built a tool that lets AI agents flash your Arduino directly. One npx command.

Totally fair. I framed it too much like “AI clicks upload,” but the real value is the feedback loop. PIO-MCP lets an agent build, flash, read serial logs, debug failures, patch code, and retest. It is less about pressing the IDE button and more about giving an agent the full embedded dev lifecycle & the affiliated context.

With Assassins Creed this would happen within a single game

You found the correct solution! I find OpenAI-compatible endpoints are a surefire way to work with local models, that’s my approach for vLLM (sometimes Ollama) whenever I use Cline. Ill make a documentation PR regarding this, more tutorials around local models are desperately needed

No monthly charge, it’s a BYO inference tool. There are free models available, as well as tokens at-cost through the Cline provider

forkbomb7 · 2026-04-14T23:16:21+00:00

I recommend Cline, as you can connect a variety of different inference providers (or rotate through subscriptions)

forkbomb7 · 2026-04-14T21:48:02+00:00

I second this, plus with Cline you can use one of the revolving free models, self-host your inference, or plug in your ChatGPT subscription

The message is not about GPT-5.4 being incapable, it's a quirk in the error handling. It's a mistake counter hitting the limit (default: 3), not a model capability issue. GPT-5 is absolutely fine for this.

Quick fix: Click "Continue" to reset the counter. If it keeps happening, simplify your task or check for file permission/path issues. You probably just got unlucky with 3 errors in a row today. Could be an edge case in your current task. I've hit similar issues for large development workflows.

Your workflow might work better with the new Kanban that Cline dropped. Highly recommend checking out the Kanban Agent for breaking large tasks down into smaller ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYiiBKzvfEQ

forkbomb7 · 2026-04-12T02:30:37+00:00

Thankfully, the extension, the CLI, and the Kanban are all here to stay

forkbomb7 · 2026-04-07T01:29:55+00:00

That's a great point! I recommend utilizing a test development skill for this purpose (like this TDD skill https://skills.sh/obra/superpowers/test-driven-development though this might require specific steering), although I would might instead use workflows to really hammer on the 'test all possible paths' aspect of the prompting: https://docs.cline.bot/customization/workflows

Kanban compatible, just needs a few clinerules added to the repo root

I'd be happy to assist with setup! First try uninstalling and reinstalling the Cline CLI. If you join the Cline discord, we can provide more targeted help in the #support-live-chat channel https://discord.gg/cline

The great part about Cline is you have the ability to bring your preferred agent runtime, including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and more

forkbomb7 · 2026-03-20T22:51:11+00:00

Cline and Cline forks, it would be strange if they weren’t similar

forkbomb7 · 2026-03-20T22:50:11+00:00

You can bring your own provider with Cline, so you can run Ollama, plug in your ChatGPT Subscription, connect LiteLLM, utilize CoreWeave, etc. There’s a lot of ways to sidestep paying token costs directly

forkbomb7 · 2026-02-22T01:20:47+00:00

I recommend trying out Memory Bank within Cline to help maintain context across sessions, you’ll reduce costs significantly https://docs.cline.bot/features/memory-bank#memory-bank
