Connecting Cline

Open-source coding agent for VS Code and JetBrains.

New in v0.2.0
$athena agents add cline

Setup for Cline

Run:

bash
athena agents add cline

What Athena configures:

  • Writes a rule at .clinerules/athena.md (or .cline/rules/athena.md if .clinerules is a single file, which Athena never touches)
  • MCP is not registered automatically, because Cline keeps MCP settings per user. Add a server named athena with command athena and args ["mcp"] yourself
  • Activity hooks are not available
