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 Register custom tools and lifecycle hooks via the SDK. Plug in MCP servers for databases, APIs, and infrastructure.
- ### 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
