What is Cline AI?

Cline AI is an open-source Visual Studio Code extension that pairs large language models with an “interpreter” workflow. It can read your workspace, draft code edits, run tasks in the integrated terminal, and ask for confirmation before applying changes. When paired with AGCloud models, it gives you a secure copilot that stays inside your local editor.

​
Features

Explain Code

Highlight a file or snippet and run Cline: Explain Selection to receive a structured explanation with follow-up questions.

Implement Tasks

Create a TODO comment or describe a feature in the Command Palette. Cline plans steps, drafts edits, and asks before applying patches.

Run Tests

Ask Cline to execute your existing test scripts. It streams terminal output back into the conversation for quick debugging loops.

Document Changes

Generate changelog entries, commit messages, or inline documentation after a session to keep reviewers in the loop.

Step 3: Start Chat

  1. Plan mode: Only inputting the analysis and solution, along with the specific implementation steps, is allowed; it cannot help you modify the files.
  2. Act mode(Recommended): It can directly help you create, modify, delete files, execute terminal command like npm install etc.
