Continue Reasoning - Coding Agent

An interactive CLI coding assistant powered by the Continue Reasoning framework.

Installation

Install globally via npm:

npm install -g @continue-reasoning/coding

Quick Start

After installation, start the coding agent:

cr

This will launch an interactive CLI interface where you can:

• Ask coding questions
• Request code generation and editing
• Analyze and understand codebases
• Get help with debugging and testing
• Execute system commands

Tool Categories

File Operations

• Read: Read file contents with line-by-line processing
• Edit: Advanced editing with multiple strategies
• Glob: Pattern-based file matching
• Grep: Content search and pattern matching

System Operations

• Bash: Execute shell commands
• Runtime: Code execution in different environments
• Sandbox: Safe execution with security constraints

Development Tools

• Diff Tools: Apply and reverse diffs
• Error Handling: Enhanced error reporting and recovery
• Chat History: Manage conversation context

Configuration

The coding agent uses intelligent defaults:

• Model: Latest OpenAI models with enhanced reasoning
• Context Management: Smart history pruning and context optimization
• Tool Integration: Parallel tool execution for efficiency
• Security: Sandboxed execution environments

Development

Building from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cyl19970726/continue-reasoning
cd continue-reasoning

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Build the coding package
cd packages/coding
pnpm run build

# Run locally
npm link
cr

Development Mode

For quick verification after code modifications, you can run the project in development mode:

# Start TypeScript compiler in watch mode
pnpm run dev

# In a separate terminal, run the CLI directly
node --loader ts-node/esm start.ts
# Or alternatively:
npx ts-node --esm start.ts

This setup will automatically recompile the TypeScript files whenever you make changes, allowing you to quickly test your modifications without having to manually rebuild the project each time.

Running Tests

cd packages/coding
pnpm test
