How it works / How to use

Open-source AI coding agent acquired by Cursor. The Continue codebase remains freely available for building and extending AI developer tooling.

  1. Open Continue in your editor, terminal, or browser workspace.
  2. Describe the change, bug, or feature with file paths and expected behavior.
  3. Review suggested diffs or commands before applying them.
  4. Iterate with test output or error messages when the first pass is incomplete.

How to prompt

Continue was designed as an open-source coding agent that reads and edits project files from the IDE.

Refactor the data fetching layer to use a shared hook pattern. Update all components in src/features/ that duplicate fetch logic.

Best output tips

  • Include file paths, stack, and error output verbatim.
