Cline + InstaCloud
Cline is an open-source coding agent that lives inside VS Code, JetBrains, and Cursor as an extension. Its Plan/Act workflow lets you review the plan before changes land, and built-in checkpoints make every step safe to undo. Run `npx -y insta setup agent` once and the insta CLI plus the InstaCloud agent skill are installed for every coding agent on your machine — any OS, any shell. From the first prompt it knows how to create projects, add postgres, storage, and compute, pull secrets into .env, branch a full environment per feature, and deploy.
