Coding agent for VS Code, JetBrains and the terminal, now shipped as a final version and no longer under active development.
Continue is a coding agent that ships in three forms, a command line interface, a VS Code extension and a JetBrains plugin. The repository is read-only and no longer actively maintained, so anyone picking it up today is working with a frozen codebase rather than a project still moving.
The team closed the work with a final 2.0.0 release across all three clients. That release removed anonymous telemetry, pulled out authentication and squashed remaining bugs, which leaves a version that runs without phoning home or asking anyone to create an account first.
What remains available splits across the distribution channels.
- CLI: published on npm, and the maintainers recommend it over the JetBrains plugin.
- VS Code extension: listed on the Visual Studio Marketplace and on the Open VSX registry.
- JetBrains plugin: distributed through the repository releases, with its source in the extensions directory.
- Documentation: the guides on configuring Continue, how it works and how to customize it are still published.
- Apache 2.0 license: the code stays open for anyone who wants to fork it or build something else on it.
Continue suits developers who want an agent they can read end to end and adapt, and the maintainers say they hope the codebase serves as a foundation for others. Anyone who needs ongoing fixes or support for new models should plan on maintaining a fork of their own.
