Tony Loehrandgreptile-apps[bot] e807b520e0 feat(cli): add rotating feature tips during thinking/acting phases (#9874)
* feat(cli): add rotating feature tips during thinking/acting phases

Port the FeatureTip component from the VSCode extension (PR #9799) to the
CLI. Shows rotating educational tips below the ThinkingIndicator while Cline
is processing, appearing after a 2-second delay and cycling every 8 seconds.

Includes 17 tips covering:
- Core features: .clinerules, Plan/Act mode, checkpoints, MCP servers
- CLI-specific: /settings, /skills, /history, /compact, /reportbug
- Workflows: kanban, auto-approve toggle, history navigation, @ mentions
- Images via --images flag, browser testing, double-check completion

* Update FeatureTip.tsx

* Apply suggestions from code review

* fix: resolve FeatureTip.tsx syntax errors (duplicate export, missing tipIndex state)

Cline

Meet Cline, an AI assistant that lives in your terminal.

Cline can handle complex software development tasks step-by-step. With tools that let him create & edit files, explore large projects, use the browser, and execute terminal commands (after you grant permission), he can assist you in ways that go beyond code completion or tech support.

npm i -g cline

# cd into your project and run:
cline

Move your mouse around under the Cline icon for a surprise!


Use any API and Model

Cline supports API providers like ChatGPT, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Azure, GCP Vertex, Cerebras, Groq, and Moonshot. You can also configure any OpenAI compatible API, or use a local model through LM Studio/Ollama. If you're using a Cline Account, you'll always have access to the newest models as soon as they're available.


Stay in Control with Human-in-the-Loop

Cline asks for your approval before running commands, editing files, or taking any action. Review each step and approve or reject as you go—or enable auto-approve to let Cline work autonomously to completion.


Plan & Act Modes

Toggle to Plan Mode to discuss implementation and architecture with Cline. He'll ask clarifying questions, explore your codebase, and present a plan for you to align on. Once you're satisfied, switch to Act Mode and let Cline execute the plan.


Enterprise

Get the same Cline experience with enterprise-grade controls: SSO (SAML/OIDC), global policies and configuration, observability with audit trails, private networking (VPC/private link), and self-hosted or on-prem deployments, and enterprise support. Learn more at our enterprise page or talk to us.
