Tool overview
Continue is listed under Programming AI tools.
What is Continue?
Continue helps engineering teams define AI checks as files in a repository and run them on pull requests as status checks. The workflow lets teams encode standards, quality rules, review prompts, and suggested fixes in source control so AI assistance is governed by human-defined checks rather than ad hoc prompts.
