VS Code Marketplace

Why in the editor

The sidebar earns its rent.

The features that make Cline-in-the-editor feel like a pair, not a prompt box.

PLAN · ACT

Separate thinking from doing.

Sketch the plan first, then approve every tool call as the agent acts. Toggle on or off depending on how much guardrail you want.

@ MENTIONS

Bring files into the conversation.

Reference files, folders, problems, or git diffs with @. Cline reads what you point at, no copy-pasting needed.

CHECKPOINTS

Roll back any change, any time.

Every tool call is a checkpoint. Visual diffs land in the editor. Undo with /undo if things go sideways.

MCP TOOLS

Plug in your own integrations.

Browse the MCP Marketplace or wire up your own server. Cline can read your bug tracker, deploy to your platform, or query your data warehouse.

SKILLS · HOOKS

Teach the agent your conventions.

Skills bundle reusable expertise (how to write a PR, how to run your test suite). Hooks give you a script hatch to gate or shape any tool call.

TERMINAL · BROWSER

A real workstation, not just a chat box.

Cline runs commands, drives a browser, and reads back output — all from inside your editor, all with your approval.

Install once. Use it everywhere you write code.

Free, open source, every provider. Bring your own key or sign in with Cline.

Transform your engineering team with a fully collaborative AI partner. Open source, fully extensible, and built to amplify developer impact.
