Cline

Install the Cline extension and connect it with an OpenAI-compatible provider.

Cline is an agent inside VS Code. It ships an OpenAI Compatible provider type, which maps directly onto Triw.

Requirements

Item	Note
VS Code	1.84 or newer
Node	not required — the extension bundles its runtime

Install

1. Open VS Code → Extensions (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + X).
2. Search Cline, install the publisher-verified extension.
3. Open the Cline panel from the sidebar; the API configuration screen appears on first run.

Alternative: install from the VS Code Marketplace or the Open VSX registry for VSCodium.

Configure

In the Cline panel, click the ⚙️ icon, then set:

Field	Value
API Provider	OpenAI Compatible
Base URL	https://router.triw.io/v1
API Key	your sk-... Triw key
Model ID	exact id from GET /v1/models, e.g. claude-sonnet-4-5

Then open Model Configuration and set the real limits of that model:

Field	Why it matters
Context Window	Cline sizes its prompts from this; wrong values truncate or overrun
Max Output Tokens	Caps per-turn output
Supports Images	Enables screenshot input for vision models
Supports Computer Use	Enables the browser tool loop
Input / Output price	Local cost estimate in the UI only

Verify

Ask Cline to read a file in the open workspace. If it answers and the Triw log shows the request, the wiring is correct.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
400 invalid_request_error	Model rejected a tool schema or parameter	Switch model; Cline’s tool payload is large
Agent loops without progress	Weak tool-calling model	Use a coding model, raise max output tokens
Context errors after a few turns	Context window set too high	Set the model’s real window
401	Key has quotes or a newline	Re-paste in the settings field
