About

Cline is an open-source AI coding agent for VS Code that uses a Plan-Act methodology — it plans the full approach before touching any code, dramatically reducing hallucinations. Because it runs on your own API keys (Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini), your code never leaves your machine, making it the top enterprise security pick for 2025–26. Endorsed by Google's Addy Osmani and used by over 500K developers. Supports full terminal access, file system operations, and browser automation.
