// Package continueagent implements the Continue CLI agent adapter. // // Continue (https://docs.continue.dev/guides/cli) is Continue's terminal coding // agent. Its binary is "cn" (npm package @continuedev/cli) and the AO harness / // manifest id is the string "continue". The Go package and directory are named // "continueagent" because "continue" is a reserved keyword. // // Tier B (Claude Code-compatible hooks): the Continue CLI natively reads Claude // Code hook settings (.claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json) and // dispatches Claude-format hook events (SessionStart, UserPromptSubmit, // PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, Notification) with the standard hook payload // (session_id, hook_event_name, hookSpecificOutput, permissionDecision, // additionalContext). So we reuse the claudecode hook installer and route hook // callbacks through the existing "ao hooks claude-code " dispatcher — no // Continue-specific native hook config or activity deriver is needed. // // Launch is headless via `cn --print [--auto|--readonly] `; the prompt // is the positional argument (in-command delivery). Restore continues a specific // native session by id with `cn --fork ` (Continue's `--resume` only // continues the *last* session, so it cannot target a particular AO session). package continueagent import ( "context" "strings" "sync" "github.com/aoagents/agent-orchestrator/backend/internal/adapters" "github.com/aoagents/agent-orchestrator/backend/internal/adapters/agent/agentbase" "github.com/aoagents/agent-orchestrator/backend/internal/adapters/agent/binaryutil" "github.com/aoagents/agent-orchestrator/backend/internal/adapters/agent/claudecode" "github.com/aoagents/agent-orchestrator/backend/internal/ports" ) // adapterID is the AO harness / manifest id.
