WHAT CLINE DOES

Everything an agent should do, in your editor and your terminal.

Open source. Plan-and-Act. Every model. No vendor lock-in.

Edits across your project

Coordinated multi-file changes with linter-aware fixes, diffs, checkpoints, and one-click undo on every step.

Runs bash commands

Executes in your terminal and reacts to output as it appears. Long-running dev servers, tests, deploys, all handled live.

Plan, then Act

Toggle Plan mode to align on a strategy, then Act to execute. Approve every step, or flip auto-approve for autopilot.

Rules and Skills

Ship .clinerules with your repo to teach the agent your coding standards, architecture, and deployment conventions.

Every model, your choice

Claude, GPT, Gemini, local Ollama / LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Bring your own key or your own weights.

Extend with MCP and plugins

Multi-agent teams and schedules

Coordinator agents delegate to specialists with their own tools and context. Run them on cron for recurring automations.

Connect to Slack, Linear, and CI

Chat with the agent from Slack, Discord, Telegram, or Linear. Run it headlessly inside GitHub Actions, GitLab, or any pipeline.
