Continue插件模式分析:Chat、Plan与Agent模式深度解析

在前三篇文章中,我们已经成功在M1芯片的MacBook上安装了Docker,搭建了本地大模型服务(Ollama),并在VSCode中配置了Continue插件连接本地Ollama服务。

现在,我们来深入研究Continue插件的各种模式,并且会通过Wireshark抓包来分析Continue与LLM的交互过程,从而学习Agent的运行机制。。

Continue插件的三种核心模式

Continue插件提供了三种核心交互模式:Chat模式、Plan模式和Agent模式。

Chat模式

Chat模式是最基础的对话模式,允许用户与大模型进行多轮对话。这种模式类似于传统的聊天机器人,用户输入问题,模型返回回答。

Note

Chat模式主要处理用户的问题和模型的回复,不涉及复杂的代码编辑操作。

测试过程中,我会在同一个会话中提交多个问题,然后用Wireshark监听回环网口。

测试的样例问题如下:

 1提问:
 2
 3请记住这一句话,在一段时间之后我会需要你一字不落的复述出来:"季姬寂,集鸡,鸡即棘鸡。棘鸡饥叽,季姬及箕稷济鸡。鸡既济,跻姬笈,季姬忌,急咭鸡,鸡急,继圾几,季姬急,即籍箕击鸡,箕疾击几伎,伎即齑,鸡叽集几基,季姬急极屐击鸡,鸡既殛,季姬激,即记《季姬击鸡记》。"

 5接下来我们开始我们的正式对话,请你首先使用中文简单介绍一下你自己,然后讲述一下你自己是如何运行的(最好能够使用时序图展示一下)。

整个聊天内容重点测试同一个会话内:

  1. 多轮对话之间的关联关系
  2. 短期记忆
  3. 代码生成

最终测试结果如下:

Chat模式交互结果

Chat模式抓包分析

使用Wireshark来抓取Chat模式的网络请求的步骤如下:

  1. 启动Wireshark,选择本地回环接口(lo0)
  2. 设置过滤条件:http and ip.src == 127.0.0.1 and ip.dst == 127.0.0.1 and tcp.port == 11434
  3. 在VSCode中使用Continue插件的Chat模式发送消息
  4. 在Wireshark中观察请求和响应

关键过滤条件:

1http and ip.src == 127.0.0.1 and ip.dst == 127.0.0.1 and tcp.port == 11434

Chat模式抓包结果

问答1:一次性问答

抓包结果中,请求了/api/chat接口,请求报文如下:

 1{
 2    "model": "qwen3:1.7b-q4_K_M",
 3    "messages": [
 4        {
 5            "role": "system",
 6            "content": "<important_rules>\n  You are in chat mode.\n\n  If the user asks to make changes to files offer that they can use the Apply Button on the code block, or switch to Agent Mode to make the suggested updates automatically.\n  If needed concisely explain to the user they can switch to agent mode using the Mode Selector dropdown and provide no other details.\n\n  Always include the language and file name in the info string when you write code blocks.\n  If you are editing \"src/main.py\" for example, your code block should start with '```python src/main.py'\n\n  When addressing code modification requests, present a concise code snippet that\n  emphasizes only the necessary changes and uses abbreviated placeholders for\n  unmodified sections. For example:\n\n  ```language /path/to/file\n  // ... existing code ...\n\n  {{ modified code here }}\n\n  // ... existing code ...\n\n  {{ another modification }}\n\n  // ... rest of code ...\n  ```\n\n  In existing files, you should always restate the function or class that the snippet belongs to:\n\n  ```language /path/to/file\n  // ... existing code ...\n\n  function exampleFunction() {\n    // ... existing code ...\n\n    {{ modified code here }}\n\n    // ... rest of function ...\n  }\n\n  // ... rest of code ...\n  ```\n\n  Since users have access to their complete file, they prefer reading only the\n  relevant modifications. It's perfectly acceptable to omit unmodified portions\n  at the beginning, middle, or end of files using these \"lazy\" comments. Only\n  provide the complete file when explicitly requested. Include a concise explanation\n  of changes unless the user specifically asks for code only.\n\n</important_rules>"
 7        },
 8        {
 9            "role": "user",
10            "content": "请记住这一句话,在一段时间之后我会需要你一字不落的复述出来:\"季姬寂,集鸡,鸡即棘鸡。棘鸡饥叽,季姬及箕稷济鸡。鸡既济,跻姬笈,季姬忌,急咭鸡,鸡急,继圾几,季姬急,即籍箕击鸡,箕疾击几伎,伎即齑,鸡叽集几基,季姬急极屐击鸡,鸡既殛,季姬激,即记《季姬击鸡记》。\"\n接下来我们开始我们的正式对话,请你首先使用中文简单介绍一下你自己,然后讲述一下你自己是如何运行的(最好能够使用时序图展示一下)。"
11        }
12    ],
13    "options": {
14        "num_predict": 4096,
15        "stop": [
16            "<|im_start|>",
17            "<|im_end|>"
18        ],
19        "num_ctx": 8192
20    },
21    "think": false,
22    "keep_alive": 1800
23}

这你我们发现接口传入开了一个messages数组,其中包含了:

  1. Continue预定义好的system角色的prompt,这其中定义了LLM的角色定义、响应规范等等内容;
  2. user 角色的prompt,这里就是用户输入的问题

响应结果:

Chat模式响应结果

这里流式的返回了161个chunk,每一个包含了一些文本片段,这些文本片段最终拼成了我们在Continue插件中看到的响应结果。

问答2:会话title

 1{
 2    "model": "qwen3:1.7b-q4_K_M",
 3    "messages": [
 4        {
 5            "role": "user",
 6            "content": "Given the following... please reply with a title for the chat that is 3-4 words in length, all words used should be directly related to the content of the chat, avoid using verbs unless they are directly related to the content of the chat, no additional text or explanation, you don't need ending punctuation.\n\n我是一个基于规则的文本处理助手,主要用于执行用户指定的文本操作。根据您提供的文本,我将按照以下步骤运行:\n\n1. **解析文本**:识别并理解文本中的各个部分,如“季姬击鸡记”等。\n2. **执行操作**:根据文本内容,执行相应的操作,如击鸡、记录等。\n3. **输出结果**:将执行结果以清晰的方式呈现给用户。\n\n关于运行方式,我可以通过时序图展示以下步骤:\n\n\n\n如果您需要我以代码形式展示这些步骤,请告知,我将根据您的要求生成相应的代码。"
 7        }
 8    ],
 9    "options": {
10        "num_predict": 16,
11        "stop": [
12            "<|im_start|>",
13            "<|im_end|>"
14        ],
15        "num_ctx": 8192
16    },
17    "keep_alive": 1800
18}

这段看似莫名奇妙的内容,本质其实是Continue为我们这一次会话内容起了一个title,便于用户在多会话场景下的快速查找。

问答3及以后

这里我们直接看最后一次提问的请求体。

36    },
37    "think": false,
38    "keep_alive": 1800
39}

不难发现,这次请求的message包含的内容如下如下:

  1. system 角色的提示词;
  2. 会话中前文的user提问的内容;
  3. 会话中前文assistant的回答的内容;
  4. 本次用户提问的内容;

由此,我们就很容易发现,其实连续对话的实现原理如下:

  1. Continue首先在system prompt中定义好自己的角色;
  2. Continue插件从持久化存储中读取本次会话的历史消息;
  3. Continue插件将本次用户提问的内容拼接到会话历史;

最终将所有内容一次性灌给/api/chat接口,并得到assistant的回答。

至于/api/chat的底层,其实也只是把message拼装成一个完整的prompt,然后由LLM输出结果。

这种模式下:

  • 会话内容只存放在Continue这个Agent中;
  • LLM和Ollama只会看到最终聚合在一起的一个输入prompt,LLM只需要计算结果,由Ollama返回即可。

Plan模式

Plan模式是更高级的功能,它会先生成一个执行计划,然后逐步执行。

这种模式适用于需要多步骤完成的任务,比如重构整个文件或实现一个复杂功能。

这里我们使用一次问答来做一个测试,我提交的问题是:

1首先查一下今天的星座,然后百度查一下这个星座的意义并且整理成100字左右的概要提供给我。

最终的响应结果如下。

Plan模式交互结果

Plan模式抓包分析

我们先不考虑Continue的Plan结果是否满足我们的需求,仅看看Continue是如何实现Plan模式的,以及Continue与LLM之间的交互。

在上一个章节中,我们发现会话栏中,Continue做了两件事情:

  1. 执行了一行命令,尝试查看git记录
  2. 规划最终的结果

命令执行

这里我们发现Continue在请求体中,除了常规的定义了system角色、user角色的prompt,其还在tools字段中给LLM提供了一组只读tools。

响应体中,LLM返回了一个tool_calls字段,其中返回了请求体tools中的某些tool,每一个tool还提供了参数。

接着这一轮对话就结束了,这里看上去LLM并没有提供一个完整的答案,但是为什么我们能够在后续看到规划结果呢?我们接着分析第二次请求。

规划结果

请求内容如下:

 2    "model": "qwen3:1.7b-q4_K_M",
 3    "messages": [

11        },

14            "content": " "

19        },
20        {
21            "role": "tool",
22            "content": "The search returned no results."
23        }
24    ],
25    "options": {
26        "num_predict": 4096,
27        "stop": [
28            "<|im_start|>",
29            "<|im_end|>"
30        ],
31        "num_ctx": 8192
32    },
33    "think": false,
34    "keep_alive": 1800
35}

这次请求中,我们发现Continue追加了tools的响应结果之后重新发起了请求。

而接下来LLM也顺利响应了结果。

(这里其实有点奇怪,看上去Continue只会在第一次提问时提供tools,后续提问时,上下文中tools丢失了,这就直接造成我们在Continue中无法串行的执行多步tools。) 例如如果我的问题改成首先查一下今天的星座,然后百度查一下这个星座的意义并且整理成100字左右的概要提供给我。,Continue插件就没法先执行查询1,然后解析结果再执行tools2

Agent模式

Agent模式是最复杂的模式,它模拟了一个智能代理,可以自主地分析代码、执行编辑操作、测试结果并迭代改进。

这种模式适用于需要自主决策和执行的任务。

使用Agent模式,我在会话中增加了两个文件,用于让Continue进行读写。相关问答如下:

这里我们发现Continue在请求体和Plan模式都很相似,不同点在于:

  1. system提示词中,允许Continue执行写入操作;
  2. 同时tools列表中,提供了更多的写入tools;

其他并没有什么本至区别。

Agent模式时序图

Agent模式时序图

三种模式的差异分析

实现思路对比

模式核心思想适用场景复杂度交互方式
Chat简单问答代码解释、问题解答单次请求-响应
Plan任务分解复杂功能实现、重构多次请求-响应
Agent自主决策自动化编程、复杂问题解决循环决策-执行-验证

为什么需要不同的模式?

  1. Chat模式:适用于简单的问答场景,用户明确知道自己要问什么,模型直接给出答案。

  2. Plan模式:适用于复杂任务,需要先规划再执行,避免盲目操作。这种模式让用户可以看到执行计划,增加透明度和可控性。

  3. Agent模式:适用于需要自主分析和决策的场景,模拟了程序员解决问题的思路:分析-计划-执行-验证-迭代。

网络交互差异

从抓包结果可以看出,三种模式在与Ollama的交互上存在显著差异:

  1. 请求结构:Chat模式的请求相对简单,Plan和Agent模式的请求包含更多上下文信息
  2. 请求次数:Chat模式通常是1对1的请求响应,而Plan和Agent模式会发起多次请求
  3. 响应内容:Agent模式的响应通常包含更多元数据,用于指导下一步操作

实践案例:文件编辑测试

让我们通过一个具体的例子来测试这三种模式:

假设我们有一个简单的JavaScript函数需要重构:

1function calculateTotal(items) {
2  let total = 0;
3  for (let i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
4    total += items[i].price;
5  }
6  return total;
7}

Chat模式测试

在Chat模式下,我们直接询问"如何优化这个函数?",模型会给出建议,但不会直接修改代码。

Plan模式测试

在Plan模式下,我们请求"重构这个函数以提高性能",模型会先生成一个计划,然后给出每一步应该做的事情,指导我们完成重构。

Agent模式测试

在Agent模式下,我们请求"自动优化这个函数",Agent会分析代码、制定策略、执行修改并验证结果。

深入分析:Continue的实现机制

会话管理

Continue插件通过维护会话状态来实现多轮对话。每个会话包含:

  1. 对话历史记录
  2. 当前代码上下文
  3. 用户偏好设置

上下文构建

在每次请求前,Continue会构建包含以下信息的上下文:

  1. 当前编辑的文件内容
  2. 选中的代码片段
  3. 相关文件的引用
  4. 之前的对话历史

模型选择策略

Continue根据任务类型自动选择合适的模型:

  1. 简单补全使用轻量级模型
  2. 复杂推理使用大模型
  3. 代码理解使用专门的代码模型

结语

通过深入分析Continue插件的三种模式,我们了解了现代AI编程助手的实现机制:

  • Chat模式提供基础的问答能力;
  • Plan模式实现任务分解和有序执行;
  • Agent模式则实现了更高级的自主决策能力。

通过Wireshark抓包分析,我们能够清晰地看到这三种模式在与LLM交互时的差异,这有助于我们更好地理解AI助手的工作原理,并在实际开发中更有效地利用这些工具。

在下一篇文章中,我们将进一步探讨Agent的不同实现范式,以及如何开发自己的AI编程助手。
