Continuum VSCode Extension

Connect VS Code to Continuum — the universal context layer that lets you seamlessly switch between AI coding assistants (Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity) without losing your development context.

Getting Started

1. Install the Continuum server

   pip install continuum-context-hub

2. Start the server

   continuum serve

3. Connect from VS Code

   • Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
   • Run Continuum: Connect
   • You should see "Connected to Continuum v..." confirmation

4. Store your first memory

   • Run Continuum: Remember from the Command Palette
   • Enter what you want to remember (e.g. "We use camelCase for all TS functions")
   • Choose a category and importance level

The Continuum sidebar panel will appear in the Activity Bar, showing all your project memories organized by category.

How It Works

Continuum acts as a shared memory layer across your development tools. Memories you store from VS Code are available to AI agents running in Cursor, Windsurf, or any other Continuum-connected IDE — and vice versa.

VS Code ──┐
Cursor ──┤──▶ Continuum Server ──▶ Shared Memory
Windsurf ──┘ (local / remote) (per-project)

Each memory has a category (architecture, conventions, patterns, debugging, decisions, preferences, general) and an importance level (critical, high, medium, low, ephemeral) to help AI agents prioritize the most relevant context.

Commands

Command	Description
Continuum: Connect	Check connection to the Continuum server
Continuum: Remember	Store a new memory with category and importance
Continuum: Recall	Search memories by semantic query
Continuum: Project Context	View all project memories in a formatted document
Continuum: Sync	Refresh and display the full project context
Continuum: Push Selection	Push the currently selected text as a memory
Continuum: Refresh Memories	Refresh the sidebar memory tree
Continuum: Delete Memory	Delete a memory (sidebar context menu)
Continuum: Copy Memory Content	Copy memory text to clipboard (sidebar context menu)

Settings

Setting	Type	Default	Description
continuum.serverUrl	string	http://localhost:8000	URL of the Continuum server
continuum.autoPushOnSave	boolean	false	Automatically push a memory when files are saved

Both settings take effect immediately — no reload required.

Sidebar

The Continuum panel in the Activity Bar shows your project's memories grouped by category. Each memory displays its importance level with a distinct icon:

• Error icon — critical
• Warning icon — high
• Info icon — medium
• Circle — low
• Clock — ephemeral

Right-click a memory to delete it or copy its content.
