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 1.25.0
════════════════
• Add loop detection to `ellama-eval' harness that identifies
repetitive tool call patterns indicating agents are stuck in
evaluation loops. The harness returns recovery guidance on the first
repeated identical tool call sequence, and falls back to hard loop
detection for repeated loops after recovery. Configurable
defcustoms control the behavior:
`ellama-eval-loop-detection-enabled' (default: t),
`ellama-eval-loop-detection-repeated-threshold' (default: 2), and
`ellama-eval-loop-detection-max-traces' (default: 50).
• Move loop recovery into task subagents by wrapping role tools with
session-local repeated-call detection. Repeated identical tool calls
return recovery guidance at the configured threshold and complete
the subtask if the same consecutive chain continues. Document the
new subagent loop-detection settings in README.org.
• Extend evaluation cancellation with request context tracking. Store
the active request context on the session for streaming,
continuation, and compaction requests so that eval timeout
cancellation can target the correct context directly. Cancel active
eval worker requests when a run finishes with a non-completed
status, and register asynchronous session compaction requests in the
active request context so user cancellation and eval timeout stop
the compact request itself.
• Harden evaluation async buffer handling by scheduling timers from a
stable internal buffer so callbacks do not inherit transient
subagent buffers. Guard interactive summary rendering against stale
target-window errors and fall back to display-buffer.
• Render evaluation progress and final summaries into the selected
window for interactive runs, keeping the existing display-buffer
behavior as a fallback for noninteractive or stale-window calls.
• Preserve triggering tool calls in public traces and final
loop-detection results when loop detection triggers, and record
recovery metadata in tool traces so recovered passing runs remain
visible. Avoid false loop detection on later repeated reads by
treating the repeated-call threshold as the recovery point for the
current consecutive chain.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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
