Global flags - Continuous

All flags below apply to every command. Three of them also read an environment variable or a key in ~/.config/continuous/config.yaml; Authentication gives the order in which those sources win.

Authentication

Flag	Environment	Config key	What it does
`--api-key-auth <key>`	`CONTINUOUS_API_KEY_AUTH`	`security.api_key_auth`	API key sent as a Bearer token. See Authentication.

Output

Flag	Environment	Config key	What it does
`-o, --output-format <format>`	`CONTINUOUS_OUTPUT_FORMAT`	`output_format`	`pretty`, `json`, `yaml`, `table`, or `toon`. See Output.
`-q, --jq <expression>`			Filter the response with a jq expression. See Filter with jq.
`--include-headers`			Add the HTTP response headers to the output. See Include response headers.
`--color <mode>`			`auto`, `always`, or `never`. See Color.
`--no-interactive`			Never prompt, open the explorer, or show forms. See Turn off prompts.

Server and network

Flag	Environment	Config key	What it does
`--server-url <url>`			Send requests to another base URL instead of `https://api.continuouslabs.ai`.
`--server <index>`			Pick a server from the contract’s server list. The list has one entry, so only `0` is valid.
`-H, --header "Key: Value"`			Add a request header. Repeat the flag for more headers.
`--timeout <duration>`	`CONTINUOUS_TIMEOUT`	`timeout`	Request timeout as a Go duration, for example `30s` or `5m`.

Diagnostics

Flag	What it does
`--dry-run`	Print the request to stderr and skip the network call. See Preview a request.
`-d, --debug`	Log request and response details to stderr. Ignored when `--dry-run` is set.
`--usage`	Print the command’s usage schema in KDL and exit.
`--agent-mode`	Toggle agent mode. See Known issues before you rely on it.

-h, --help prints help for any command. Scripting describes agent mode and how the CLI detects it.
