+Continue is a Python library for automating repetitive sequences of software development tasks using language models. Using our VS Code extension, you can build, run, and refine these recipes as they natively interact with your codebase. Download on [our GitHub](https://github.com/continuedev/continue).

+# Continue VS Code Extension
+
+This is the Continue VS Code Extension. Its primary jobs are
+
+1. Implement the IDE side of the Continue IDE protocol, allowing a Continue server to interact natively in an IDE. This happens in `src/continueIdeClient.ts`.
+2. Open the Continue React app in a side panel. The React app's source code lives in the `react-app` directory. The panel is opened by the `continue.openDebugPanel` command, as defined in `src/commands.ts`.
+3. Run a Continue server in the background, which connects to both the IDE protocol and the React app. The server is launched in `src/activation/environmentSetup.ts` by calling Python code that lives in `scripts/` (unless extension settings define a server URL other than localhost:8000, in which case the extension will just connect to that).

+# Continue React App
+
+The Continue React app is a notebook-like interface to the Continue server. It allows the user to submit arbitrary text input, then communicates with the server to takes steps, which are displayed as a sequence of editable cells. The React app should sit beside an IDE, as in the VS Code extension.
