Cline

Cline is an open-source autonomous coding agent that integrates into VS Code to assist with development tasks. It can plan and execute multi-file edits, run terminal commands, and handle complex workflows with user approval or auto-approve mode. The agent supports multiple AI models including Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models via Ollama or LM Studio. It features plan-and-act modes, linter-aware fixes, checkpoints with one-click undo, and the ability to define custom rules and skills. Cline extends functionality through MCP servers and plugins, and supports multi-agent teams and scheduled automations. It is ideal for developers and solopreneurs who want AI-assisted coding directly in their editor and terminal, suitable for refactoring large codebases, automating CI/CD pipelines, and exploring new codebases.
