# Cline

> Open-source AI assistant for VS Code.

[Cline](https://cline.bot) is an open-source AI assistant for VS Code. Both project and global skills use the vendor-neutral `.agents/skills` and `~/.agents/skills` conventions; MCP config lives in VS Code's `settings.json`.

## Paths

| Resource               | Path                                                        |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| Project skills         | `.agents/skills` (generic fallback)                         |
| Global skills          | `~/.agents/skills` (generic fallback)                       |
| MCP config             | `~/.vscode/settings.json`                                   |
| Audit search (project) | `.agents/skills`, `.github/skills`, `.claude/skills`        |
| Audit search (global)  | `~/.agents/skills`, `~/.copilot/skills`, `~/.claude/skills` |

## Skills example

```yaml gaal.yaml theme={"theme":"nord"}
skills:
  - source: anthropics/skills
    agents: [cline]
    global: false
```

Skills land in `.agents/skills/`, Cline picks them up via the generic convention.

## MCP example

```yaml gaal.yaml theme={"theme":"nord"}
mcps:
  - name: filesystem
    agents: [cline]
    global: true
    inline:
      command: uvx
      args: [mcp-server-filesystem, ~/projects]
```
