Ellama is a tool for interacting with large language models from
Emacs. It allows you to ask questions and receive responses from the
LLMs. Ellama can perform various tasks such as translation, code review,
summarization, enhancing grammar/spelling or wording and more through
the Emacs interface. Ellama natively supports streaming output, making
it effortless to use with your preferred text editor.
## Recent NEWS:
1 Version 1.24.1
════════════════
• Added literal string matching support to `ellama-tools-grep-tool'
and `ellama-tools-grep-in-file-tool' using `-F' (fixed-strings) and
`-e' flags, treating the search string literally rather than as a
regular expression. Added helper function
`ellama-tools--grep-search-args' and corresponding unit tests.
• Fixed `srt' command quoting for shell execution. Added
`ellama-tools--shell-quote-command' helper and updated
`ellama-tools--command-argv' to properly construct shell command
strings when using `srt' sandbox. Commands are now wrapped with `srt
-c' using `shell-quote-argument' to safely handle special characters
in arguments.
2 Version 1.24.0
════════════════
• Added plan-and-act agent loop for multi-agent code generation
workflows.
• Added plan-and-act agent to transient menu for easy access.
• Added support for resuming plan-and-act after interruption.
• Formatted plan-and-act tool arguments for better reliability.
• Fixed plan-and-act test root path for correct test execution.
• Documented plan-and-act agent loop functionality.
3 Version 1.23.0
════════════════
• Add optional `timeout' support to `shell_command' with a default of
five seconds. Long-running async shell commands are terminated when
the timeout expires and return a timeout message with any collected
output.
• Add optional `timeout' support to `grep' with the same five-second
default. Directory searches now use timeout-aware command execution
and return a clear diagnostic when grep exceeds the configured
limit.
• Add optional `timeout' support to `directory_tree' with the same
five-second default. Recursive directory traversal now stops when
the timeout expires and returns a clear diagnostic with the partial
tree collected so far.
• Strengthen project git hook templates for local Elisp
validation. Staged Elisp changes now run `make checkdocs' before
commit, while pushed Elisp changes run `make check-elisp' and block
the push if formatting changes files.
4 Version 1.22.1
════════════════
• Remove experimental hypothesis profiles (numbered-read, line-edit,
numbered-line-edit) and their associated tools including
`edit_lines', `ellama-eval-edit-lines-tool',
`ellama-eval-monitored-edit-lines-tool',
`ellama-eval-numbered-read-file-tool', and
`ellama-eval-numbered-lines-range-tool'. Delete corresponding helper
functions: `ellama-eval--line-edit-candidate',
`ellama-eval--number-text-lines',
`ellama-eval--replace-profile-read-specs', and profile classifiers
`ellama-eval--profile-numbered-read-p',
`ellama-eval--profile-line-edit-p',
`ellama-eval--profile-balanced-edit-p'. Net change: -208 lines.
• Unify `ellama-eval--profile-tool-names' to unconditionally append
`edit_file' to the base tool list for all profiles (baseline and
balanced-edit), removing profile-specific matching logic.
• Restore profile validation in `ellama-eval--profile-tool-names' to
properly reject unknown or misspelled profile names with an error,
fixing the unused lexical argument warning reported by CI.
• Add policy forbidding direct integration into `main' branch; require
feature branches and pull requests instead of direct pushes.
• Force `cat' pager for shell commands and shared command helpers,
adding tests to verify pager environment across all shell execution
paths.
5 Version 1.22.0
════════════════
• Added read-before-write safety for mutating tools. Session-local
read tracking now requires that existing files be read before being
overwritten; the first overwrite attempt of an existing file is
refused with instructions to read the file first, and the second
attempt is allowed for deliberate overwrites. This applies to
`write-file', `append-to-file', `prepend-to-file', `move-file', and
`edit-file' tools. Also enhances output truncation messages with
concrete next tool call suggestions including specific line ranges
via `lines_range'.
• Added git hooks to prevent commits and pushes to the `main'
branch. Created pre-commit and pre-push hooks that block operations
when on `main', providing
