How it works / How to use

Open-source coding agent for VS Code and the terminal that edits files, runs commands, and supports Plan and Act modes with multiple model providers.

  1. Open Cline in your editor, terminal, or browser workspace.
  2. Describe the change, bug, or feature with file paths and expected behavior.
  3. Review suggested diffs or commands before applying them.
  4. Iterate with test output or error messages when the first pass is incomplete.

How to prompt

Cline's Plan mode aligns on strategy before Act mode executes multi-file changes.
