Docs: Document .continue/configs directory support #12377

@continue

Description

@continue

Summary

PR #11935 added support for the .continue/configs/ directory as a third location for loading local config profiles, alongside .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/. This feature lacks comprehensive documentation.

Feature Overview

  • YAML files in .continue/configs/ (workspace or global) are now discovered, watched, and loaded as local profiles
  • File creation/deletion in .continue/configs/ triggers config reload
  • Works alongside existing .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/ directories

Current Documentation State

  • The Ollama guide references ~/.continue/configs/config.yaml in examples
  • No dedicated documentation explaining the configs directory feature
  • No explanation of the difference between .continue/configs/, .continue/agents/, and .continue/assistants/

Missing Documentation

  1. Overview of the three config directories and their purposes:
    • .continue/configs/ - General config profiles
    • .continue/agents/ - Agent definitions
    • .continue/assistants/ - Assistant definitions
  2. How local profiles are discovered and loaded
  3. File watching behavior (auto-reload on changes)
  4. Global (~/.continue/) vs workspace (.continue/) scope

Suggested Locations

  • New section in customize/configuration docs
  • Reference in the Getting Started guide
  • Update any existing docs that mention .continue directory structure
