Beyond Checks

Checks review every pull request automatically. But pull requests are just one trigger. Continue can also run agents on schedules, in response to events like new issues, Sentry alerts, or Slack messages.

Agents

Agents use the same markdown file format as checks. The difference: agents can be triggered by events beyond PR open — schedules, new issues, CI failures, webhooks, and more. Triggers are configured in the Mission Control UI.

Checks vs. agents

	Checks	Agents
File location	.continue/checks/	.continue/agents/ or continue.dev
Trigger	Always on PR open	Configurable in Mission Control
Purpose	Pass/fail review of PRs	Any automated task
