Cline and Roo Code

Cline

npx shibbo init cline

Rules go into AGENTS.md, which Cline reads natively along with .clinerules/. The hook is an executable script at .clinerules/hooks/PostToolUse:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec npx shibbo hook post-edit --for cline

Cline passes the edited path in postToolUse.parameters.path. Shibbo answers {"cancel": false, "contextModification": ...}, which the model sees on its next request. Turn hooks on in Cline's settings or with cline config set hooks-enabled=true.

Cline has no project-level MCP file. Add the server under MCP Servers → Configure with command npx and args ["shibbo", "mcp"].

Cline's own hooks page now points to SDK plugins; the file hooks above still exist in Cline's code and README.

Roo Code

npx shibbo init roo

Roo Code reads AGENTS.md and takes MCP servers from .roo/mcp.json. It has no hooks, so the rule block asks the agent to call check_text itself. Roo Code's repository has been archived since May 2026.
