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 sync

intutic connect

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.
