-**NOTE:**
-This version of Teamscale pre-commit CLI is being superseded by a more feature-rich [command-line client for Teamscale](https://docs.teamscale.com/reference/teamscale-cli/) that also supports [integrating with various IDEs and editors](https://docs.teamscale.com/getting-started/other-ides/).
-We recommend switching to the new client.
+> [!CAUTION]
+> The Teamscale Pre-Commit CLI (`teamscale-cli`) is **deprecated** since February 2024.
+> If using VS Code, please switch to our native [Teamscale Integration for Visual Studio Code](https://docs.teamscale.com/getting-started/visual-studio-code/).
+> If integrating pre-commit in another IDE, please switch to the more feature-rich [Teamscale Command-Line Client for Developers (`teamscale-dev`)](https://docs.teamscale.com/getting-started/other-ides/) as soon as possible.

 Also, keep in mind that `python` by default might point to Xcode's own copy of python. Hence, you might want to explicitly specify the python executable's path instead (e.g. `/usr/bin/python`).
 
 **In Xcode you cannot use `--fetch-existing-findings` since there is unfortunately no environment variable for the currently opened editor file.
