Ara 12820a4042 Improve Gemini Retry Handling UI and UX (#3589)
* Feat: Display API auto-retry status in chat UI

This commit enhances user experience by providing real-time feedback
on automatic API request retries directly within the chat interface.
When an API request encounters a retriable error (e.g., 429), the UI
will now indicate that a retry is in progress, showing the current
attempt, maximum attempts, and delay until the next attempt.

Key changes:
- Modified the `withRetry` decorator in `src/api/retry.ts` to accept
  an `onRetryAttempt` callback. This callback is invoked before each
  retry, passing details like attempt number, max retries, delay, and
  the error that triggered the retry.
- `Task` (`src/core/task/index.ts`) now provides this callback to API
  handlers. It updates the `api_req_started` message in `clineMessages`
  with `retryStatus` information and posts the updated state to the
  webview. It also clears retry status if retries are exhausted.
- The `ChatRow.tsx` component in the webview UI has been updated to
  display this retry status (e.g., "Retrying (attempt X of Y, next in Zs)...").
  If retries are exhausted, the standard error display is shown.
- Data structures in `src/shared/` (ExtensionMessage, api, proto/file)
  were updated to include `retryStatus` and the `onRetryAttempt` callback.
- Added test code to `GeminiHandler` (`src/api/providers/gemini.ts`) to
  simulate 429 errors, allowing for easier testing and verification of
  the retry feedback mechanism.

Sarah Fortune 8c565b5a7c Run the cline extension as a standalone process outside of vscode. (#3535)
* Add standalone cline server.

Add directory standalone/ with the scripts to generate
a cline instance that runs a gRPC service for the proto bus.

* Rm unused dependencies

* Build standalone extension

Build stubs for the whole vscode SDK.

Import extension.js instead of putting everything in one file.

Move all the files the extension needs at runtime in files/
  Use local packages for vscode and stub-utils instead of module alias.
  Move vscode-impls into the vscode module.
  Create separate package.json for the standalone extension in files/.

* Handlers for gRPC requests

Add code to the bottom of extension.js to export the gRPC handlers.
Add a wrapper to the handlers to catch and log extensions, otherwise the whole server process fails.
Fix use of open module.

* Standalone gRPC server

Export handers from the extension.
Add reflection and healthcheck to the server.
Add vscode launch file for standalone server.

* Fix formatting

* Better error handling in the server template.

Exit if the server could not bind to the port.
Use internal error code if exception is thrown.

* Formatting

* Stop using google-protobuf npm module to generate JS for protos

The code generated by google-protobuf cannot serialize protos from plain objects. It needs the protos to be class instances created with ProtoExample.create().
But, the protos created in the extension are just POJOs.
Use protoLoader instead which is fine with plain objects.
Protoloader is also the method used in the grpc JS documentation: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/node/basics/#loading-service-descriptors-from-proto-files

* Rm proto that was removed in cline/cline

* Rm old protos when building standalone extension.

* Log gRPC requests

* feat(standalone): implement TypeScript gRPC-based standalone extension

The major improvement is that the gRPC implementation is now written in TypeScript instead of JavaScript, and the standalone extension is compiled together with the original extension rather than using the compiled JS output. This provides full type safety throughout the codebase and prevents issues with the TypeScript compiler renaming handlers during compilation, making the system more robust and maintainable.

- Add new standalone implementation files in src/standalone/ directory using TypeScript
- Implement gRPC server setup in extension-standalone.ts with full type safety
- Generate server setup code with service registrations
- Update build script to support the new standalone architecture
- Reorganize runtime files from standalone/files/ to standalone/runtime-files/
- Replace template-based server generation with gRPC service registration

* Fix issues when doing clean build

Use correct build dir in esbuild.js
Remove undefined type.

* Add handler for gRPC methods with streaming response.

Add a handler-wrapper for rpc's with streaming responses.

Fix issue where grpc-js won't deserialize protos in camelcase. It is the default
for generated code for protos to use camelcase (keepCase: false), but I cannot find
where is being set for the proto serializations to keep the case. For now, just convert the
properties of the proto messages to snake case. This is not a good
solution, but trying to fix this is time sink.

* Formatting

* Add streaming response support to the script that generates setup-server.ts

Add types for the handlers.

* Formatting

* Fix case conversion for gRPC requset protos as well.

Convert snake case to camelcase for incoming request protos.

* formatting

* Improve build process / building for standalone extension

Add separate configs for the extension and the standalone in the esbuild config.
Modules that use __dirname to load files at runtime are marked as external in the build config.
Rename vscode-impls to vscode-context.
Remove unecessary files from the standalone runtime.

* Rename extension-standalone.js to standalone.js

* Move generate-server-setup script to protos dir.

Add the script the npm target `protos`, so it is run when the protos are regenerated.

* formatting

* Add a post build step for the npm run target `protos` to format the generated files.

* Move generate-server-setup to scripts directory

* Add a JS script to package the standalone build, replacing the shell script.

Add a post build step for the standalone target that:
    * copies the vscode module files into the output directory.
    * checks that native modules are not included in the output
    * creates a zip of the build.

* Rm files that were included from merge by mistake

* Move scripts from standalone in scripts directory

Remove unused package.json files from standalone/

* Update scripts and launch.json to use correct paths

* During build install external modules in the dist directory.

Add package.json for the distribution.
Set the node path for the vscode launch config.
Make the prettier silent during `npm run protos`

* Fix ellipsis suggestions

kevinneung 0fcab4d989 Fix/chrome remote debugging user data dir (#3492)
* fix: Add required --user-data-dir flag when launching Chrome with remote debugging port

When Chrome is launched with the --remote-debugging-port flag, it requires a non-default user data directory to be specified using the --user-data-dir flag. Without this flag, Chrome shows the error 'DevTools remote debugging requires a non-default data directory' and the debug port is not opened.

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

Shravan Vadeghar 7d5d347cdd feat: Add optimized V2 parser for assistant messages (#3425)
This commit introduces `parseAssistantMessageV2`, a new function designed to parse assistant message strings containing text and XML-like tool usage tags (`<tool_name>...</tool_name>`, `<param_name>...</param_name>`).

Motivation:
The original parser (`V1`) used a character-by-character accumulator, which could lead to performance overhead due to repeated string concatenations and checks (`endsWith`). V2 aims to improve parsing efficiency.

Implementation Details (V2 vs V1):
- V2 iterates through the string using an index and checks for tags using `startsWith` with calculated offsets, avoiding the V1 accumulator.
- It tracks start indices for text, tools, and parameters, performing `slice` operations only when a block is completed or the string ends.
- Known tool and parameter opening tags are precomputed into Maps for potentially faster lookups.
- Special handling for nested tags within `write_to_file`/`new_rule` content parameters is preserved using `indexOf`/`lastIndexOf`.

Other Changes:
- The original parser implementation has been renamed to `parseAssistantMessageV1`.

The goal of this workflow is to take a changeset for a release of Cline, an autonomous coding agent extension that plugs right into your IDE, and write the updated announcement component, and the updated changelog.
For reference, here are some examples of how we converted previous changesets to announcement components / changelogs.
- 3.14
<changeset>
This PR was opened by the Changesets release GitHub action. When you're ready to do a release, you can merge this and publish to npm yourself or setup this action to publish automatically. If you're not ready to do a release yet, that's fine, whenever you add more changesets to main, this PR will be updated.

</changeset-pr-description>
The changeset pr is ALWAYS on the following branch: `changeset-release/main`.
I have the `gh` command line tool set up and authenticated, so you have everything you need.
The first step is to get the full diff from the changeset PR to look at the changes that were automatically made to the `CHANGELOG.md` file. By default it will automatically add a new section to the changelog.md file with the new version. The problem with the automatically generated section is that it just takes the text that the developers threw into their changeset files for each corresponding PR, and they can be pretty vague and bad. Additionally there's some stuff that is totally irrelevant for the end user, like minor refactoring changes. So I manually typically go in and update this section to be a proper changelog that will show up in our patchnotes. You can look at how the rest of the file is done because those are all good examples of us updating this to use good language for the end user. We usually put new features up top (and the most exciting flagship features at the very top), and then bug fixes/improvements at the bottom. Having some basic organization to the ordering of the bullet points by content is nice. But use common sense.
To handle this process effectively, do the following:
For each of the automatically generated bullet points in the Changelog.md, you should
1. Take the commit hash at the start of the bullet point, and use the `gh` command line tool find the PR that it was associated with.
2. Use the `gh` command to get the PR title/description/discussion to understand the context surrounding the PR.
3. Use the `gh` command line tool to get the full PR diff to fully understand the changes made in the code.
4. Synthesize that knowledge to determine (a) whether or not this change is relevant to end users and (b) what the text & ordering of the line should be.
5. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` accordingly
Do this for every single item in the list from the autogenerated bullet points. We want to be diligent and have a full understanding of every feature so we can make the best changelog ever!
Here are some principles for good changelogs from keepchangelog.com, a handy guide:
<keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
### Guiding Principles
- Changelogs are for humans, not machines.
- There should be an entry for every single version.
- The same types of changes should be grouped.
- The latest version comes first.
### Bullet points in the changelog should follow these principles:
- Types of changes
- Added for new features.
- Changed for changes in existing functionality.
- Deprecated for soon-to-be removed features.
- Removed for now removed features.
- Fixed for any bug fixes.
- Security in case of vulnerabilities.
</keepachangelog-pinciples-for-good-changelogs>
Lastly, when developers make a PR, they typically make a changeset. And they have 3 options when making the changeset:
1. Patch
2. Minor
3. Major
Sometimes they label something as minor when really it should just be a patch. Or vice versa. Because of this, the automatic version bump may be incorrect. So when starting out this workflow, you should use the <ask_followup_question> tool to confirm with me whether or not this should be a patch bump (show the old version number and what the proposed new version number would be) or a minor bump. Part of the release process is making sure the version in package.json that is automatically changed actually corresponds with what we decided the bump should actually be based on the features. ALL these modifications happen in the `changeset-release/main` branch btw.
<important_note>
Before doing any of this, make sure you check out the `changeset-release/main` and pull the most recent up to date changes. Then perform all this work in that branch.
New announcement banners should ONLY be made for minor version bumps or higher. That's another reason why double checking if the changelog warrants the bump is important.
Also, SUPER important: For any external contributors that aren't part of the cline github organization, we always want to add a (Thanks @username!) at the end of the changelog to attribute them properly. We're an open source project and it's ethical to do this.
</important_note>
Once the changelog looks good, and the version number looks good, we gotta double check that the version number in the changelog has the brackets around it. And as a final step, double check the package.json version number matches the latest number in the changelog. And as the ultimate final step we run `npm run install:all` to make sure the package version number permiates through the lock file.
<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
# Cline Release Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
## Before Starting
1. First, examine the changeset PR without checking it out:
```bash
gh pr view changeset-release/main
```
2. View the PR diff to see the auto-generated CHANGELOG.md changes:
```bash
gh pr diff changeset-release/main > changeset-diff.txt
cat changeset-diff.txt | grep -A 50 "CHANGELOG.md"
```
## Initial Setup
3. Once you're ready to start, checkout and update the changeset release branch:
```bash
git checkout changeset-release/main
git pull origin changeset-release/main
```
## Analyzing Each Change
4. For each commit hash in the auto-generated changelog entries:
a. Find the PR number associated with a commit hash:
```bash
gh pr list --search "<commit-hash>" --state merged
```
b. Get PR details for better context:
```bash
gh pr view <PR-number>
```
c. Check if the contributor is external to determine if attribution is needed:
```bash
# Extract username from PR
USERNAME=$(gh pr view <PR-number> --json author --jq .author.login)
# Check if user is a member of the Cline organization
# this command is a bit finnicky, but it 100% works.
# if you see a `Error executing command: The command ran successfully, but we couldn't capture its output. Please proceed accordingly.` error, just retry it until you actually get the output
# don't make any assumptions, just retry the command to actually get the output and determine if they're external or not.
# no output means they are an external contributor, otherwise if there is output they are an internal contributor (part of our github org)
gh api "orgs/cline/members" --jq "map(.login)" | grep -i "pashpashpash"
```
d. View the full PR diff to understand code changes:
```bash
gh pr diff <PR-number> > pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
cat pr-diff-<PR-number>.txt
```
## Updating the Changelog
5. Based on PR analysis, update the CHANGELOG.md with user-friendly descriptions:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the CHANGELOG.md file
- Group by feature type (Added, Changed, Fixed)
- Put most exciting features at the top
- Move bug fixes and small improvements to the bottom
- Use clear, end-user focused language
- For external contributors, add attribution at the end of the relevant entry: `(Thanks @username!)`
## Version Number Verification
6. Confirm the version bump is appropriate:
- Check package.json to verify the auto-generated version number:
```bash
cat package.json | grep "\"version\""
```
- If the feature set doesn't warrant a minor bump, use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to modify package.json
7. Ensure the version in CHANGELOG.md has brackets around it:
```
## [3.16.0]
```
## Creating the Announcement (for minor/major versions only)
8. If this is a minor version bump, create/update the announcement component:
- Use the `<replace_in_file>` tool to edit the src/views/components/announcement.tsx file
- Update the highlights based on key features
- Move previous version highlights to the "Previous Updates" section
- Use the previous announcement components as reference for structure
## Finalizing the Release
9. Update dependencies with the new version number:
```bash
npm run install:all
```
10. Commit your changes:
```bash
git add CHANGELOG.md package.json package-lock.json src/views/components/announcement.tsx
git commit -m "Update CHANGELOG.md and announcement for version 3.16.0"
```
11. Push your changes to the changeset branch:
```bash
git push origin changeset-release/main
```
12. Check that your changes pushed successfully:
```bash
git status
```

# 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:

<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
Great work!

<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.

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

### ✨ 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
When you use a file mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@/path/to/file` pattern in your text
2. The extension resolves the file path relative to your workspace root
3. It checks if the file is binary (like an image) or text-based
4. For text files, it reads the complete file content
5. The file content is appended to your message in a structured format:
```
<file_content path="path/to/file">
[Complete file content]
</file_content>
```
6. This enhanced message with the embedded file content is sent to the AI
7. The AI can now "see" the complete file content as if you had copied and pasted it
This seamless process happens automatically whenever you use a file mention, giving the AI full context without you having to manually copy anything.

Folder mentions let you bring entire directories into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@/` followed by a folder path ending with a slash, and Cline gets access to the folder structure and its contents.
When you type `@/` in chat, Cline shows your workspace files and folders. Navigate to the folder you want, make sure to include the trailing slash, and Cline will see the folder's structure and contents.
I use folder mentions when I need help understanding or refactoring a whole section of my codebase. Instead of referencing individual files one by one, I can just point to the entire directory:
```
I'm trying to understand how the authentication flow works in my app.
Can you explain the structure and relationships between the files in @/src/auth/?
```
Cline can then see all the files in the auth directory, their contents, and how they relate to each other. This gives it the full context to explain complex interactions between multiple files.
Folder mentions are also perfect for getting help with project organization. When I'm unsure if my project structure makes sense, I'll ask Cline to review it:
```
I'm setting up a new React project. Does this folder structure make sense? @/src/
What would you change to make it more maintainable as the project grows?
```
Next time you're working with multiple related files, try using folder mentions instead of referencing each file individually. You'll get more comprehensive help because Cline can see the bigger picture of how everything fits together.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use a folder mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@/path/to/folder/` pattern (with trailing slash) in your text

Git mentions let you bring your repository's history and changes directly into your conversation with Cline. You can reference uncommitted changes with `@git-changes` or specific commits with `@[commit-hash]`.
When you type `@` in chat, you can select "Git Changes" from the menu or type `@git-changes` directly. For specific commits, type `@` followed by the commit hash (at least 7 characters). Cline will immediately see the git status, diffs, commit messages, and other relevant information.
I use git mentions constantly when I'm trying to understand code changes or troubleshoot issues introduced by recent commits. Instead of trying to copy and paste diffs or commit logs, I just ask:
```
I think this commit broke our authentication flow: @a1b2c3d
Can you explain what changed and why it might be causing the issue?
```
This gives Cline the complete commit information, including the commit message, author, date, and the full diff. Cline can then analyze exactly what changed and how it might affect other parts of the codebase.
The `@git-changes` mention is perfect when you're working on changes and want feedback before committing:
```
Here are my current changes: @git-changes
I'm trying to implement a new feature for user profiles. Does my approach make sense?
Are there any potential issues or improvements you'd suggest?
```
This shows Cline all your uncommitted changes, including new files, modified files, and their diffs. Cline can then review your changes and provide feedback on your implementation.
Git mentions are especially powerful when combined with file mentions. When I'm investigating a bug, I'll often reference both:
```
I think this commit introduced a bug: @a1b2c3d
Here's the current implementation: @/src/components/Auth.jsx
How can I fix the issue while preserving the intended functionality?
```
Next time you're working with code changes or investigating issues, try using git mentions instead of manually describing or copying changes. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see exactly what changed and in what context.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use git mentions in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
### For Git Changes (`@git-changes`)
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@git-changes` pattern in your text
2. The extension runs git commands to get the current working state of your repository
3. It captures the output of `git status` and `git diff` to see all uncommitted changes
4. This information is appended to your message in a structured format:
```

modified: src/styles/main.css
[Complete diff output with all changes]
</git_working_state>
```
### For Specific Commits (`@[commit-hash]`)
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@` followed by a commit hash pattern
2. The extension runs `git show` and related commands to get information about that commit
3. It retrieves the commit message, author, date, and the complete diff
4. This information is appended to your message in a structured format:

When you type `@` in the chat input, Cline shows a menu of available mention types. These mentions let you reference files, folders, problems, terminal output, git changes, and even web content directly in your conversations.
## Available @ Mentions
Cline supports several types of @ mentions, each designed to bring different kinds of context into your conversations:
<Columns cols={2}>
<Card title="File Mentions" icon="file" href="/features/at-mentions/file-mentions">

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

The problems mention gives Cline instant access to all the errors and warnings in your workspace. Just type `@problems` and Cline can see every diagnostic issue VSCode has detected.
When you type `@` in chat, select "Problems" from the menu or just type `@problems` directly. Cline will immediately see all the errors and warnings from your workspace, complete with file locations and error messages.
I use the problems mention constantly when I'm stuck on build errors or TypeScript issues. Instead of trying to describe the errors or copy them one by one, I just ask:
```
I'm getting these TypeScript errors and I'm not sure how to fix them: @problems
Can you help me understand what's wrong and how to fix it?
```
This gives Cline the complete list of errors with their exact locations and messages. Cline can then analyze the patterns across multiple errors and suggest comprehensive solutions.
The problems mention is especially powerful when combined with file mentions. When I'm dealing with complex type errors, I'll reference both:
```
I'm getting these type errors: @problems
Here's my component: @/src/components/DataTable.tsx
And the types file: @/src/types/api.ts
How can I fix these issues?
```
This approach gives Cline everything it needs - the exact errors, the component code, and the type definitions - all without me having to copy anything manually.
Next time you're stuck on errors, try using `@problems` instead of copying error messages. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete error context and locations.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use the problems mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@problems` pattern in your text
2. The extension calls VSCode's built-in `vscode.languages.getDiagnostics()` API to get all errors and warnings
3. It formats these diagnostics into a structured text representation with file paths, line numbers, and error messages
4. The formatted problems list is appended to your message in a structured format:

URL mentions let you bring web content directly into your conversation with Cline. Just type `@` followed by any URL, and Cline can see the content of that webpage without you having to copy and paste anything.
When you type `@` in chat followed by a URL (like `@https://example.com`), Cline will fetch the content of that webpage and include it in the context. This works for documentation pages, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow questions, or any other web content you want to reference.
I use URL mentions constantly when I'm working with external APIs or libraries. Instead of trying to explain how an API works or copying documentation snippets, I just reference the docs directly:
```
I'm trying to implement authentication with this API: @https://api.example.com/docs/auth
Can you help me write the code to get an access token based on these docs?
```
This gives Cline the complete documentation page, so it can see all the authentication requirements, endpoints, parameters, and examples. Cline can then provide more accurate and comprehensive help based on the official documentation.
URL mentions are especially useful for referencing GitHub issues or discussions:
```
I'm trying to fix this issue in our project: @https://github.com/our-org/our-repo/issues/123
Here's my current implementation: @/src/components/Feature.jsx
What changes do I need to make to address the issue?
```
This shows Cline the complete GitHub issue, including the description, comments, and any code snippets or screenshots. Cline can then help you implement a solution that directly addresses the reported issue.
Next time you're working with external documentation or online resources, try using URL mentions instead of copying and pasting content. You'll get more accurate help because Cline can see the complete context of the webpage, including formatting, code examples, and surrounding information.
## How It Works Under the Hood
When you use a URL mention in your message, here's what happens behind the scenes:
1. When you send your message, Cline detects the `@http://...` or `@https://...` pattern in your text
2. The extension launches a headless browser (Puppeteer) in the background
3. It navigates to the URL and waits for the page to load completely
4. The browser captures the page content, including text, formatting, and code examples
5. The content is converted to a Markdown format that preserves the structure
6. This content is appended to your message in a structured format:
```

## Authentication
To authenticate with the API, you need to...
const token = await api.authenticate({
username: 'user',

The Auto Approve menu lets you set fine-grained permissions on what you allow Cline to do in an automated way.
<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.

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>

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 Rules allow you to provide Cline with system-level guidance. Think of them as a persistent way to include context and preferences for your projects or globally for every conversation.
## Creating a Rule
You can create a rule by clicking the `+` button in the Rules tab. This will open a new file in your IDE which you can use to write your rule.
<Frame>
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/cline-rules.png" alt="Create a Rule" />
</Frame>
Once you save the file:
- Your rule will be stored in the `.clinerules/` directory in your project (if it's a Workspace Rule)
- Or in the `Documents/Cline/Rules` directory (if it's a Global Rule).
You can also have Cline create a rule for you by using the [`/newrule` slash command](/features/slash-commands/new-rule) in the chat.
```markdown Example Cline Rule Structure [expandable]
# Project Guidelines
## Documentation Requirements
- Update relevant documentation in /docs when modifying features

- Prefer composition over inheritance
- Use repository pattern for data access
- Follow error handling pattern in /src/utils/errors.ts
## Testing Standards
- Unit tests required for business logic
- Integration tests for API endpoints
- E2E tests for critical user flows
```
### Key Benefits
1. **Version Controlled**: The `.clinerules` file becomes part of your project's source code
2. **Team Consistency**: Ensures consistent behavior across all team members
3. **Project-Specific**: Rules and standards tailored to each project's needs
4. **Institutional Knowledge**: Maintains project standards and practices in code
Place the `.clinerules` file in your project's root directory:
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules
├── src/
├── docs/
└── ...
```
Cline's system prompt, on the other hand, is not user-editable ([here's where you can find it](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/system.ts)). For a broader look at prompt engineering best practices, check out [this resource](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/overview).
### Tips for Writing Effective Cline Rules
- Be Clear and Concise: Use simple language and avoid ambiguity.
- Focus on Desired Outcomes: Describe the results you want, not the specific steps.
- Test and Iterate: Experiment to find what works best for your workflow.
### .clinerules/ Folder System
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules/ # Folder containing active rules
│ ├── 01-coding.md # Core coding standards
│ ├── 02-documentation.md # Documentation requirements
│ └── current-sprint.md # Rules specific to current work
├── src/
└── ...
```
Cline automatically processes **all Markdown files** inside the `.clinerules/` directory, combining them into a unified set of rules. The numeric prefixes (optional) help organize files in a logical sequence.
#### Using a Rules Bank
For projects with multiple contexts or teams, maintain a rules bank directory:
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules/ # Active rules - automatically applied
│ ├── 01-coding.md
│ └── client-a.md
├── clinerules-bank/ # Repository of available but inactive rules
│ ├── clients/ # Client-specific rule sets
│ │ ├── client-a.md
│ │ └── client-b.md
│ ├── frameworks/ # Framework-specific rules
│ │ ├── react.md
│ │ └── vue.md
│ └── project-types/ # Project type standards
│ ├── api-service.md
│ └── frontend-app.md
└── ...
```
#### Benefits of the Folder Approach
1. **Contextual Activation**: Copy only relevant rules from the bank to the active folder
2. **Easier Maintenance**: Update individual rule files without affecting others
3. **Team Flexibility**: Different team members can activate rules specific to their current task
4. **Reduced Noise**: Keep the active ruleset focused and relevant
#### Usage Examples
Switch between client projects:
```bash
# Switch to Client B project
rm .clinerules/client-a.md
cp clinerules-bank/clients/client-b.md .clinerules/
```
Adapt to different tech stacks:
```bash
# Frontend React project
cp clinerules-bank/frameworks/react.md .clinerules/
```
#### Implementation Tips
- Keep individual rule files focused on specific concerns
- Use descriptive filenames that clearly indicate the rule's purpose
- Consider git-ignoring the active `.clinerules/` folder while tracking the `clinerules-bank/`
- Create team scripts to quickly activate common rule combinations
The folder system transforms your Cline rules from a static document into a dynamic knowledge system that adapts to your team's changing contexts and requirements.
### Managing Rules with the Toggleable Popover
To make managing both single `.clinerules` files and the folder system even easier, Cline v3.13 introduces a dedicated popover UI directly accessible from the chat interface.
Located conveniently under the chat input field, this popover allows you to:
- **Instantly See Active Rules:** View which global rules (from your user settings) and workspace rules (`.clinerules` file or folder contents) are currently active.
- **Quickly Toggle Rules:** Enable or disable specific rule files within your workspace `.clinerules/` folder with a single click. This is perfect for activating context-specific rules (like `react-rules.md` or `memory-bank.md`) only when needed.
- **Easily Add/Manage Rules:** Quickly create a workspace `.clinerules` file or folder if one doesn't exist, or add new rule files to an existing folder.
This UI significantly simplifies switching contexts and managing different sets of instructions without needing to manually edit files or configurations during a conversation.

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"
/>
</Frame>
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.

2. Send to Cline with `Ctrl+'` / `Cmd+'`
3. Type your question and press Enter
4. Review the response and apply suggestions
## Editor Integration Shortcuts
Cline's keyboard shortcuts integrate seamlessly with VSCode's built-in shortcuts:
- Use VSCode's selection shortcuts (`Ctrl+L` / `Cmd+L` to select line, etc.) before sending code to Cline
- Combine with VSCode's split editor shortcuts to view code and Cline side by side
- Use VSCode's terminal focus shortcut (`` Ctrl+` `` / `` Cmd+` ``) before capturing terminal output
## Tips for Effective Use
- **Learn the default shortcut first**: The `Ctrl+'` / `Cmd+'` shortcut is versatile - it adds selected code to chat when text is selected, or focuses the chat input when nothing is selected
- **Create muscle memory**: Use keyboard shortcuts consistently to build habits
- **Customize for your workflow**: Assign shortcuts to commands you use frequently
- **Consider ergonomics**: Choose shortcuts that are comfortable for your keyboard layout
Keyboard shortcuts may seem like a small optimization, but they can significantly speed up your workflow when using Cline regularly. By keeping your hands on the keyboard, you maintain your coding flow while still getting AI assistance exactly when you need it.

### What are Editor Integrations?
Editor integrations are commands and shortcuts that let you use Cline right where you're working. Instead of switching to the Cline panel first, you can select code, right-click, and immediately send it to Cline for help.
These integrations appear in different places throughout VSCode:
- In the editor context menu (right-click menu) - "Add to Cline"
- In the terminal context menu - "Add to Cline"
- In the Source Control view - "Generate Commit Message"
- As keyboard shortcuts - Various Cline commands
- As Quick Fix options (lightbulb menu) - "Fix with Cline", "Explain with Cline", "Improve with Cline"
### Available Editor Integrations

Cline's terminal integration lets you bring your terminal output directly into your conversations with Cline. Instead of copying and pasting error messages or command results, you can send them to Cline with a simple right-click in the terminal.
<Frame>
<img
src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/terminal-integration.png"
alt="Terminal Integration"

</Frame>
## 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 with file mentions**: After sending terminal output to Cline, you can enhance your question by mentioning relevant files using the @ mentions feature.
- **Use for build and test output**: 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.

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

## 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

### Understanding the Modes
#### Plan Mode: Think First
#### Plan Mode
Plan mode is where you and Cline figure out what you're trying to build and how you'll build it. In this mode, Cline:
- Optimized for context gathering and strategy
- Cannot make changes to your codebase
- Focused on understanding requirements and creating implementation plans
- Enables full file reading for comprehensive project understanding
- Can read your entire codebase to understand the context
- Won't make any changes to your files
- Focuses on understanding requirements and creating a strategy
- Helps identify potential issues before you write a single line of code
#### Act Mode
#### Act Mode: Build It
- Streamlined for implementation based on established plans
- Has access to all of Cline's building capabilities
- Maintains context from the planning phase
- Can execute changes to your codebase
Once you've got a plan, you switch to Act mode. Now Cline:
- Has all the building capabilities at its disposal
- Can make changes to your codebase
- Still remembers everything from your planning session
- Executes the strategy you worked out together

When I'm working on a new feature or fixing a complex bug, here's what works for me:
1. I start in Plan mode and tell Cline what I want to build
2. Cline helps me explore the codebase, looking at relevant files
3. Together we figure out the best approach, considering edge cases and potential issues
4. When I'm confident in our plan, I switch to Act mode
5. Cline implements the solution based on our planning

- Leverage file reading to validate assumptions early
- Leverage [file reading](/features/at-mentions/file-mentions) to validate assumptions early
- Have Cline write markdown files of the plan for future reference
### Common Patterns
#### When to Use Plan Mode
#### When to Use Each Mode
- Starting new features
- Debugging complex issues
- Architectural decisions
- Requirements analysis
I've found Plan mode works best when:
#### When to Use Act Mode
- Starting something new where the approach isn't obvious
- Debugging a tricky issue where I'm not sure what's wrong
- Making architectural decisions that will affect multiple parts of the codebase
- Trying to understand a complex workflow or feature
- Implementing agreed solutions
- Making routine changes
- Following established patterns
- Executing test cases
And Act mode is perfect for:
- Implementing a solution we've already planned out
- Making routine changes where the approach is clear
- Following established patterns in the codebase
- Running tests and making minor adjustments

title: "New Rule Command"
sidebarTitle: "/newrule"
---
`/newrule` is a slash command that lets you teach Cline your preferred way of working. It creates a markdown file in your `.clinerules` directory that acts like persistent instructions for how Cline should behave when helping with your projects.
Think of it as setting up house rules that Cline will always follow, so you don't have to repeat your preferences in every conversation.
#### Using the `/newrule` Slash Command
When you want Cline to consistently follow certain guidelines:
- Type `/newrule` in the chat
- Cline will help you create a structured rule file by asking about your preferences for:
- Communication style (verbose vs. concise)
- Development workflows
- Coding standards
- Project context
- Any other specific guidelines
- You'll review the rule file before it's created
- Once approved, Cline creates a markdown file in your `.clinerules` directory that will automatically be loaded for future conversations
#### Example
I used `/newrule` when I was fed up with repeating the same instructions on every new task. I had specific preferences for how I wanted my React components structured, which testing library to use, and even my preferred variable naming style.
Instead of typing these preferences each time, I just used `/newrule` and worked with Cline to create a detailed rule file. We built a markdown file that covered everything from code organization to my preference for functional components over class components.
Now whenever I chat with Cline about my React project, it automatically follows these guidelines without me having to remind it. The best part is that I can create different rule files for different projects, so Cline adapts to whatever codebase I'm working on.
#### Inspiration
Here's how I use `/newrule` to make my development smoother:
- I created a rule file for each major project with specific architectural patterns and library preferences, so Cline always generates code that matches our existing codebase.
- For my team's shared projects, we have a common rule file that ensures consistent code style and documentation practices regardless of who's using Cline.
- When working with legacy code, I made a rule file that reminds Cline about the quirks and constraints of the old system, so it never suggests modern approaches that won't integrate well.
- I even have a personal rule file for my side projects with all my opinionated preferences - two-space indentation, arrow functions everywhere, and my exact folder structure requirements.

title: "New Task Command"
sidebarTitle: "/newtask"
---
`/newtask` is a slash command that works like a perfect developer handoff. It intelligently packages what matters - the overall plan, work accomplished, relevant files, and next steps - into a fresh task with a clean context window. All while leaving behind the noise of tool calls, documentation searches, and implementation details.
It's exactly what you'd do when bringing a new developer onto your project: provide the essential context they need to continue the work without overwhelming them with every keystroke that came before.
#### Using the `/newtask` Slash Command
When your context window is filling up but you're not done with your project:
<Frame>
<img
src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/newtask.png"
alt="Using the /newtask slash command"
/>
</Frame>
- Type `/newtask` in the chat input field
- Cline will analyze your conversation and propose a distilled version of the context to carry forward
- You can refine this proposed context through conversation before committing
- Once satisfied, a button appears to create the new task with your refined context
#### Example
I regularly use `/newtask` when working through complex implementations with multiple steps. For instance, if I've completed 3 steps of a 10-step process and my context is already 75% full with documentation snippets, file contents, and detailed discussions.
Rather than losing those insights or starting from scratch, I use `/newtask` to have Cline extract what matters - the key decisions, file changes, and progress so far - without all the noise of individual tool calls and research steps.
I like to think of `/newtask` as a new developer joining the project. I need to give them the full understanding of the work that has been done, awareness of the relevant files, any other context that would be helpful, and where to go next.
#### Inspiration
Here are some popular ways to use `/newtask`:
- I research complex APIs using the Context7 MCP server, filling my context with documentation. Once I understand the concepts, I use `/newtask` to start fresh with just the essential knowledge needed for implementation.
- After identifying the root cause of a tough bug through multiple debugging attempts and file explorations, I use `/newtask` to continue with a clean slate that includes the solution but discards all the failed attempts.
- When a client discussion explores multiple approaches and finally settles on one direction, I use `/newtask` to focus solely on implementing the chosen solution.
- For complex projects spanning multiple days, I use `/newtask` at logical stopping points to maintain a clean workspace while carrying forward my progress.

title: "Report Bug Command"
sidebarTitle: "/reportbug"
---
`/reportbug` is an absolute lifesaver when you hit a weird issue with Cline. Instead of having to remember all the details GitHub wants for a bug report, this command turns Cline into your personal bug reporting assistant.
It walks you through collecting all the info needed for a proper bug report and then shoots it straight to our GitHub issues page with all the right formatting and system details included.
#### Using the `/reportbug` Slash Command
When you run into something funky that doesn't seem right:
- Just type `/reportbug` in the chat
- Cline will guide you through all the details we need:
- A quick title describing the issue
- What actually happened vs. what you expected
- Steps to reproduce the bug
- Any relevant output or errors you saw
- Additional context that might help us fix it
- You'll get to review everything before it's submitted
- Once you approve, it opens a perfectly formatted GitHub issue with all your info plus automatic system details
#### Example
Last week I hit a weird bug where Cline kept timing out when reading large files. Instead of trying to remember all the GitHub template fields, I just typed `/reportbug` and Cline guided me through the whole process.
It asked me about what I was trying to do, what happened instead, and the exact steps that led to the issue. The best part was that it automatically included my OS version, Cline version, and all the technical details our devs would need.
A few seconds later, I had a properly formatted GitHub issue created without having to hunt down any of that info myself.

title: "Smol Command"
sidebarTitle: "/smol"
---
`/smol` (or its alias, `/compact`) is a slash command that compresses your conversation history while preserving essential context.
Unlike `/newtask` which creates a new task, `/smol` condenses your current conversation into a comprehensive summary, freeing up context window space while allowing you to continue working in the same task.
Think of it like summarizing the relevant parts of a conversation while discarding the rest.
#### Using the `/smol` Slash Command
When your context window is getting full but you want to continue in the same task:
<Frame>
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/smol.png" alt="Using the /smol slash command" />
</Frame>
- Type `/smol` (or its alias `/compact`) in the chat input field
- Cline will analyze your conversation and create a detailed summary that preserves essential information
- You'll have a chance to review this summary and provide feedback if needed
- Once accepted, the detailed conversation history is replaced with this condensed version
#### Example
I use `/smol` when I'm deep into a complex debugging session and need to continue in the same task. After exploring multiple approaches and examining several files, my context window gets crowded with all the back-and-forth.
By using `/smol`, I can condense all that exploration into a concise summary that captures what we've learned, which files we've examined, and what approaches we've tried. This frees up space to continue the debugging without losing the insights we've gained.
The key difference from `/newtask` is that I'm staying in the same conversation flow rather than creating a separate task. This is particularly useful when I'm in the middle of something and don't want to context switch.
#### Inspiration
Here are powerful ways I use `/smol` in my workflow:
- During lengthy brainstorming sessions, I use `/smol` to condense our exploration before implementing the chosen solution, all within the same task.
- When debugging complex issues that involve multiple file checks and test runs, I use `/smol` to summarize what we've learned while continuing the debugging process.
- For iterative development, I use `/smol` after completing each feature to compress the implementation details while keeping the key decisions and approaches accessible.
- When gathering requirements from multiple sources, I use `/smol` to distill the essential needs into a concise summary before moving to the design phase.
#### Smol vs Newtask
People often ask me when to use `/smol` vs `/newtask`. Frankly, it's a matter of personal preference and what you're trying to achieve. Here are some guidelines:
- Use `/smol` when you're in the middle of something and want to keep going in the same task. It's perfect when you're deep in a debugging flow or brainstorming session and don't want to break your momentum. The downside? Once you compress your history, you can't get those detailed conversations back.
- Use `/newtask` when you're at a logical transition point and want to start fresh. It's great for moving from planning to implementation, or when you want to preserve your full conversation history (since it creates a new task rather than overwriting your current one).

Workflows allow you to define a series of steps to guide Cline through a repetitive set of tasks, such as deploying a service or submitting a PR.
To invoke a workflow, type `/[workflow-name.md]` in the chat.
## How to Create and Use Workflows
Workflows live alongside [Cline Rules](/features/cline-rules). Creating one is straightforward:
<Frame>
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/workflows.png" alt="Workflows tab in Cline" />
</Frame>
1. Create a markdown file with clear instructions for the steps Cline should take
2. Save it with a `.md` extension in your workflows directory
3. To trigger a workflow, just type `/` followed by the workflow filename
4. Provide any required parameters when prompted
The real power comes from how you structure your workflow files. You can:
- Leverage Cline's [built-in tools](/exploring-clines-tools/cline-tools-guide) like `ask_followup_question`, `read_file`, `search_files`, and `new_task`
- Use command-line tools you already have installed like `gh` or `docker`
- Reference external [MCP tool calls](/mcp/mcp-overview) like Slack or Whatsapp
- Chain multiple actions together in a specific sequence
## Real-world Example
I created a PR Review workflow that's already saving me tons of time.
````md pr-review.md [expandable]
You have access to the `gh` terminal command. I already authenticated it for you. Please review it to use the PR that I asked you to review. You're already in the `cline` repo.
<detailed_sequence_of_steps>
# GitHub PR Review Process - Detailed Sequence of Steps
## 1. Gather PR Information
1. Get the PR title, description, and comments:
```bash
gh pr view <PR-number> --json title,body,comments
```
2. Get the full diff of the PR:
```bash
gh pr diff <PR-number>
```
## 2. Understand the Context
1. Identify which files were modified in the PR:
```bash
gh pr view <PR-number> --json files
```
2. Examine the original files in the main branch to understand the context:
```xml
<read_file>
<path>path/to/file</path>
</read_file>
```
3. For specific sections of a file, you can use search_files:
```xml
<search_files>
<path>path/to/directory</path>
<regex>search term</regex>
<file_pattern>*.ts</file_pattern>
</search_files>
```
## 3. Analyze the Changes
1. For each modified file, understand:
- What was changed
- Why it was changed (based on PR description)
- How it affects the codebase
- Potential side effects
2. Look for:
- Code quality issues
- Potential bugs
- Performance implications
- Security concerns
- Test coverage
## 4. Ask for User Confirmation
1. Before making a decision, ask the user if you should approve the PR, providing your assessment and justification:
```xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>Based on my review of PR #<PR-number>, I recommend [approving/requesting changes]. Here's my justification:
[Detailed justification with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any concerns]
Would you like me to proceed with this recommendation?</question>
<options>["Yes, approve the PR", "Yes, request changes", "No, I'd like to discuss further"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
```
## 5. Ask if User Wants a Comment Drafted
1. After the user decides on approval/rejection, ask if they would like a comment drafted:
```xml
<ask_followup_question>
<question>Would you like me to draft a comment for this PR that you can copy and paste?</question>
<options>["Yes, please draft a comment", "No, I'll handle the comment myself"]</options>
</ask_followup_question>
```
2. If the user wants a comment drafted, provide a well-structured comment they can copy:
```
Thank you for this PR! Here's my assessment:
[Detailed assessment with key points about the PR quality, implementation, and any suggestions]
[Include specific feedback on code quality, functionality, and testing]
```
## 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.

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.

Looks good, though we should make this generic for all providers & models at some point

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

This is awesome. Thanks @scottsus.

</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.

</example_comments_that_i_have_written_before>
````
When I get a new PR to review, I used to manually gather context: checking the PR description, examining the diff, looking at surrounding files, and finally forming an opinion. Now I just:
1. Type `/pr-review.md` in chat
2. Paste in the PR number
3. Let Cline handle everything else
My workflow uses the `gh` command-line tool and Cline's built in `ask_followup_question` to:
- Pull the PR description and comments
- Examine the diff
- Check surrounding files for context
- Analyze potential issues
- Asks me if it's cool approve it if everything looks good, with justification for why it should be approved
- If I say "yes," Cline automatically approves the PR with the `gh` command
This has taken my PR review process from a manual, multi-step operation to a single command that gives me everything I need to make an informed decision.
> This is just one example of a workflow file. You can find more in our [prompts repository](https://github.com/cline/prompts) for inspiration.
## Building Your Own Workflows
The beauty of workflows is they're completely customizable to your needs. You might create workflows for all kinds of repetitive tasks:
- For releases, you could have a workflow that grabs all merged PRs, builds a changelog, and handles version bumps.
- Setting up new projects is perfect for workflows. Just run one command to create your folder structure, install dependencies, and set up configs.
- Need to create a report? Create a workflow that grabs stats from different sources and formats them exactly how you like. You can even visualize them with a charting library and then make a presentation out of it with a library like [slidev](https://sli.dev/).
- You can even use workflows to draft messages to your team using an MCP server like Slack or Whatsapp after you submit a PR.
With Workflows, your imagination is the limit. The true potential comes from spotting those annoying repetitive tasks you do all the time.
If you can describe something as "first I do X, then Y, then Z" - that's a perfect workflow candidate.
Start with something small that bugs you, turn it into a workflow, and keep refining it. You'll be shocked how much of your day can be automated this way.

title: "Task Management in Cline"
description: "Learn how to effectively manage your task history, use favorites, and organize your work in Cline."
---
# Task Management
As you use Cline, you'll accumulate many tasks over time. The task management system helps you organize, filter, search, and clean up your task history to keep your workspace efficient.
## Accessing Task History
You can access your task history by:
1. Clicking on the "History" button in the Cline sidebar
2. Using the command palette to search for "Cline: Show Task History"
## Task History Features
The task history view provides several powerful features:
### Searching and Filtering
- **Search Bar**: Use the fuzzy search at the top to quickly find tasks by content
- **Sort Options**: Sort tasks by:
- Newest (default)
- Oldest
- Most Expensive (highest API cost)
- Most Tokens (highest token usage)
- Most Relevant (when searching)
- **Favorites Filter**: Toggle to show only favorited tasks
### Task Actions
Each task in the history view has several actions available:
- **Open**: Click on a task to reopen it in the Cline chat
- **Favorite**: Click the star icon to mark a task as a favorite
- **Delete**: Remove individual tasks (favorites are protected from deletion)
- **Export**: Export a task's conversation to markdown
## ⭐ Task Favorites
The favorites feature allows you to mark important tasks that you want to preserve and find quickly.
### How Favorites Work
- **Marking Favorites**: Click the star icon next to any task to toggle its favorite status
- **Protection**: Favorited tasks are protected from individual and bulk deletion operations (can be overridden)
- **Filtering**: Use the favorites filter to quickly access your important tasks
## Batch Operations
The task history view supports several batch operations:
- **Select Multiple**: Use the checkboxes to select multiple tasks
- **Select All/None**: Quickly select or deselect all tasks
- **Delete Selected**: Remove all selected tasks
- **Delete All**: Remove all tasks from history (favorites are preserved unless you choose to include them)
## Best Practices
1. **Favorite Important Tasks**: Mark reference tasks or frequently accessed conversations as favorites
2. **Regular Cleanup**: Periodically remove old or unused tasks to improve performance
3. **Use Search**: Leverage the fuzzy search to quickly find specific conversations
4. **Export Valuable Tasks**: Export important tasks to markdown for external reference
Task management helps you maintain an organized workflow when using Cline, allowing you to quickly find past conversations, preserve important work, and keep your history clean and efficient.

Telemetry in Cline is entirely optional:
- When you update or install our VS Code extension, you'll see a simple prompt: "Help Improve Cline" with Allow or Deny options
- When you update or install our VS Code extension, you'll see a message about our anonymous telemetry
- You can change your preference anytime in settings
Cline also respects VS Code's global telemetry settings. If you've disabled telemetry at the VS Code level, Cline's telemetry will automatically be disabled as well.

Welcome to the Cline Prompting Guide! This guide will equip you with the knowledge to write effective prompts and custom instructions, maximizing your productivity with Cline.
## Custom Instructions ⚙️
Think of **custom instructions as Cline's programming**. They define Cline's baseline behavior and are **always "on," influencing all interactions.** Instructions can be broad and abstract, or specific and explicit. You might want Cline to have a unique personality, or produce output in a particular file format, or adhere to certain architectural principles. Custom instructions can standardize Cline's output in ways you define, which is especially valuable when working with others. See the [Enterprise section](../enterprise-solutions/custom-instructions.md) for using Custom Instructions in a team context.\
\
<mark style="color:yellow;">
NOTE: Modifying the Custom Instructions field updates Cline's prompt cache, discarding accumulated context. This causes a
temporary increase in cost while that context is replaced. Update Custom Instructions between conversations whenever possible.
</mark>
To add custom instructions:
1. Open VSCode
2. Click the Cline extension settings dial ⚙️
3. Find the "Custom Instructions" field
4. Paste your instructions
<Frame>
<img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/cline_public_images/docs/assets/image%20(1).png" alt="Cline Logo" />
</Frame>
Custom instructions are powerful for:
- Enforcing Coding Style and Best Practices: Ensure Cline always adheres to your team's coding conventions, naming conventions, and best practices.
- Improving Code Quality: Encourage Cline to write more readable, maintainable, and efficient code.
- Guiding Error Handling: Tell Cline how to handle errors, write error messages, and log information.

While custom instructions are user-specific and global (applying across all projects), the `.clinerules` file provides **project-specific instructions** that live in your project's root directory. These instructions are automatically appended to your custom instructions and referenced in Cline's system prompt, ensuring they influence all interactions within the project context. This makes it an excellent tool for:
### General Use Cases
The `.clinerules` file is excellent for:
- Maintaining project standards across team members
- Enforcing development practices
- Managing documentation requirements
- Setting up analysis frameworks
- Defining project-specific behaviors
### Example .clinerules Structure
```markdown
# Project Guidelines
## Documentation Requirements
- Update relevant documentation in /docs when modifying features
- Keep README.md in sync with new capabilities
- Maintain changelog entries in CHANGELOG.md
## Architecture Decision Records
Create ADRs in /docs/adr for:
- Major dependency changes
- Architectural pattern changes
- New integration patterns
- Database schema changes
Follow template in /docs/adr/template.md
## Code Style & Patterns
- Generate API clients using OpenAPI Generator
- Use TypeScript axios template
- Place generated code in /src/generated
- Prefer composition over inheritance
- Use repository pattern for data access
- Follow error handling pattern in /src/utils/errors.ts
## Testing Standards
- Unit tests required for business logic
- Integration tests for API endpoints
- E2E tests for critical user flows
```
### Key Benefits
1. **Version Controlled**: The `.clinerules` file becomes part of your project's source code
2. **Team Consistency**: Ensures consistent behavior across all team members
3. **Project-Specific**: Rules and standards tailored to each project's needs
4. **Institutional Knowledge**: Maintains project standards and practices in code
Place the `.clinerules` file in your project's root directory:
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules
├── src/
├── docs/
└── ...
```
Cline's system prompt, on the other hand, is not user-editable ([here's where you can find it](https://github.com/cline/cline/blob/main/src/core/prompts/system.ts)). For a broader look at prompt engineering best practices, check out [this resource](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/overview).
### Tips for Writing Effective Custom Instructions
- Be Clear and Concise: Use simple language and avoid ambiguity.
- Focus on Desired Outcomes: Describe the results you want, not the specific steps.
- Test and Iterate: Experiment to find what works best for your workflow.
### .clinerules Folder System 📂
While a single `.clinerules` file works well for simpler projects, Cline now supports a `.clinerules` folder for more sophisticated rule organization. This modular approach brings several advantages:
#### How It Works
Instead of a single file, create a `.clinerules/` directory in your project root:
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules/ # Folder containing active rules
│ ├── 01-coding.md # Core coding standards
│ ├── 02-documentation.md # Documentation requirements
│ └── current-sprint.md # Rules specific to current work
├── src/
└── ...
```
Cline automatically processes **all Markdown files** inside the `.clinerules/` directory, combining them into a unified set of rules. The numeric prefixes (optional) help organize files in a logical sequence.
#### Using a Rules Bank
For projects with multiple contexts or teams, maintain a rules bank directory:
```
your-project/
├── .clinerules/ # Active rules - automatically applied
│ ├── 01-coding.md
│ └── client-a.md
├── clinerules-bank/ # Repository of available but inactive rules
│ ├── clients/ # Client-specific rule sets
│ │ ├── client-a.md
│ │ └── client-b.md
│ ├── frameworks/ # Framework-specific rules
│ │ ├── react.md
│ │ └── vue.md
│ └── project-types/ # Project type standards
│ ├── api-service.md
│ └── frontend-app.md
└── ...
```
#### Benefits of the Folder Approach
1. **Contextual Activation**: Copy only relevant rules from the bank to the active folder
2. **Easier Maintenance**: Update individual rule files without affecting others
3. **Team Flexibility**: Different team members can activate rules specific to their current task
4. **Reduced Noise**: Keep the active ruleset focused and relevant
#### Usage Examples
Switch between client projects:
```bash
# Switch to Client B project
rm .clinerules/client-a.md
cp clinerules-bank/clients/client-b.md .clinerules/
```
Adapt to different tech stacks:
```bash
# Frontend React project
cp clinerules-bank/frameworks/react.md .clinerules/
```
#### Implementation Tips
- Keep individual rule files focused on specific concerns
- Use descriptive filenames that clearly indicate the rule's purpose
- Consider git-ignoring the active `.clinerules/` folder while tracking the `clinerules-bank/`
- Create team scripts to quickly activate common rule combinations
The folder system transforms your Cline rules from a static document into a dynamic knowledge system that adapts to your team's changing contexts and requirements.
### Managing Rules with the Toggleable Popover
To make managing both single `.clinerules` files and the folder system even easier, Cline v3.13 introduces a dedicated popover UI directly accessible from the chat interface.
Located conveniently under the chat input field, this popover allows you to:
- **Instantly See Active Rules:** View which global rules (from your user settings) and workspace rules (`.clinerules` file or folder contents) are currently active.
- **Quickly Toggle Rules:** Enable or disable specific rule files within your workspace `.clinerules/` folder with a single click. This is perfect for activating context-specific rules (like `react-rules.md` or `memory-bank.md`) only when needed.
- **Easily Add/Manage Rules:** Quickly create a workspace `.clinerules` file or folder if one doesn't exist, or add new rule files to an existing folder.
This UI significantly simplifies switching contexts and managing different sets of instructions without needing to manually edit files or configurations during a conversation.
