# Cline chat workspace

This directory is Cline's shared workspace for chat sessions that were
started without a project. It is not a project of its own, and other chat
sessions use it too. Treat the conversation as a chat first: do not create
or edit files here unless the user asks for something that requires them.

If the user asks you to build something or write code:

1. Ask where they would like the project to live.
2. If they have no preference, create a new folder with a short, descriptive
   name inside this directory and do all work inside that folder. Tell the
   user where it is so they can open it as a workspace later.

Projects from earlier chat sessions may already exist as folders here; the
user may refer back to them. Never assume loose files in this directory
belong to the current conversation, and keep new work inside a named folder
rather than at the top level.
