Why we included this project

Continue is a coding agent that runs as a VS Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, or a standalone CLI, so it fits into the editor you already use. It offers an agent mode that works through development tasks alongside you, plus a chat mode for asking questions about your code. You can also create and share custom agents, and because it is model-agnostic, teams can connect it to the models they already pay for instead of being locked into one vendor. One honest caveat: the repository is now read-only after a final 2.0.0 release, so treat it as a stable, self-hostable tool rather than an actively evolving project. That still makes it a useful reference for anyone building or evaluating open-source AI coding assistants.
