AstraCode features

  • Repository-wide edits. Agents locate files, plan changes and apply them across the whole repo, not just the open tab.
  • Automated testing & proof. Each change runs your test suite and is undone to prove the test would fail without it.
  • Model selection automation. AstraOne picks the model and escalates to a stronger one if tests fail.
  • Checkpoint & undo. A checkpoint before every turn lets you accept, reject or fully revert any edit.
  • Local privacy. All code runs on your machine; no repository is copied to external servers and no training on your code.
  • Tool integration. Connects to existing Model Context Protocol servers, issue trackers, databases and internal services.
  • IDE & CLI support. Same agent works in JetBrains IDEs, Zed, terminal, CI and pull requests.
  • Custom model keys. Bring your own API key to use any model; the key is used once and never stored.

Cline features

  • Plan-and-Act workflow. Toggle between planning steps and executing them, with optional auto-approve.
  • Multi-file edits. Coordinated changes across a project with linter-aware fixes, diffs and one-click undo.
  • Terminal integration. Runs bash commands, reacts to live output and can be used in CI pipelines.
  • Custom rules & skills. Define .clinerules to enforce coding standards and deployment conventions.
  • Model agnostic. Supports Claude, GPT, Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
  • Extensible via MCP & plugins. Register custom tools, lifecycle hooks and integrate databases or APIs.
  • Team & automation features. Multi-agent teams, scheduled cron jobs and integrations with Slack, Linear and CI systems.
  • Desktop app. Native desktop client for Mac, Windows and Linux, no editor required.
