Patchrooms for Cline
Add visual feedback to your Cline app
Cline is an autonomous coding agent inside VS Code that plans and edits across your codebase. Patchrooms layers element-anchored feedback on top, so every comment turns into agent-ready context.
Try the live demoWhy Cline teams need visual feedback
- Cline plans multi-step edits, so the quality of the goal you give it directly shapes the result.
- Bug reports without an anchor make Cline’s plan guess at the target.
- Patchrooms attaches selector, screenshot, goal, and constraints to each report.
- Cline then plans against an accurate target and fixes it cleanly.

Ask Cline to wire Patchrooms in for you, paste this prompt:
Add the Patchrooms review widget. Insert this script tag into the main HTML template before the closing </body> tag, exactly as written:
…then give it the snippet below. It loads on the live preview and turns on artifact-review mode: pinpoint comments anchored to the elements your reviewers click.
<script src="https://room.patchrooms.com/v1/patchrooms.js"
data-project-key="pr_xxx"
data-source="cline"
data-mode="artifact-review"></script> Or try it locally: no account, no key, no server
Reviewing a Cline artifact on your own machine? Run Patchrooms in local mode: no account, no project key, zero network calls. Pinpoint comments stay in your browser and export to Markdown you paste straight back into Cline.
<script src="https://room.patchrooms.com/v1/patchrooms.js"></script>
<script>
Patchrooms.init({ storage: 'local', mode: 'artifact-review' });
</script> Review workflow
Share the preview link with your team or client. Anyone clicks an element, types a comment or records a voice note (Patchrooms auto-transcribes it to clean text), and captures the selector, a screenshot, and the page context. Every comment carries a status (new, triaged, in-progress, closed) so nothing falls through the cracks. See the full UI review workflow.
Export feedback to your AI agent
Each report exports as clean Markdown with the element selector, a screenshot reference, and the artifact goal and constraints. Paste it straight into Cline and the agent fixes the exact issue: this is the heart of AI artifact review. The Patchrooms MCP server lets agents read reports directly (list_reports / get_report) and triage them (set_status). Available now; extended MCP tools (create_room, issue creation) are planned, and a @patchrooms/react package is coming for tighter React integration.
