Roo Code#17

The advanced mode-driven fork of Cline with switchable roles (Architect, Code, Debug, Custom) and deep tool settings.

Roo Code (formerly Roo Cline) is a customizable fork of Cline tailored for power users. It introduces switchable operational personas — Architect for system design, Code for implementation, Debug for troubleshooting, and custom user-defined modes with fine-grained tool restrictions and model assignments.
