How to use planning-with-files with Continue (VS Code / JetBrains).
- Project-level skill:
.continue/skills/planning-with-files/ - Project-level slash command prompt:
.continue/prompts/planning-with-files.prompt(Markdown)
Continue supports both project-level (<repo>/.continue/...) and global (~/.continue/...) locations.
In your project root:
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
cp -r planning-with-files/.continue .continueRestart Continue (or reload the IDE) so it picks up the new files.
Copy the skill and prompt into your global Continue directory:
git clone https://github.com/OthmanAdi/planning-with-files.git
mkdir -p ~/.continue/skills ~/.continue/prompts
cp -r planning-with-files/.continue/skills/planning-with-files ~/.continue/skills/
cp planning-with-files/.continue/prompts/planning-with-files.prompt ~/.continue/prompts/Restart Continue (or reload the IDE) so it picks up the new files.
- In Continue chat, run:
/planning-with-files
- The prompt will guide you to:
- Ensure
task_plan.md,findings.md,progress.mdexist in your repo root - Update these files throughout the task
- Ensure
From your project root:
# Create task_plan.md / findings.md / progress.md (if missing)
bash .continue/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/init-session.sh
# Verify all phases marked complete (expects task_plan.md format)
bash .continue/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/check-complete.sh
# Recover unsynced context from last Claude Code session (if you also use Claude Code)
python3 .continue/skills/planning-with-files/scripts/session-catchup.py "$(pwd)"- Continue does not run Claude Code hooks (PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop). The workflow is manual: re-read
task_plan.mdbefore decisions and update it after each phase. - The three planning files are tool-agnostic and can be used across Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and Continue.
