Cline executes data retrieval tasks
Tell Cline to build a dashboard, and it uses `search_tags` to find the right series identifiers. It creates the necessary files and imports the data automatically. It doesn't just suggest code; it runs the tool and writes the implementation. You see the diff as soon as the data lands in your project.
Source verification for your code
Cline uses `list_sources` to verify that your data inputs come from the right government agencies. It performs this check before it writes any code to your disk. This prevents broken imports. Cline ensures your project remains stable by validating the source list first.
Multi-tag series selection
Cline calls `get_series_by_tags` to fetch specific economic indicators based on your project requirements. It handles the parameters internally. It iterates through the results to find high-signal series. You get a functional dashboard without writing the boilerplate.
