Cline has extracted its internal agent harness into an open-source TypeScript SDK called @cline/sdk, the same runtime now powering its CLI and Kanban, with VS Code and JetBrains extensions being migrated. The SDK is structured as a four-layer stack — @cline/shared, @cline/llms, @cline/agents, and @cline/core — with native support for plugins, subagents, CRON scheduling, checkpointing, and MCP connectors. On Terminal Benchmark 2.0, Cline CLI scored 74.2% on claude-opus-4.7, compared to Anthropic's published 69.4% for Claude Code on the same model. Install via npm install @cline/sdk. Requires Node.js 22+. The post Cline Releases Cline SDK: An Open-Source Agent Runtime Now Powering Its CLI and Kanban, With IDE Extensions Being Migrated appeared first on MarkTechPost.
