Quickstart

Three commands to a running agent. The agent runs in the Ellipsis cloud, not on your machine.

1. Install the CLI

The Ellipsis CLI is a single binary named agent:

brew install ellipsis-dev/cli/agent

2. Log in

agent login runs a device-code flow: it opens a verification URL in your browser and stores a user token under ~/.config/ellipsis/config.json.

agent login

3. Run the welcome agent

agent run start --template welcome-to-ellipsis --watch

--watch streams the run's steps to your terminal. The welcome agent reads your account's recent GitHub activity with the GitHub tools, then replies with a two-part summary: what your team has been working on, and how agent configs work. A condensed result looks like:

Your team merged 14 pull requests in the last two weeks, mostly in
splitshift-api: the shift-trade engine got idempotent retries, and
schedule conflict detection moved server-side.

An Ellipsis agent is a small YAML file: an ellipsis: block names it,
triggers say when it runs, and limits cap what it can spend. Commit
one to your repository and Ellipsis keeps it in sync. Try
`agent config init --template <name>` or the dashboard to create
your first one.

Prefer the browser? app.ellipsis.dev walks you through the same first run.
