how I see this whole writing product thing.
+
+I'm gonna lay out a checklist of stuff I'd like to have. It'll make the whole writing gig a bit smoother, you know?
+
+## Crafting Compelling Titles
+
+I often come across titles like "How to do X with Y,Z technology." These don't excite me because X or Y are usually unfamiliar unless they're already well-known. Its rarely the dream to use X unless X is the dream. 
+
+My dream isn’t to use instructor, its to do something valueble with the data it extracts
+
+An effective title should:
+
+- Evoke an emotional response
+- Highlight someone's goal
+- Offer a dream or aspiration
+- Challenge or comment on a belief
+- Address someone's problems
+
+I believe it's more impactful to write about specific problems. If this approach works, you can replicate it across various scenarios rather than staying too general.
+
+- Time management for everyone can be a 15$ ebook
+- Time management for executives is a 2000$ workshop
+
+Aim for titles that answer questions you think everyone is asking, or address thoughts people have but can't quite articulate.
+
+Instead of "How I do something" or "How to do something," frame it from the reader's perspective with "How you can do something." This makes the title more engaging. Just make sure the difference is advisory if the content is subjective. “How I made a million dollars” might be more reasonable than “How to make a million dollars” since you are the subject and the goal might be to share your story in hopes of helping others.
+
+This approach ultimately trains the reader to have a stronger emotional connection to your content.
+
+- "How I do X"
+- "How You Can do X"
+
+Between these two titles, it's obvious which one resonates more emotionally.
+
+You can take it further by adding specific conditions. For instance, you could target a particular audience or set a timeframe:
+
+- How to set up Braintrust
+- How to set up Braintrust in 5 minutes
+
+## NO adjectiives
+
+I want you to almost always avoid adjectives and try to use evidence instead. Instead of saying "production ready," you can write something like "scaling this to 100 servers or 1 million documents per second." Numbers like that will tell you exactly what the specificity of your product is. If you have to use adjectives rather than evidence, you are probably making something up. 
+
+There's no reason to say something like "blazingly fast" unless those things are already known phrases.
+
+Instead, say "200 times faster" or "30% faster." A 30% improvement in recommendation system speed is insane.
+
+There's a 200 times performance improvement because we went from one programming language to another. It's just something that's a little bit more expected and understandable.
+
+Another test that I really like using recently is tracking whether or not the statements you make can be:
+
+- Visualized
+- Proven false
+- Said only by you
+
+If you can nail all three, the claim you make will be more likely to resonate with an audience because only you can say it.
+
+Earlier this year, I had an example where I embedded all of Wikipedia in 17 minutes with 20 bucks, and it got half a million views. All we posted was a video of me kicking off the job, and then you can see all the log lines go through. You see the number of containers go from 1 out of 50 to 50 out of 50.
+
+It was easy to visualize and could have been proven false by being unreproducible. Lastly, Modal is the only company that could do that in such an effortless way, which made it unique.
+
+## Keep It Digestible 
+    - Aim for 5-minute reads
+    - Write at a Grade 10 reading level
+    - Break up long paragraphs
+    - Use headers and bullet points
+
+## Make It Scannable
+    - Bold key points
+    - Use subheadings every 3-4 paragraphs
+    - Include plenty of white space
+    - Add relevant examples
+
+This structure works whether you're writing a tweet thread or a full blog post. The key is making complex ideas accessible.
+
+# Guide to Writing Cline Documentation
+
+## Some general principles for explaining features
+
+If you're talking about a feature, it's helpful to start with a human-readable explanations that cover what the feature is in simple terms. Skip jargon and explain it like you're talking to someone who's never seen it before. This sets the foundation for everything that follows.
+
+Combine location and usage into one flowing section. Tell users exactly where to find the feature and how to use it, but weave the instructions into natural prose with a good balance of bullet points, numbered lists, code examples (if applicable), mintlify components, and headers/subheaders. Users shouldn't have to jump between separate "where is it" and "how do I use it" sections.
+
+Show the feature in action with real examples like actual files, workflows, or code. Users need to see concrete implementations, not just abstract descriptions. This is where understanding turns into practical knowledge.
+
+When talking about a feature, include an inspiration section that sparks imagination. This section pushes people from understanding to action by showing them what becomes possible when they use this feature creatively. It's what separates good documentation from great documentation.
+
+## Writing Principles That Actually Work
+
+### Write for Action, Not Just Understanding
+
+Documentation should motivate users to try things. Instead of just explaining how something works, focus on what users can accomplish with it. The inspiration section is crucial - it's what transforms passive readers into active users.
+
+### Create a Natural Story Flow
+
+It should feel like a conversation that naturally progresses from "what is this?" to "how do I use it?" to "here's a real example" to "imagine what you could do with this." 
+
+### Show Real Examples, Not Toy Demos
+
+Provide actual workflow files, real code snippets, and concrete implementations that users can copy and adapt. Abstract examples don't help anyone - users want to see exactly what they'll be working with.
+
+### Keep It Scannable But Not Fragmented
+
+Write in prose that flows naturally when read completely, but structure it so users can quickly find specific information when they're troubleshooting. Avoid dense walls of text, but also avoid over-formatting with excessive bullet points and bold headers. There should be a nice visual heirarchy of balance between all elements, so you can quickly scan the page and find what you're looking for.
+
+## Language and Tone Guidelines
+
+Write clearly without dumbing things down. Use simple language when possible, but don't avoid technical terms that users need to know. Explain concepts in terms of what users can achieve rather than how the software works internally.
+
+Make your writing conversational and encouraging. Phrases like "you can also try" or "when that works" feel more natural than rigid instructional language. Help users feel confident about trying new things.
+
+Keep content concise and purposeful. Every sentence should either help users understand something or help them do something. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cut it.
+
+Build in context and reasoning. Users want to understand why they're doing something, not just what to do. This builds confidence and helps them troubleshoot when things don't work exactly as expected.
+
+## Practical Implementation
+
+Structure each feature page consistently with the four-section approach, but let the content flow naturally within that structure. Use visual assets like videos and screenshots to complement the written content - they often communicate more effectively than paragraphs of description.
+
+Link generously to related resources, examples, and deeper documentation. Users should never feel stuck or wonder where to go next. Maintain a repository of real examples that users can reference and adapt to their own needs.
+
+The goal is documentation that feels more like helpful guidance from an experienced colleague than a technical manual. Users should finish reading feeling excited about what they can accomplish, not just informed about what the feature does.
+
+## Balance Structure with Flexibility
+
+While they discuss having consistent documentation structure, there's also mention of making content feel less rigid and more natural. The writing should follow guidelines while still feeling conversational and engaging. 
+
+## Bad examples
+
+I personally hate this pattern of bullet point **Bold Text** colon and then more text:
+<bad_example_of_writing>
+#### macOS
+
+1. **Switch to bash**: Go to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile → Select "bash"
+2. **Disable Oh-My-Zsh temporarily**: If using zsh, try `mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup` and restart VSCode
+3. **Set environment**: Add to your shell config: `export TERM=xterm-256color`
+
+#### Windows
+
+1. **Use PowerShell 7**: Install from Microsoft Store, then select it in Cline settings
+2. **Disable Windows ConPTY**: VSCode Settings → Terminal › Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty → Uncheck
+3. **Try Command Prompt**: Sometimes simpler is better - switch to cmd.exe
+
+#### Linux
+
+1. **Use bash**: Most reliable option - select in Cline settings
+2. **Check permissions**: Ensure VSCode has terminal access permissions
+3. **Disable custom prompts**: Comment out prompt customizations in `.bashrc`
+
+</bad_example_of_writing>
+
+We should instead strive to write beautiful docs that read well. We can use bullet points and numbered lists but it should read naturally and be delightful to look at hierachally when scanning through the doc. There should be a good balance between blocks of text, code snippets, paragraphs, numbered lists, and bullet points. When scanning the documentation visually, you should feel like you're adminiring a tasteful art piece.
+
+<good_example_of_writing>
+#### macOS
+
+The most common fix is switching to bash. Navigate to Cline Settings → Terminal → Default Terminal Profile and select "bash" from the dropdown.
+
+If you're still having issues, Oh-My-Zsh might be interfering with terminal integration. Try temporarily disabling it:
+- Run `mv ~/.zshrc ~/.zshrc.backup` 
+- Restart VSCode
+
+You can also add `export TERM=xterm-256color` to your shell configuration file to improve compatibility.
+
+#### Windows
+
+PowerShell 7 provides the most reliable experience. Install it from the Microsoft Store, then select it in your Cline settings.
+
+Still seeing problems? Try these solutions:
+- Disable Windows ConPTY: VSCode Settings → Terminal › Integrated: Windows Enable Conpty → uncheck
+- Switch to Command Prompt (cmd.exe) - sometimes simpler shells work better
+
+#### Linux
+
+Bash is your most dependable option. Select it in Cline settings if you haven't already.
+
+Check these common issues:
+- Ensure VSCode has terminal access permissions
+- Temporarily comment out custom prompt configurations in your `.bashrc`
+</good_example_of_writing>
+
+This is much more natural to read. Writing this way creates a conversational flow, and bullet points are used idiomatically.
+
+# Using Mintlify Components Idiomatically
+
+Mintlify's custom components can transform basic documentation into engaging, scannable content that users actually want to read. Here's how to use them effectively.
+
+## Visual Content with Frames
+
+Videos and images should be wrapped in `<Frame>` components rather than using raw HTML or markdown. This creates consistent styling and proper responsive behavior.
+
+For videos, embed them directly rather than linking externally. Users are much more likely to watch a 30-second demonstration than click through to another platform:
+
+```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!

 ## 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.

+### Local Development Instructions
+
+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
+4. Testing
+    - Run `npm run test` to run tests locally. 
+    - Before submitting PR, run `npm run format:fix` to format your code
+    - Run `npm run test:ci` to run tests locally

With tools that let him create & edit files, explore large projects, use the browser, and execute terminal commands (after you grant permission), he can assist you in ways that go beyond code completion or tech support. Cline can even use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to create new tools and extend his own capabilities.

 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.

-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

----
-title: "Checkpoints and Messages"
-description: "When working with AI coding assistants, it's easy to lose control as they make rapid changes to your codebase. That's why we built Checkpoints - your safety net for experimenting confidently."
----
-
-Checkpoints automatically save snapshots of your workspace after each step in a task. This powerful feature lets you:
-
--   Track and review changes made during a task
--   Roll back to any previous point if needed
--   Experiment confidently with auto-approve mode
--   Maintain full control over your workspace
-
-### ⚙️ How Checkpoints Work
-
-Cline creates a checkpoint after each tool use (file edits, commands, etc.). These checkpoints:
-
--   Work alongside your Git workflow without interference
--   Maintain context between restores
--   Use a shadow Git repository to track changes
-
-For example, if you're working on a feature and Cline makes multiple file changes, each change creates a checkpoint. This means you can review each modification and, if needed, roll back to any point without affecting your main Git repository.
-
-#### Viewing Changes & Restoring to Checkpoint
-
-After each tool use, you can:
-
-1. Click the "Compare" button to see modified files
-2. Click the "Restore" button to open restore options
-
-<Frame>
-	<img
-		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(13).png"
-		alt="Checkpoint comparison and restore options"
-	/>
-</Frame>
-
-#### Rolling Back
-
-To restore to a previous point:
-
-1. Click the "Restore" button next to any step
-2. Choose from three options:
-    - **Restore Task and Workspace**: Reset both codebase and task to that point
-    - **Restore Task Only**: Keep codebase changes but revert task context
-    - **Restore Workspace Only**: Reset codebase while preserving task context
-
-Example: If Cline makes changes you don't like while styling a component, you can use "Restore Workspace Only" to revert the code changes while keeping the conversation context, allowing you to try a different approach.
-
-### 💡 Use Cases
-
-Checkpoints let you be more experimental with Cline. While human coding is often methodical and iterative, AI can make substantial changes quickly. Checkpoints help you track these changes and revert if needed.
-
-#### 1. Using Auto-Approve Mode
-
--   Provides safety net for rapid iterations
--   Makes it easy to undo unexpected results
-
-#### 2. Testing Different Approaches
-
--   Try multiple solutions confidently
--   Compare different implementations
--   Quickly revert to working states
--   Ideal for exploring different design patterns or architectural approaches
-
-<Frame caption="In this case, I didn't like the changes Cline made to my robot dog-walking website (still working on the robots) and I wanted to revert both the codebase and the task to before any changes were made so I could start fresh.">
-	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/checkpointsDemo.gif" alt="Checkpoint restore demo" />
-</Frame>
-
-### ✨ Best Practices
-
-1. Use checkpoints as safety nets when experimenting
-2. Leverage auto-approve mode more confidently, knowing you can always roll back
-3. Restore selectively based on needs:
-
-    - Use "Restore Task and Workspace" for a fresh start, reversing changes to files and the task conversation.
-    - Use "Restore Task Only" to try different prompts, but leave all files as they exist
-    - Use "Restore Workspace Only" to attempt different implementations, or prune context from the task
-
-🛟 Checkpoints are your safety net when working with Cline, enabling you to experiment freely while maintaining full control over your codebase. Whether you're refactoring a complex component, trying different implementation approaches, or using auto-approve mode for rapid development, checkpoints ensure you can always review changes and roll back if needed.
-
-#### 🗑️ Deleting Checkpoints
-
-You can delete all checkpoints by using the **"Delete All History"** button in the task history menu. Note that this will also delete all tasks. Checkpoints are stored in VS Code's globalStorage.
-
----
-
-## Editing Messages
-
-Cline allows you to edit chat messages in a task after they've been submitted (with the exception of the message that started the task).
-
-Perhaps you didn't get the results you wanted, thought of a better way to phrase your request, or need to add more information. Editing your message allows you to re-submit a request without starting over or restoring your files or workspace with checkpoints. There are two Restore options:
-
--   **"Restore Chat"** restores just the task state and re-submits an API request to your provider with your edited message.
-
--   **"Restore All"** restores both the task state and workspace state before re-submitting an API request. "Workspace state" refers to the condition of your workspace (files, content, etc.) at different points in the conversation.
-
-**Interactive Editing:**
-
--   Messages can be clicked to enter edit mode
--   Cline automatically selects all text when entering edit mode
-
-**Keyboard Shortcuts:**
-
--   Escape: Exit edit mode
--   Enter: Restore just the task
--   Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: Restore the task and workspace
--   Shift + Enter: Insert new line / line break

----
-title: "Slash Commands"
----
-
-#### Overview
-
-Cline provides slash commands as a quick way to invoke specific tools or actions directly from the chat input, offering shortcuts for common operations. This page details the available slash commands and their usage.
-
-#### /newtask
-
-The `/newtask` slash command provides a fast, user-initiated way to leverage the `new_task` tool's functionality for branching explorations or managing long sessions without waiting for Cline to suggest it.
-
-**Functionality:**
-
-1. **Initiation:** Typing `/newtask` in the chat input signals Cline to prepare for starting a new task session.
-2. **Context Proposal:** Cline proposes creating a new task and typically suggests context to preload based on the current session (summarizing key aspects like current work, technical concepts, relevant files, problems solved, and next steps).
-3. **User Confirmation:** You will receive a confirmation prompt (via the `ask_followup_question` tool) displaying the proposed context. You can approve it directly or modify the context before the new task begins.
-4. **New Session:** Upon confirmation, Cline ends the current task session and immediately starts a new one, preloaded with the approved context.
-
-**Benefit:** Allows you to cleanly branch your work or start a new phase while carrying over essential background information ("knowledge transfer") without manual copying or losing the thread of the previous session.
-
-#### /smol (alias /compact)
-
-The `/smol` slash command (with `/compact` as an alias) allows you to condense the chat history **within your current task**. This is useful when a conversation becomes very long, potentially impacting performance or making it harder for the model to maintain focus.
-
-**Functionality:**
-
-1. **Initiation:** Typing `/smol` or `/compact` tells Cline you want to condense the current chat history. You can optionally add instructions after the command to guide the summarization process (e.g., `/smol focus only on the database changes` or `/smol be concise, use bullet points`).
-2. **Summarization:** Cline analyzes the conversation history, considering any additional instructions provided, and generates a summary focusing on key elements: recent discussion points, important decisions, technical concepts, relevant files, problems solved, and planned next steps. Cline determines the appropriate length and detail for the summary. It retains the beginning and very recent parts of the chat while summarizing the middle sections.
-3. **User Confirmation:** Cline presents this generated summary to you via a confirmation prompt and asks if it accurately reflects the essential context.
-4. **Condensing:** If you approve the summary, Cline replaces the summarized middle portion of the chat history in its active context with the generated summary. This reduces the overall token count for subsequent interactions within the _same task_.
-5. **Feedback:** If you reject the summary or provide feedback, Cline will retain the original history and incorporate your feedback for future actions.
-
-**Benefit:** Helps maintain focus and manage token usage during very long, continuous tasks (like deep debugging or extended feature development) without needing to start an entirely new task session. Allows user guidance on the summarization focus.
-
-#### When to Use Which?
-
-Choosing between `/newtask` and `/smol` depends on your goal:
-
--   Use `/smol` (or `/compact`) when:
-    -   You want to continue the **same task**, but the chat history has become very long or costly.
-    -   You need to reduce token usage for upcoming interactions within the current workflow.
-    -   Example: Deep debugging session where you want to summarize previous steps before continuing.
--   Use `/newtask` when:
-    -   You have finished one phase of work and want to start a **fresh, related task**.
-    -   You want to branch your exploration while preserving key context from the previous session.
-    -   Example: Moving from developing Feature A to starting work on Feature B, carrying over relevant architectural decisions.
-
-#### Why Manage Context?
-
-While Cline supports large context windows, actively managing context using tools and commands like `/newtask` and `/smol` is often beneficial:
-
--   **Performance:** Large language models can sometimes experience performance degradation or lose focus when context windows become extremely full (e.g., over 50-75% capacity, depending on the model). Condensing or resetting context can help maintain optimal performance.
--   **Relevance:** Summarizing or starting fresh ensures the most relevant information is prioritized in the context window.
--   **Cost:** Reducing the number of tokens sent to the model in each turn can help manage costs, especially with more expensive models.
-
-Using `/newtask` and `/smol` provides you with direct control over the conversation context, allowing for more efficient and effective interaction with Cline.

+
+File mentions let you pull any file from your workspace directly into your conversation with Cline. No more copying and pasting code snippets - just type `@/` and point to the file you need help with.
+
+When you type `@/` in the chat, Cline shows your workspace files. Navigate through folders, select the file you want, and it's instantly available to Cline - complete with all imports, related functions, and surrounding context.
+
+I use file mentions constantly when debugging. Instead of trying to figure out which parts of my code to copy over, I just reference the file directly:
+
+```
+I'm getting this error when my form submits: @terminal
+
+Here's my component: @/src/components/ContactForm.jsx
+
+And the API endpoint: @/src/api/contact.js
+
+What am I missing?
+```
+
+This gives Cline everything it needs - the error message, the component code, and the API endpoint - all without me having to copy anything. Cline can see imports, dependencies, and all the surrounding context that might be causing the issue.
+
+File mentions shine when you're dealing with complex bugs that span multiple files. Before, I'd have to carefully copy each relevant file, making sure I didn't miss anything important. Now I just reference each file with `@/` and Cline gets the complete picture.
+
+Next time you're stuck on a problem, try using file mentions instead of copying code. You'll save time and get better answers because Cline has all the context it needs.
+
+## How It Works Under the Hood

+Folder mentions let you bring entire directories into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@/` followed by a folder path ending with a slash, and Cline gets access to the folder structure and its contents.
+
+When you type `@/` in chat, Cline shows your workspace files and folders. Navigate to the folder you want, make sure to include the trailing slash, and Cline will see the folder's structure and contents.
+
+I use folder mentions when I need help understanding or refactoring a whole section of my codebase. Instead of referencing individual files one by one, I can just point to the entire directory:
+
+```
+I'm trying to understand how the authentication flow works in my app.
+Can you explain the structure and relationships between the files in @/src/auth/?
+```
+
+Cline can then see all the files in the auth directory, their contents, and how they relate to each other. This gives it the full context to explain complex interactions between multiple files.
+
+Folder mentions are also perfect for getting help with project organization. When I'm unsure if my project structure makes sense, I'll ask Cline to review it:

+Git mentions let you bring your repository's history and changes directly into your conversation with Cline. You can reference uncommitted changes with `@git-changes` or specific commits with `@[commit-hash]`.
+
+When you type `@` in chat, you can select "Git Changes" from the menu or type `@git-changes` directly. For specific commits, type `@` followed by the commit hash (at least 7 characters). Cline will immediately see the git status, diffs, commit messages, and other relevant information.
+
+I use git mentions constantly when I'm trying to understand code changes or troubleshoot issues introduced by recent commits. Instead of trying to copy and paste diffs or commit logs, I just ask:
+
+```
+I think this commit broke our authentication flow: @a1b2c3d
+
+Can you explain what changed and why it might be causing the issue?
+```
+
+This gives Cline the complete commit information, including the commit message, author, date, and the full diff. Cline can then analyze exactly what changed and how it might affect other parts of the codebase.
+
+The `@git-changes` mention is perfect when you're working on changes and want feedback before committing:

+
+## Why @ Mentions Matter
+
+@ mentions transform how you interact with Cline by:
+
+1. **Eliminating copy-paste**: No more copying and pasting code, error messages, or terminal output. Just reference them directly.
+
+2. **Preserving context**: Cline sees the complete context, including imports, related functions, and surrounding code that might be relevant.
+
+3. **Maintaining formatting**: Terminal output, error messages, and web content keep their formatting, making them easier to understand.
+
+4. **Enabling complex workflows**: Combine multiple @ mentions to give Cline a complete picture of your problem:
+
+    ```
+    I'm getting these errors: @problems
+
+    Here's my component: @/src/components/Form.jsx
+    And the API endpoint: @/src/api/users.js
+
+    The error happens when I submit: @terminal
+
+    I think this commit might have caused it: @a1b2c3d
+    ```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+To use @ mentions:
+
+1. Type `@` in the chat input
+2. Select the type of mention from the menu or continue typing
+3. For files and folders, navigate through your workspace structure
+4. Send your message as usual
+
+Cline will automatically process the mentions and include the referenced content in the context sent to the AI.
+
+Try using @ mentions in your next conversation with Cline - you'll be amazed at how much more efficient and effective your interactions become when you can seamlessly bring in external context.
+
+## How It Works Under the Hood
+
+When you use @ mentions in your messages, there's a sophisticated process happening behind the scenes:
+
+1. **Detection**: When you send a message, Cline scans the text for @ mention patterns using regular expressions
+2. **Processing**: For each detected mention, Cline:
+    - Determines the mention type (file, folder, problems, terminal, git, URL)
+    - Fetches the relevant content (file contents, terminal output, etc.)
+    - Formats the content appropriately
+3. **Enhancement**: The original message is enhanced with structured data:
+
+    ```
+    Your original message with @/path/to/file
+
+    <file_content path="/path/to/file">
+    [Complete file content]
+    </file_content>
+    ```
+
+4. **Context Inclusion**: This enhanced message with all the embedded content is sent to the AI model
+5. **Seamless Response**: The AI can now "see" all the referenced content as if you had manually copied and pasted it
+
+This entire process happens automatically and seamlessly whenever you use @ mentions, giving the AI complete context without you having to manually copy anything.
+
+Each type of @ mention has its own specific implementation details, which you can find in their respective documentation pages.

+
+Next time you're stuck on errors, try using `@problems` instead of copying error messages. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete error context and locations.
+
+## How It Works Under the Hood

+When you use the problems mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
+
+1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@problems` pattern in your text
+2. The extension calls VSCode's built-in `vscode.languages.getDiagnostics()` API to get all errors and warnings
+3. It formats these diagnostics into a structured text representation with file paths, line numbers, and error messages
+4. The formatted problems list is appended to your message in a structured format:
+    ```

+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/auto-approve.png" alt="Auto Approve" />
+</Frame>
+
+## How it works
+
+By default, Cline will ask for your permission before calling any tool, including reading or writing files.
+
+If you want to allow Cline to do something without asking, you can set the Auto Approve permission for that tool.
+
+## Permission Options
+
+-   **Read project files**
+
+    -   Allows Cline to read files within your current workspace without asking
+    -   **Read all files**
+        -   Extends read permission to files outside your workspace (system files, config files, etc.)
+
+-   **Edit project files**
+
+    -   Allows Cline to modify files within your current workspace without confirmation
+    -   **Edit all files**
+        -   Extends modification permission to files outside your workspace
+
+-   **Execute safe commands**
+
+    -   Allows execution of terminal commands that the model deems non-destructive
+    -   **Execute all commands**
+        -   Permits execution of any terminal command without asking
+
+-   **Use the browser**
+
+    -   Allows Cline to use the browser tool to fetch web content
+
+-   **Use MCP servers**
+
+    -   Permits connection to and usage of MCP servers for extended functionality
+
+-   **Maximum requests**
+    -   Sets the number of consecutive automated actions Cline can take before requiring your input
+
+## Best Practices
+
+Personally, I like to keep auto-editing disabled because it gives me a chance to review changes every step of the way.
+
+For most serious development workflows, I recommend starting with:
+
+-   Auto-approving read access to project files
+-   Setting a reasonable maximum request limit (10-20)
+
+This gives Cline enough freedom to explore your codebase without constant interruptions, while still requiring permission for edits or potentially destructive actions.
+
+As you build more trust in Cline's capabilities with your specific projects, you can gradually increase the permissions to match your comfort level.
+
+Remember that you can always adjust these settings as your needs change - tighten permissions for critical production work, or loosen them when prototyping and exploring.
+
+You can even use the quick "star" actions to quickly toggle your auto-approved selections on and off as you go.

+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>

+
+Checkpoints automatically save snapshots of your workspace after each step in a task. This feature lets you track changes, roll back when needed, and experiment confidently with your code.
+
+## How Checkpoints Work
+
+Cline creates a checkpoint after each tool use (file edits, commands, etc.). These checkpoints:
+
+-   Work alongside your Git workflow without interference
+-   Maintain context between restores
+-   Use a shadow Git repository to track changes
+
+For example, if you're working on a feature and Cline makes multiple file changes, each change creates a checkpoint. This means you can review each modification and, if needed, roll back to any point without affecting your main Git repository.
+
+## Viewing Changes & Restoring
+
+After each tool use, you can:
+
+1. Click the "Compare" button to see modified files
+2. Click the "Restore" button to open restore options
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(13).png"
+		alt="Checkpoint comparison and restore options"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+## Restore Options
+
+To restore to a previous point:
+
+1. Click the "Restore" button next to any step
+2. Choose from three options:
+    - **Restore Task and Workspace**: Reset both codebase and task to that point
+    - **Restore Task Only**: Keep codebase changes but revert task context
+    - **Restore Workspace Only**: Reset codebase while preserving task context
+
+Example: If Cline makes changes you don't like while styling a component, you can use "Restore Workspace Only" to revert the code changes while keeping the conversation context, allowing you to try a different approach.
+
+<Frame caption="Reverting both codebase and task to before any changes were made to start fresh">
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/checkpointsDemo.gif" alt="Checkpoint restore demo" />
+</Frame>
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Checkpoints let you be more experimental with Cline. While human coding is often methodical and iterative, AI can make substantial changes quickly. Checkpoints help you track these changes and revert if needed.
+
+### Using Auto-Approve Mode
+
+-   Provides safety net for rapid iterations
+-   Makes it easy to undo unexpected results
+
+### Testing Different Approaches
+
+-   Try multiple solutions confidently
+-   Compare different implementations
+-   Quickly revert to working states
+-   Ideal for exploring different design patterns or architectural approaches
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. Use checkpoints as safety nets when experimenting
+2. Leverage auto-approve mode more confidently, knowing you can always roll back
+3. Restore selectively based on needs:
+    - Use "Restore Task and Workspace" for a fresh start
+    - Use "Restore Task Only" to try different prompts, but keep file changes
+    - Use "Restore Workspace Only" to attempt different implementations while preserving conversation context
+
+## Relationship with Message Editing
+
+The [message editing feature](/features/editing-messages) uses checkpoints under the hood when you select the "Restore All" option. This allows you to not only edit and resubmit your message but also restore your workspace to the state it was in at that point in the conversation.
+
+## Deleting Checkpoints
+
+You can delete all checkpoints by using the **"Delete All History"** button in the task history menu. Note that this will also delete all tasks. Checkpoints are stored in VS Code's globalStorage.

+Cline's code commands bring AI assistance directly into your editor, letting you interact with your code without leaving your workflow. With a simple right-click, you can add code to Cline, and through the lightbulb menu, you can fix errors, get explanations, or improve your code.
+
+## Available Code Commands
+
+When you interact with code in your editor, you can access Cline commands in two ways:
+
+### Right-Click Context Menu
+
+When you right-click on selected code, you'll see:
+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/code-commands.png" alt="Right Click Menu" />
+</Frame>
+
+#### Add to Cline
+
+The "Add to Cline" command sends your selected code to the Cline chat panel. This is perfect for:
+
+-   Asking questions about specific code snippets
+-   Requesting improvements or optimizations
+-   Getting explanations of complex logic
+
+When you use this command, Cline automatically includes:
+
+-   The file path (as a file mention)
+-   The selected code with proper formatting
+-   The programming language for accurate syntax highlighting
+
+### Lightbulb Menu (Code Actions)
+
+When you see a lightbulb icon in your editor, click it to access these Cline commands:
+
+<Frame>
+	<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/lightbulb-actions.png" alt="Lightbulb Menu" />
+</Frame>
+
+#### Fix with Cline
+
+The "Fix with Cline" command appears in the lightbulb menu when your code has errors or warnings. This command:
+
+1. Captures the selected code
+2. Identifies the errors or warnings from VSCode's diagnostics
+3. Sends both to Cline with a request to fix the issues
+4. Provides a solution that addresses the specific problems
+
+This is incredibly useful for quickly resolving syntax errors, linter warnings, or type issues without having to manually describe the problem.
+
+#### Explain with Cline
+
+The "Explain with Cline" command helps you understand complex code. When you select code and use this command from the lightbulb menu, Cline:
+
+1. Analyzes the selected code
+2. Provides a clear explanation of what the code does
+3. Breaks down complex logic into understandable parts
+4. Highlights important patterns or techniques used
+
+#### Improve with Cline
+
+The "Improve with Cline" command helps you enhance your code. When you select code and use this command from the lightbulb menu, Cline:
+
+1. Analyzes the selected code for potential improvements
+2. Suggests optimizations, refactorings, or better practices
+3. Explains the reasoning behind the suggested changes
+4. Provides improved code that maintains the original functionality
+
+## How to Use Code Commands
+
+Using Cline's code commands is simple:
+
+### For Right-Click Commands:
+
+1. Select the code you want to work with
+2. Right-click to open the context menu
+3. Choose "Add to Cline"
+4. View the result in the Cline chat panel
+
+### For Lightbulb Menu Commands:
+
+1. Select the code you want to work with
+2. Look for the lightbulb icon that appears in the editor gutter
+3. Click the lightbulb to see available actions
+4. Choose the appropriate Cline command (Fix, Explain, or Improve)
+5. View the result in the Cline chat panel
+
+After using any command, you can:
+
+-   Ask follow-up questions
+-   Request modifications to the solution
+-   Apply the changes back to your code
+
+## How It Works Under the Hood
+
+When you use a code command, here's what happens behind the scenes:
+
+1. **Code Selection**: The extension captures your selected code and its context
+2. **Metadata Collection**: Cline gathers important metadata:
+
+    - File path and name
+    - Programming language
+    - Any associated diagnostics (errors/warnings)
+    - Surrounding code context when relevant
+
+3. **Command Processing**:
+
+    - For "Add to Cline," the code is formatted and sent to the chat panel
+    - For "Fix with Cline," the code and diagnostics are analyzed and a fix is generated
+    - For "Explain with Cline," the code is analyzed to provide a clear explanation
+    - For "Improve with Cline," the code is analyzed for potential optimizations and improvements
+
+4. **Integration with Chat**: The results appear in the Cline chat panel, where you can:
+    - See the AI's response
+    - Ask follow-up questions
+    - Apply suggested changes
+
+This seamless integration between your editor and Cline's AI capabilities makes it easy to get assistance without disrupting your coding flow.
+
+## Tips for Effective Use
+
+-   **Select complete logical units**: When possible, select entire functions, classes, or modules to give Cline complete context
+-   **Include imports**: For language-specific help, include relevant imports so Cline understands dependencies
+-   **Combine with @ mentions**: For complex issues, use code commands along with file or problem mentions for more context
+-   **Use keyboard shortcuts**: Speed up your workflow by [assigning keyboard shortcuts](/features/commands-and-shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts) to common code commands
+
+Next time you're struggling with a piece of code, try using Cline's code commands instead of switching to a separate chat interface. You'll be amazed at how much more efficient your workflow becomes when AI assistance is integrated directly into your editor.

+Cline's Git integration brings AI assistance directly to your version control workflow. Generate commit messages without leaving your editor.
+
+## Generate Commit Message
+
+One of the most useful Git integrations is the ability to automatically generate meaningful commit messages:
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/generate-commit-message-with-cline.png"
+		alt="Generate Commit Message with Cline"

+
+1. Make your changes and stage them in Git
+2. Click the robot icon in the Source Control view or run the "Generate Commit Message with Cline" command
+3. Cline analyzes your changes and generates a descriptive commit message
+4. The message is automatically inserted into the commit message input box
+
+The generated commit messages:
+
+-   Start with a concise summary (50-72 characters)
+-   Use imperative mood (e.g., "Add feature" not "Added feature")
+-   Describe what was changed and why
+-   Follow Git best practices
+
+This feature saves time and ensures your commit history is consistent and informative.
+
+<Tip>
+	For information about using `@git-changes` and `@[commit-hash]` mentions in your chat messages, see the [Git
+	Mentions](/features/at-mentions/git-mentions) documentation.
+</Tip>
+
+## How It Works
+
+When you use Cline's commit message generation feature, here's what happens behind the scenes:
+
+1. Cline retrieves the current Git diff using `getWorkingState()`
+2. It formats this diff into a specialized prompt for the AI
+3. The AI analyzes the changes and generates an appropriate commit message
+4. The message is extracted and inserted into the Git commit message input box
+
+This process uses your current Cline API configuration, so the quality of the generated messages matches your chosen AI model.
+
+## Tips for Effective Use
+
+-   **Generate commit messages for complex changes**: The AI excels at summarizing multiple related changes into a coherent message.
+
+-   **Review and edit generated messages**: While the AI generates high-quality messages, it's always good practice to review and adjust them if needed.
+
+-   **Stage related changes together**: For the best results, stage related changes together so the AI can generate a cohesive message.
+
+-   **Use for consistent commit history**: Using the generate commit message feature helps maintain a consistent style across your commit history.
+
+## How It Works Under the Hood
+
+The commit message generation leverages VSCode's Git extension API to access repository information:
+
+1. When you trigger the command:
+    - Cline gets the current diff
+    - It sends this to the AI with specific instructions for commit message formatting
+    - It parses the AI's response
+    - It accesses the Git extension API to set the commit message
+
+This integration with Git makes it easy to generate high-quality commit messages without disrupting your workflow.
+
+Next time you're struggling to write a good commit message, try using Cline's commit message generation. You'll save time and improve your version control workflow with AI assistance right where you need it.

+
+## Right-Click Terminal Integration
+
+When you're working in the VSCode terminal and see output you want to discuss with Cline:
+
+1. Right-click in the terminal
+2. Select "Add to Cline" from the context menu
+3. The terminal output is immediately sent to the Cline chat panel
+
+This is perfect for:
+
+-   Debugging build errors
+-   Understanding test failures
+-   Analyzing command output
+-   Getting help with error messages
+
+The right-click terminal integration is especially useful when you're already working in the terminal and encounter an issue.
+
+Instead of switching context to the Cline chat panel and typing a description of the problem, you can send the terminal output directly to Cline with just a couple of clicks.
+
+Alternatively, you can use the [`@terminal`](/features/at-mentions/terminal-mentions) mention to send the full terminal output to Cline.
+
+<Tip>
+	For information about using `@terminal` mentions in your chat messages, see the [Terminal
+	Mentions](/features/at-mentions/terminal-mentions) documentation.
+</Tip>
+
+## How Terminal Integration Works
+
+When you use the right-click terminal integration, Cline:
+
+1. Captures the terminal output with all formatting preserved
+2. Includes the complete context, including command history and results
+3. Formats it appropriately for the AI to understand
+4. Enables the AI to see exactly what you're seeing
+
+This gives Cline the full context it needs to provide accurate help with terminal-related issues.
+
+## Behind the Scenes
+
+The terminal integration uses a clever technique to capture terminal output:
+
+1. When you trigger the integration, Cline:
+
+    - Temporarily saves your current clipboard content
+    - Selects all terminal content (or uses your existing selection)
+    - Copies it to the clipboard
+    - Reads the clipboard to get the terminal content
+    - Restores your original clipboard content
+
+2. The terminal content is then:
+    - Formatted with proper syntax highlighting
+    - Added to your message or sent as a new message
+    - Enhanced with additional context when needed
+
+This approach ensures that all terminal output, including colors and formatting, is accurately captured without affecting your clipboard.
+
+## Tips for Effective Use
+
+-   **Use terminal integration for error messages**: When you encounter an error in the terminal, sending it to Cline often results in faster resolution than trying to describe the error.
+
+-   **Select specific output when needed**: By default, the integration captures all terminal content, but you can also select specific lines before right-clicking to focus on just the relevant output.
+
+-   **Combine terminal outputs with file mentions**: After sending terminal output to Cline, you can enhance your question by mentioning relevant files using the @ mentions feature.
+
+-   **Contextualize build & test outputs with the terminal**: Terminal integration is particularly useful for understanding complex build errors or test failures that span multiple lines.
+
+Next time you're staring at a cryptic error message in your terminal, try using Cline's terminal integration instead of copying and pasting. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete terminal context with proper formatting.
+
+## Troubleshooting Terminal Issues
+
+If you're experiencing issues with terminal integration, such as "Shell Integration Unavailable" or commands not showing output, please refer to our comprehensive [Terminal Integration Troubleshooting Guide](/troubleshooting/terminal-integration-guide).
+
+The troubleshooting guide covers:
+
+-   Common terminal integration issues and quick fixes
+-   Platform-specific solutions for Windows, macOS, and Linux
+-   Shell-specific configurations for zsh, bash, PowerShell, and more
+-   Advanced debugging techniques
+-   Terminal settings optimization
+
+<Tip>
+	**Quick Fix**: Most terminal issues can be resolved by switching to bash in the Cline settings and increasing the shell
+	integration timeout to 10 seconds.

+
+Cline allows you to edit chat messages in a task after they've been submitted. This feature lets you refine your requests without starting a new task, helping you get better results with minimal disruption to your workflow.
+
+## When to Edit Messages
+
+You might want to edit a message when:
+
+-   You didn't get the results you wanted
+-   You thought of a better way to phrase your request
+-   You need to add more information or context
+-   You made a typo or error in your original message
+
+## How to Edit Messages
+
+1. Click on any message in the conversation (except the initial task message)
+2. Edit the text as needed
+3. Use the restore options to resubmit your request
+
+<Frame>
+	<img
+		src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/message-editing.png"
+		alt="Message editing interface"
+	/>
+</Frame>
+
+## Restore Options
+
+When you edit a message, you have two options for restoring:
+
+### Restore Chat
+
+The "Restore Chat" option:
+
+-   Restores just the task state
+-   Re-submits an API request with your edited message
+-   Preserves all file changes made up to that point
+-   Is useful when you want to keep the current state of your workspace
+
+### Restore All
+
+The "Restore All" option:
+
+-   Restores both the task state and workspace state
+-   Re-submits an API request with your edited message
+-   Reverts your workspace to how it was at that point in the conversation
+-   Uses [checkpoints](/features/checkpoints) under the hood to restore your workspace
+-   Is useful when you want to try a completely different approach
+
+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+When editing a message, you can use these keyboard shortcuts:
+
+-   **Escape**: Exit edit mode without making changes
+-   **Enter**: Restore just the task (equivalent to "Restore Chat")
+-   **Cmd/Ctrl + Enter**: Restore the task and workspace (equivalent to "Restore All")
+-   **Shift + Enter**: Insert a new line / line break in your message
+
+## Best Practices
+
+-   Use message editing for minor adjustments to your requests
+-   For major changes in direction, consider starting a new task
+-   When using "Restore All," be aware that any file changes made after that message will be reverted
+-   Edit messages closer to the beginning of a conversation to avoid losing significant progress

+
+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.

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

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

+Hey, the PR looks good overall but I'm concerned about removing those timeouts. Those were probably there for a reason - VSCode's UI can be finicky with timing.
+
+Could you add back the timeouts after focusing the sidebar? Something like:
+
+```typescript
+await vscode.commands.executeCommand("claude-dev.SidebarProvider.focus")
+await setTimeoutPromise(100) // Give UI time to update
+visibleWebview = WebviewProvider.getSidebarInstance()
+```

+<request_changes_comment>
+Heya @alejandropta thanks for working on this!
+
+A few notes:
+1 - Adding additional info to the environment variables is fairly problematic because env variables get appended to **every single message**. I don't think this is justifiable for a somewhat niche use case.
+2 - Adding this option to settings to include that could be an option, but we want our options to be simple and straightforward for new users
+3 - We're working on revisualizing the way our settings page is displayed/organized, and this could potentially be reconciled once that is in and our settings page is more clearly delineated.
+
+So until the settings page is update, and this is added to settings in a way that's clean and doesn't confuse new users, I don't think we can merge this. Please bear with us.
+</request_changes_comment>
+<request_changes_comment>
+Also, don't forget to add a changeset since this fixes a user-facing bug.
+
+The architectural change is solid - moving the focus logic to the command handlers makes sense. Just don't want to introduce subtle timing issues by removing those timeouts.

-## 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

+## 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.

-    - Reliable API
-    - Strong multi-file understanding
+## 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).

+
+### Overview
+
+-   **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.
+
+Learn more about Cerebras's technology in their blog posts:

+
+## 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)

+<br />
+
+<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.
