Added

Add the SDK-backed VS Code extension runtime. Cline now runs tasks through the shared Cline SDK session layer for agent turns, tools, Plan/Act mode coordination, MCP, checkpoints, telemetry, provider changes, compaction, mistake limits, and task history.
Add ClinePass to the VS Code extension, including onboarding, provider selection, signup and subscription handoff, live model lists, entitlement and organization error states, out-of-credit prompts, and clearer ClinePass auth/error handling.
Add the Customize marketplace for discovering and managing Skills, MCP servers, and Plugins from the extension, including installed/marketplace tabs, search and filtering, install/uninstall flows, enable/disable controls, and support for plugin-bundled skills.
Cline Plugins: Plugins let you extend Cline with custom tools, workflows, skills, and MCP-powered capabilities tailored to your team or project. Install them from the new Customize marketplace to add specialized behavior, connect external services, and package reusable automations—so Cline can do more than code: it can adapt to the way you work.
