Background
Tabnine CLI is a coding agent runtime by Tabnine. Adding Tabnine CLI to Observal would let users pull agents, scan installed components, and trace sessions.
Before you pick this up
Only take this issue if you are willing to use Tabnine CLI as a daily driver for a while to properly test the integration, help maintain support for the runtime semi-long term, and write proper documentation for it.
Implementation guide
Follow docs/adding-an-ide.md for the full file checklist and step-by-step process. Start with Step 1 (Research the IDE) using the official Tabnine CLI documentation at https://docs.tabnine.com/main/getting-started/tabnine-cli to determine config paths, MCP format, hook support, and session log locations.
Scope
Add Tabnine CLI with full IDE support. All coding agent runtimes store session data (JSONL, SQLite, or similar). Part of this issue is figuring out where and how Tabnine CLI persists sessions, then building the parser so observal reconcile and the trace viewer work correctly. Document your findings in the PR.
Note: PRs without screenshots showing traces in the IDE, and screenshots of skills, hooks, and MCPs installed via Observal working will be automatically closed.
