Cline Integration

Set up docmancer with Cline in VS Code for local documentation retrieval.

Install

docmancer install cline

This installs the skill to:

PathPurpose
~/.cline/skills/docmancer/SKILL.mdPrimary Cline skill path

Enable Skills in Cline

Cline requires you to enable skill discovery manually:

  1. Open VS Code
  2. Go to Cline Settings > Features
  3. Enable Skills
  4. Restart VS Code

Cline discovers skills from ~/.cline/skills/ globally and .cline/skills/ in the current workspace.

Project-local installation

Install the skill in the current project instead of globally:

docmancer install cline --project

This creates the skill at .cline/skills/docmancer/SKILL.md in your project directory. Cline discovers workspace-level skills automatically when the Skills feature is enabled.

Verify

docmancer doctor

Look for the cline entry under "Installed skills".

Add docs and query

Make sure you have documentation indexed:

docmancer add https://docs.pytest.org

Then open Cline in VS Code and ask about the docs. The installed skill teaches Cline to call docmancer query and retrieve relevant sections from your local index.
