Cline

Autonomous AI coding agent in your editor — create and edit files, execute commands, and use the browser.

Cline is an autonomous AI coding agent that operates as a VS Code extension, capable of creating files, editing code, running terminal commands, and even interacting with browsers — all from natural language instructions. Unlike simple autocomplete tools, Cline can plan and execute multi-step development tasks independently, writing entire features, fixing bugs across multiple files, and setting up project scaffolding. It provides full transparency by showing every action it takes in the editor, with human-in-the-loop control to approve commands before execution. Cline uses system prompts to guide its behavior and can work with various AI model providers. By handling the mechanical aspects of coding while keeping the developer in control, Cline bridges the gap between AI code suggestion and autonomous software engineering.
