Continue is an open-source coding agent that integrates directly into VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the terminal via its `cn` CLI. It brings AI-assisted chat, inline editing, code autocomplete, and autonomous agent workflows to developers without locking them into a single model provider. You can wire it up to Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Bedrock, or dozens of other backends through a single YAML configuration file.
The CLI (`cn`) runs as an interactive TUI—think a terminal-native chat interface with session persistence, slash commands, skill loading, and subagent delegation. In headless mode with the `-p` flag it becomes scriptable: pipe prompts from stdin, capture JSON output, and drop it into CI/CD pipelines or automation scripts without a TTY. The VS Code extension layers on top with inline editing, multi-file agent tasks, and a full chat panel powered by the same core.
Continue supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) out of the box, letting teams connect it to internal tools, documentation, and custom context providers. The skills system allows markdown-defined workflows to be loaded as slash commands, making the agent's behavior customizable and shareable across a team. All configuration lives in a `.continue/` directory under version control.
Note: As of June 2026, the continuedev/continue repository reached its final 2.0.0 release. The codebase is now read-only and serves as a reference implementation. The 2.0.0 release included removal of anonymous telemetry, decoupled authentication, and a comprehensive bug fix pass.
