Paseo Continuity

Provider failover for Paseo. When an agent stops because its provider has exhausted quota or hit a rate limit, Continuity creates a fresh agent on the next configured provider and gives it a bounded copy of the conversation so work can continue without asking the failed provider to produce a handoff.

Each transition stays in the same workspace. The successor gets a provider-prefixed title such as ● Codex · Fix authentication, chain labels for discovery, and a prompt containing the relevant timeline. The old chat gets a transition card, while the Continuity chain workspace panel links the related chats.

Install

Requires Paseo 0.10.1 or later. Enable plugins under Settings → Plugins, then:

paseo plugin install npm:paseo-continuity
# or from GitHub
paseo plugin install github:keefeere/paseo-continuity

Plugins are trusted, unsandboxed code. Continuity runs in the Paseo daemon and can read agent timelines and create agents in their workspaces.

Configure

Open Settings → Plugins → Paseo Continuity. The fallback chain accepts one provider per entry, optionally with a model and mode:

codex:auto
claude:auto
gemini:auto

The safe defaults react only to quota and rate-limit failures, bound transferred context, redact common secrets, skip unavailable providers, prevent duplicate successors, and stop after the configured number of consecutive transitions.

Use /continuity or the Command Center action to test or trigger a transition manually.

How it works

• Watches completed turns in the daemon, independent of the failed provider.
• Classifies quota and rate-limit errors conservatively.
• Serializes a bounded projected timeline and redacts common credential patterns.
• Selects the next ready provider from the configured chain.
• Creates and starts a successor in the same workspace with chain metadata.
• Adds a transition card to the previous chat and exposes the chain in a workspace panel.

Automatic transitions require a fallback provider that is configured and ready in Paseo. A transition creates a new agent/chat because the current public plugin API cannot replace the provider of an existing agent.
