Cline CLI

Use Cline CLI with Pentect.

Start

sh
pentect cline

Choose a model or pass normal task arguments:

sh
pentect cline --model gpt-5 "Review this project"

Pentect protects this Cline CLI session only. Your saved Cline settings are not changed.

Protected

  • Local Cline CLI prompts and streamed model responses
  • Text and supported image input
  • MCP and tool results carried by the OpenAI-compatible request
  • Completed tool-call arguments restored at the local tool boundary

Not protected by this command

  • The Cline extension in an existing VS Code window
  • Cline account and management commands
  • Detached cline --zen sessions

--zen is rejected because the detached process would outlive the local Pentect gateway. Run it outside Pentect instead.

Use --upstream URL for a compatible provider. See Custom upstreams.

Pentect is open source.
