Cline

Integrate Intutic governance with Cline — the VS Code extension for autonomous agentic coding.

How it works

Intutic writes governance rules into .cline/hooks/hooks.json inside your project root, which Cline executes prior to executing tools (PreToolUse hooks). If a policy is violated, the hook returns exit code 2 to block the tool execution. Governance text rules are written separately as the .clinerules flat file.

Setup

1. Initialize Intutic

intutic init

The CLI detects Cline and registers it as a harness:

✓ Detected harnesses:
  • cline -> .cline/hooks/hooks.json

2. Start the proxy

intutic start

Have an Intutic account or run your own control plane? Use intutic connect instead. It starts the same proxy and adds bidirectional config sync.

What gets written

Intutic generates the Cline PreToolUse hook configuration and hook scripts:

• Config file: .cline/hooks/hooks.json
• Rules file: .clinerules (flat file with governance SOP text)
• Hook script: .cline/hooks/intutic-check.js (referenced by hooks.json to inspect shell commands, file edits, and MCP tool calls)

Proxy routing

To route Cline's LLM requests through the local proxy:

1. Open the Cline panel in VS Code.
2. Click the gear icon to open Settings.
3. Set API Provider to OpenAI Compatible.
4. Set Base URL to http://localhost:4000/v1.
5. Enter your Intutic API Key.
