Cline automates museum data imports
Tell Cline to build a page using `get_random_object` or `search_objects_faceted`. It executes these calls and writes the necessary TypeScript interfaces for you. It handles the full lifecycle of the data. Cline fetches the JSON, creates the components, and verifies the output.
Mapping exhibitions inside Cline
The agent uses `list_rooms` and `get_exhibition_info` to structure your site architecture. It understands the museum's hierarchy without manual mapping. You can ask it to generate a gallery view based on `get_objects_on_display`. It writes the logic to fetch and render those assets in one go.
Querying object history in Cline
Use `get_person_objects` to find everything a specific designer contributed to the collection. Cline writes the scripts to pull and sort this information. It keeps your codebase clean by using `spec_methods` to ensure it only calls supported endpoints. You get working code that follows the API rules.
