Cline provider extension for pi.

Use Cline's models directly from pi through Cline's authenticated API flow. pi-cline works as a compatibility layer between pi and Cline:

pi install npm:pi-cline

Open pi and enter /login.
Select Cline from the provider list.
A browser window will open to the Cline login page — sign in with your Cline account.

Pi messages are repackaged into the structure Cline models expect.

Injects Cline-style operating rules and runtime/system information
Wraps user input into task or resumption form
Appends environment details such as cwd, workspace snapshot, time, CLI tools, and context usage
Feeds tool results back as the next-turn context
Preserves turn state so later turns can continue with consistent tool semantics
