Sync Cline's coding progress to BasicOps tasks

Tell Cline to build a new React component, and it won't just write the code. It uses `get_task` to read the specifications directly from your BasicOps project board, ensuring it builds exactly what was requested. Once the tests pass, Cline calls `update_task` to change the status to complete. You get a working component and a clean BasicOps board without touching your mouse.

Direct team context inside the Cline sidebar

Avoid building the wrong thing because of outdated BasicOps specs. Cline checks `list_project_tasks` and `list_task_messages` to see if your team changed the requirements in the last hour. It reads those active conversations directly inside VS Code. If a designer posted a new requirement, Cline adapts its code output to match the latest feedback from your team.

Manage BasicOps projects directly from Cline

Setting up a new repository shouldn't mean manually copying BasicOps task lists. Cline runs `create_project` to initialize your tracking board the second you scaffold a new codebase. It can even run `list_webhooks` to verify that your build notifications are routed to the right channels. This keeps your team updated on every commit Cline makes to the repository.
