Cline is an open-source AI coding agent that lives inside VS Code and can create/edit files, run terminal commands, use the browser, and call external APIs — chaining actions together to complete complex tasks with minimal back-and-forth. You stay in full control with a step-by-step approval flow before any destructive action is taken. Engineers who prefer transparency and customizability over opaque cloud tools choose Cline because they can see exactly what the agent is doing and why.
