Automated Style Guides: Enforcing Coding Standards with 'Continue' & CI

A practical guide to automating ~90% of code style enforcement by combining Continue.dev (an open-source AI IDE assistant) with GitHub Actions. The approach involves writing machine-readable Markdown style rules in `.continue/rules/`, giving developers real-time LLM-powered feedback in their editor, and building a two-layer CI pipeline: traditional linters (ESLint, Prettier) for deterministic checks, plus a Node.js script that sends PR diffs and style rules to an LLM (GPT-4o) and posts structured inline review comments via the GitHub API. The article covers the full implementation including workflow YAML, the review script, prompt engineering for low false positives, gradual rollout strategy, cost management, and metrics to track impact.
