open-source coding agent

What it solves

Continue provides an open-source coding agent to assist developers in their daily programming tasks directly within their development environment.

How it works

It is implemented as a set of extensions and tools, including a VS Code extension, a JetBrains plugin, and a command-line interface (CLI), allowing AI-driven coding assistance to be integrated into the software development workflow.

Who it’s for

Software developers who want an open-source AI coding agent integrated into their IDE or terminal.

    OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent available as a CLI and a beta desktop app. It installs via curl script, npm, Homebrew, pacman, mise, or Nix. It includes two built-in agents — "build" (full-access, default) and "plan" (read-only) — switchable with Tab, plus a "general" subagent. Docs are at opencode.ai/v2/docs, and projects using "opencode" in their name must disclaim affiliation with the team.
