the extension automatically watches your editor content for trigger phrases.
Trigger Text
Response
“I’ve reached my tool call limit of 25”
“continue”
“I need to pause execution”
“continue”
“To proceed with the remaining”
“continue”
“Would you like me to continue”
“Yes, please continue”
The extension:
Polls the active editor content every 500ms
Checks for any of the trigger phrases
When detected, automatically replaces the trigger with the corresponding response
The AI detects this as user input and continues its operation

Great thanks, love this script but when I follow your instructions and get to:
npm run compile
I get this error:
C:\Users\David\Downloads\auto continue cursor extention\autocontinue>npm run compile
> [email protected] compile
> tsc -p ./
error TS5057: Cannot find a tsconfig.json file at the specified directory: './'.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)
