ellipsis

Ellipsis lets engineering teams configure coding agents in YAML and run them in managed cloud sessions. Teams can automate repository tasks, code review checks, and scheduled or event-triggered workflows.

Who it's for

  • Engineering teams that want scheduled or event-triggered agents to handle recurring repository tasks such as dependency updates.
  • Developers building custom coding-agent workflows who need to configure repositories, hooks, compute, and budgets in YAML.
  • Teams that want agents to run against GitHub repositories and pull requests through managed cloud sessions.

How it fits your workflow

Define an agent in YAML with its prompt, repository access, trigger, environment, hooks, compute, and budget. The page shows examples for scheduled jobs and pull-request events.

Deploy with a merge, then invoke the agent through an API call, schedule, or event. Interactive sessions run in an isolated cloud environment with repositories, dependencies, and tools ready.

Review agent output and activity through downloadable raw process logs and the audit trail; configure how long session data is retained.

Key features

YAML-configured agents
Define an agent's repositories, prompts, triggers, environment, setup hooks, compute, and budget in YAML.
Multiple triggers and invocation methods
Run agents through API calls, schedules, or events; the page shows cron and pull-request trigger examples.
Managed interactive sessions
Start cloud sessions with repositories, dependencies, and tools in an isolated environment described as feeling like a local session.
Model and harness selection
Switch between supported coding harnesses and models by changing configuration, without rebuilding the agent.
Agent logs and retention controls
Download raw output from agent processes, retain logs after the sandbox ends, and choose session-data retention from zero hours to one year.
Governance controls
Configure permissions before a session starts, use credentials scoped to allowed repositories, and review an audit trail of agent commands, file changes, and tool calls.
