# Cline Formatter

<!-- Auto-generated by `pnpm docs:formatters`. Do not edit manually. -->

PromptScript compiles your `.prs` sources to native Cline configuration. The main output is `.clinerules`. It is not enabled by default, add it to `targets` to use it.

## Enable the Target

```yaml
targets:
  - cline
```

Pick an output version when you need more than the default:

```yaml
targets:
  - cline:
      version: full
```
