Automated donor syncing for Cline

Cline acts as your personal assistant for CRM updates. Give it a list of names, and it will trigger `sync_donor_contact` for every entry it finds. It handles the heavy lifting so you don't have to map fields manually. Just tell Cline what to do and watch it update your records.

Real-time transaction monitoring in Cline

Keep an eye on your incoming funds without leaving VS Code. Cline uses `list_donation_transactions` to fetch the latest activity and logs it into your local project files. It helps you keep your books balanced. You'll know exactly where your campaign stands because Cline checks the source of truth every time you ask.

Verify your Givebutter connection

Cline makes sure your credentials are valid before it starts any task. It runs `verify_api_connection` to ensure the link between your environment and the server is solid. This saves you time when you're running complex scripts. You won't run into auth errors halfway through a batch import.
