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. Read the docs here or download the VS Code extension here.

Continue Server

The Continue server acts as a bridge between the Continue React app and your IDE, running your recipes and acting on the codebase. Start it by running the following commands:

cd continuedev
Make sure packages are installed with poetry install
poetry shell
cd ..
python3 -m continuedev.src.continuedev.server.main

Scripts

poetry run typegen to generate JSONSchema .json files from the Pydantic types defined in the models directory.

poetry build will output wheel and tarball files in ./dist.

Writing Steps

See the src/continuedev/libs/steps folder for examples of writing a Continue step. See our documentation for tutorials.
