Continue Custom Slash Commands & Context Providers
by Continue
Continue is an open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Custom slash commands are named, reusable prompt templates you register under the `prompts` key in `config.yaml` and invoke with `/name`. Context providers are the `@`-mention system that pulls specific information — files, docs, terminal, or MCP tools — into the model's context on demand.
Works with
MCP servers, custom models, context providers, and rules.
When to use it
- When you run the same prompt repeatedly (write tests, review diff, add docs)
- When you want precise control over what context reaches the model
When not to
- For one-off asks that don't warrant a saved command
What it does
- Define reusable `/command` prompt templates for common tasks
- Pull targeted context via `@`-mention providers (files, docs, terminal, and more)
- Share the configuration in-repo so a team uses the same commands
How to install
Setup steps with copy-paste config. Sources are cited under each method.

Edit config.yaml
Register a prompt under the `prompts` key; it becomes `/name` in the chat panel. (`config.yaml` supersedes the legacy `config.json`.)
yamlprompts: - name: test description: Write unit tests for the highlighted code prompt: | Write thorough unit tests for the selected code. Cover edge cases and error paths, and match our existing test style.Invoke it
Highlight code, open Continue's chat, and type `/test` to run the saved template.

How to prompt it
Copy-paste prompts written to exercise this plugin, with what to expect.
Combine a command with context
You want tests written using the actual file plus your testing docs.
/test @currentFile @docs How should I structure these tests?
What to expect: Continue runs the saved `/test` template with the current file and your docs pulled in via context providers, producing tests aligned to your conventions.
- Name a specific context provider rather than dumping the whole repo — precision beats volume.
Tips for getting the most out of it
- Keep commands single-purpose and describe them well so teammates know when to use each.
- Prefer `config.yaml`; if a `config.yaml` exists it takes precedence over the deprecated `config.json`.

Frequently asked questions
What are context providers?+
They power Continue's `@`-mentions — each provider (files, docs, terminal, MCP tools, and more) injects a specific slice of context into the model on demand.
