๐Ÿš€ New Pluggable Architecture

We've introduced a new pluggable architecture to make Continue more modular and extensible. Key features include:

  • Core Plugin System: A robust plugin interface for extending functionality
  • Modular Design: Each component (GUI, Binary, Extensions) is now a separate plugin
  • Simplified Development: Easier to develop and test components in isolation
  • Better Dependency Management: Improved dependency management with npm workspaces

Getting Started with Plugins

  1. Install Dependencies

    npm install
    
  2. Start Development Server

    npm run dev
    
  3. Build for Production

    npm run build
    
  4. Run the Application

    npm start
    

Creating a New Plugin

  1. Create a new directory in packages/ for your plugin
  2. Implement the IPlugin interface from @continuedev/core
  3. Register your plugin in the main application
  4. Build and test your plugin

For more details, see our plugin development guide.
