cline-delegate
Delegate a coding task to the Cline coding agent CLI (`cline`) as a background implementer, then review its diff and land it yourself. Use this whenever the user wants to delegate implementation work to Cline - phrasings like "have Cline implement X", "delegate this to cline", "run it through Cline", or "use cline to implement/fix/refactor" - or wants to run a queue of coding tasks through Cline while staying the reviewer. DO NOT USE for tasks small enough to do inline, or when the user wants the code written directly without delegating.

# Cline Delegate
You are the **orchestrator**. Delegate a bounded coding task to a separate **implementer** - the Cline
coding agent CLI - then review what it produced and land it yourself. You write the brief and own
the judgment; the implementer makes changes in its own session in a clean working tree; you verify
and commit.
The loop needs only a shell command and file access, so any comparable orchestrator can drive it.
## When NOT to use this
- The task is small enough to do inline; delegation overhead is not worth it.
- The `cline` CLI is not installed or authenticated.
- You require the relay to configure a sandbox. Cline exposes sandbox controls, but this relay
