Overview
Continue is a coding agent distributed as an npm CLI, a VS Code extension (Marketplace and OpenVSX) and a JetBrains plugin. The repository is read-only and no longer actively maintained; the final 2.0.0 release removed anonymous telemetry and authentication. The README does not list supported models or providers and points to docs.continue.dev for configuration.
Who it is for: Developers wanting a forkable open-source coding agent for VS Code or terminal
Strengths
- Ships as CLI, VS Code extension and JetBrains plugin from one codebase
- Final 2.0.0 release removed anonymous telemetry and authentication
- Apache-2.0 license; extension available on OpenVSX as well as Marketplace
- Source for each extension lives in its own directory (vscode, cli, intellij)
Weaknesses
- Repository is read-only and no longer actively maintained
- README recommends the CLI over the JetBrains plugin
- README does not list supported models or providers; docs needed
- No Docker or compose setup
