# Threads — Roo To Cline Migration

## Evidence
- Official Roo docs: https://docs.roocode.com/
- ThumbGate migration guide: https://thumbgate-production.up.railway.app/guides/roo-code-alternative-cline?utm_source=roo&utm_medium=threads&utm_campaign=roo_cline_migration&utm_content=guide
- Cline install doc: https://github.com/IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate/blob/main/adapters/cline/INSTALL.md
- Commercial truth: https://github.com/IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate/blob/main/docs/COMMERCIAL_TRUTH.md
- Verification evidence: https://github.com/IgorGanapolsky/ThumbGate/blob/main/docs/VERIFICATION_EVIDENCE.md

## Guardrails
- Do not claim installs, revenue, or marketplace approval without direct command evidence.
- Do not lead with proof links before the buyer confirms pain.
- Keep pricing and traction claims aligned with `COMMERCIAL_TRUTH.md`.
- Keep quality and proof claims aligned with `VERIFICATION_EVIDENCE.md`.

## Draft
Roo's docs say the shutdown date is May 15, 2026, and they point users to Cline as the open-source alternative.

The real migration problem is not the extension swap. It is losing every correction that only lived in Roo's context.

ThumbGate keeps lesson memory in a local SQLite file and turns repeated failures into pre-action checks. Swap the agent, keep the corrections.

`npx thumbgate init --agent cline`
