Description

Summary

PR #11935 added support for .continue/configs/ as a third directory (alongside .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/) for loading local config profiles. This is not explicitly documented.

What needs to be documented

  • The .continue/configs/ directory is now supported for storing YAML config profiles
  • Works in both workspace and global ~/.continue/ directories
  • Files are automatically discovered and appear as selectable profiles
  • File changes are watched and trigger config reload

Current state

The docs mention .continue/agents/ in the agents documentation, and there are example file paths using ~/.continue/configs/config.yaml in some guides, but the .continue/configs/ directory feature is not explicitly documented as a supported feature.

Suggested location

  • Add to configuration/setup docs
  • Consider a comprehensive "Directory Structure" documentation page explaining all supported directories:
    • .continue/agents/
    • .continue/assistants/
    • .continue/configs/
    • .continue/checks/
