Register workspace-scoped scheduled tasks and durable todo agendas in Cline
Cline SDK v0.0.76 lets agents create scheduled tasks and a durable todo agenda scoped to the workspace, generate images mid-turn with history persistence, and load skill slash commands via the skills tool so transcripts stay clean.
Why this loop
This release changes how long-running agent work and skills should be structured. Schedules and todos are now first-class and workspace-scoped, so recurring or multi-step work should be registered as agenda items instead of ad-hoc chat prompts. Model-driven image generation is persisted in session history and exports, so visual outputs can be part of normal turns. Skill slash commands load through the skills tool (transcript keeps `/my-skill ...` only; instructions arrive once), which means skill usage and logging should assume tool-based loading, not pasted SKILL.md bodies. Hook fixes (PreToolUse contextModification as `<hook_context>`, awaited PostToolUse with cancel/contextModification) and live detached command output further reward explicit hook and command patterns over workarounds.
Proposed actions
- In each active Cline workspace, instruct the agent: "Create a durable todo agenda for this repo and register workspace-scoped scheduled tasks for our recurring jobs (tests, dependency refresh, docs sync); list the registered schedules and confirm they are scoped to this workspace only."
- Update team skill docs: "Invoke skills only via slash commands (e.g. `/my-skill ...`) so they load through the skills tool; do not paste SKILL.md into the user message. Verify the transcript shows the slash invocation, not the full skill body, and that skill instructions arrive once."
- For design or UI tasks, prompt: "When the selected model supports image generation, generate images during the turn and confirm they appear in session history and exports; do not rely on external image tools for those models."
- Revise PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks to rely on SDK v0.0.76 behavior: deliver `contextModification` for the next engine turn as a `<hook_context>` block (tool name + call id), await PostToolUse (within 120s), and honor `contextModification` and `cancel` instead of fire-and-forget.
- For shell automation on Windows, rewrite PowerShell agent commands assuming `$ErrorActionPreference='Stop'` fail-fast, and use `run_commands` with the structured `{ command }` form (no `args` key) so spaced commands route through the shell without ENOENT.

## Why it matters
This release changes how long-running agent work and skills should be structured. Schedules and todos are now first-class and workspace-scoped, so recurring or multi-step work should be registered as agenda items instead of ad-hoc chat prompts. Model-driven image generation is persisted in session history and exports, so visual outputs can be part of normal turns. Skill slash commands load through the skills tool (transcript keeps `/my-skill ...` only; instructions arrive once), which means skill usage and logging should assume tool-based loading, not pasted SKILL.md bodies. Hook fixes (PreToolUse contextModification as `<hook_context>`, awaited PostToolUse with cancel/contextModification) and live detached command output further reward explicit hook and command patterns over workarounds.
## Suggested actions

## Your job
1. Restate the change in one sentence.
2. Propose a minimal plan for my repo (or a throwaway pilot).
3. Implement only what I approve; prefer small diffs and tests.
4. Call out risks (permissions, breaking APIs, cost).
Start by confirming you understood the proposal.
