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

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
