Ellipsis

什麼是 Ellipsis？

Ellipsis is a platform for deploying AI software engineers as managed Claude Code agents. Teams define agents in YAML files in their repositories, then let Ellipsis run them to review pull requests, build features, investigate production issues, and carry out other coding tasks.

The product combines cloud execution, permissions, budgets, observability, and tracing in one control plane. Agents run in isolated sandboxes, can be limited to specific repos and branches, and leave an auditable record of what they did and how much they cost.

Ellipsis 能做什麼？

Agent config as code

Define agents in YAML with fields for prompt, model, triggers, tools, and spend caps, then store that config in the repo and version it like code.

Multiple run triggers

Start runs from schedules, GitHub or Linear events, @mentions, the CLI, or the REST API so agents can fit into existing developer workflows.

Managed cloud sandboxes

Run each agent in an isolated sandbox, with the cloud control plane handling permissions, status, and run bookkeeping.

Permissions and budget controls

Set per-agent allow-lists for tools and MCP servers, scope agents to specific repositories and branches, and apply run, daily, and monthly spending caps.

Observability and tracing

See run history, statuses, costs, outputs, thinking, tools used, tests run, and shipped diffs for auditing and debugging.

Usage-based billing

Use pricing based on tokens, CPU, memory, and a platform fee, with a free monthly usage allowance and no per-seat or idle charges.

使用情境

“Automated PR review”

Create agents that review pull requests against team conventions and leave inline comments before code merges.

“Issue triage and debugging”

Build agents that inspect alerts or failing tests, trace likely causes, and open a fix plan or pull request.

“Recurring team operations”

Use scheduled agents to post standup digests, summarize activity, or keep documentation and routine workflows up to date.

“Small feature implementation”

Deploy feature-building agents that edit code in a sandbox, run tests, and open a PR for the result.

“Governed team rollout”

Manage org-wide agent usage with repo and branch scoping, spend limits, and visibility into active runs and costs.

What can trigger an Ellipsis run?

The source shows runs can start on a schedule, on GitHub or Linear events, or by mentioning @ellipsis. The docs also reference a REST API and CLI for starting runs.

What kinds of tasks does Ellipsis handle?

Ellipsis can post PR review comments, build or update code in a sandbox, investigate issues such as flaky tests or production alerts, and open pull requests with the result.

How does Ellipsis pricing work?

The pricing page says every account gets $10 of free usage each month, and public GitHub repositories are free. It also says there are no per-seat fees or idle charges.

How does Ellipsis handle security and permissions?
