What is Continue?
Continue runs AI checks on every pull request. Each check is a markdown file in your repo that shows up as a GitHub status check — green if the code looks good, red with a suggested fix if not.
Quickstart
Paste this into Claude Code (or any coding agent):
Help me write checks for this codebase: https://continue.dev/walkthrough
This walks you through creating your first checks, connecting GitHub, and seeing them run on a PR. See Write Your First Check for the full guide.
How it works
You define checks as markdown files in
.continue/checks/. Each file has a name, a description, and a prompt that tells the AI what to look for.---
name: Security Review
description: Flag hardcoded secrets and missing input validation
---
Review this pull request for security issues.
Flag as failing if any of these are true:
- Hardcoded API keys, tokens, or passwords in source files
- New API endpoints without input validation
- SQL queries built with string concatenation
- Sensitive data logged to stdout
If none of these issues are found, pass the check.
When a PR is opened, Continue runs each check against the diff and reports the result as a GitHub status check. If a check fails, it suggests a fix you can accept or reject directly from GitHub.
