cline/clineSkill

Use when releasing the Cline VS Code extension — stable (standalone SDK build of main via ext-vscode-publish), nightly (ext-vscode-publish-nightly, manual dispatch), or an emergency legacy-branch hotfix (ext-vscode-publish-legacy). Guides version selection, changelog, workflow dispatch, environment approvals, tagging, post-publish verification, and the remaining retirement of the finished A/B rollout machinery.

  • Downloads content and runs it Whatever it downloads can change after we scanned it.SKILL.md:98

Web addresses in its code:

These are the sites named in the code, so it's where your data could go. It isn't a complete list: code can build addresses while it runs, and a few of these may be links rather than calls. Whatever you send also goes to the AI model you use.

A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
