   This query at algebrad (aka vectoid) mentions Wolff

   Todd: “Commutes with colimits” must really mean: $F: A^{op} \to Set$ takes colimits in $A$ to limits in $Set$, and the axiom is that such continuous functors are representable. This reminds me of notions of totality in category theory.

   Mike Shulman: Yes, that exact condition has been studied by category theorists under the name of a “compact” category. That’s a terrible name, of course, so even the odd-sounding (to me) “vectoid” is better. I think the original reference is Isbell’s paper Small subcategories and completeness, and one later one is Compact and hypercomplete categories by Börger, Tholen, Wischnewsky, and Wolff. The property is implied by totality (= the Yoneda embedding has a left adjoint), and implies hypercompleteness (= admits every limit which it could conceivably admit, subject to local smallness).
