Add terminal prompt coverage to a Cline toolkit

Use the PromptDC IDE extension to structure a task in Cline's editor chat before the agent begins work. When your toolkit also includes a CLI opened in the integrated terminal, highlight that CLI request and run PromptDC Desktop. This keeps terminal input reviewable instead of treating it like editor chat text.

Works in Cline, every IDE and terminal

The PromptDC desktop app for macOS and Windows enhances selected text in Cline, every browser, IDE chat panel, desktop AI app and terminal. Use Cmd+Shift+E or Ctrl+Shift+E to open an editable review, then Replace or Copy.

PromptDC is the first desktop app to enhance prompts inside terminal CLIs, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Grok, Agy and OpenCode. Choose the Code profile for implementation-ready prompts, and set it as the default profile for each coding app or terminal.

The Chrome extension and IDE extensions are optional. Chrome adds in-place rewriting without Accessibility permission, while IDE extensions add a target-agent picker and Simple or Structured output; the desktop app already covers browser fields, IDE chats and terminals.
