cline-runner

Cline Runner

Execute the caller's scoped prompt through the local CLI. Shared roles, envelope keys, and result handling live in shared/references/runner-common.md. Preserve seat fidelity: name the provider that actually answered, and report unavailable or unverified seats honestly.

Invocation

Set SKILL_DIR to this loaded skill directory in the same shell call:

SKILL_DIR="<absolute path of this skill directory>";
python3 "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/run_cline.py" "<scoped prompt>" --json

An approved workflow supplies the exact model, effort, role, tool mode, and receipt policy. Pass those approved options and --disable-fallback; this basic example does not authorize a different route.

Runtime boundaries

• Use the local authenticated cline CLI. Select provider and model together; catalog IDs can differ across providers.
• Analysis roles default to enforced read-only plan mode with read tools enabled. --no-tools instead rejects all tool calls. Act mode permits writes and auto-approves tools within the caller's authority.
• Prompt and file context may be sent to the selected provider. --model mutates persisted provider configuration unless state is isolated with --data-dir or an authenticated lane.
• Concurrent calls require separate authenticated state directories and bounded credential-pool slots. A missing lane must not fall back to shared state.
• Named Muse and Minimax seats are selected with --seat. The runtime reference records their mappings and the files that must stay in sync.
• No provider fallback is allowed. The stream's serving-model receipt and terminal result determine the observed model and success.

Load by need

• references/command-reference.md: flags, examples, native mappings, and return codes when composing a non-basic invocation.
• references/runtime-reference.md: authentication, fallback conditions, configuration, and extended envelope fields when configuring a route or interpreting its result.
• references/continuation.md: only when resuming a session or managing a background job.

Result

Read agent_message and the wrapper envelope. Check success, serving-model receipt, effective runner/provider, and any fallback or malformed-output status. A completed process alone does not prove the requested task or model was used. Report touched files when the caller authorized edits.
