Creating Continue Packages

Overview

Continue uses markdown files with YAML frontmatter in .continuerules/*.md or YAML configuration in config.yaml. Rules are context-aware using glob patterns, regex matching, or always-applied globally.

CRITICAL: The name field is REQUIRED in frontmatter (unlike other formats where it's optional).
