What it does

Continue is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Use after an execution slice to reassess whether the current tactic still serves the user's north star, then keep course, pivot, replan, or stop. Designed for long-running loops where the agent should keep moving unless a real blocker or completed lane exists.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

Example prompts

  • “/continue”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. the user's current goal
  2. the active plan or mutable state file
  3. the latest verification or evidence
  4. the remaining owner list or blocker list
  5. the files or docs carrying the current problem
  6. any architecture/research/context doc that defines the principle stack
  7. previous failed tactics recorded in the state file
  8. current_pass, current_pass_status, and current_pass_skill from the

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6f3815d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Continue loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,394 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,394 words (~2,557 tokens).

“Use this after a meaningful execution slice.”
