Elpis v0.3.0

Elpis is a terminal environment for coding agents. The agent runs the model loop;
Elpis owns context, memory, continuity, retrieval, permissions, and provider choice.

Install

Linux x86_64. The installer checks the downloaded binary against its SHA-256
sidecar; review the script before running it.

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MasihMoafi/Elpis/v0.3.0/scripts/install-elpis.sh | bash && ~/.local/bin/elpis

Already running Elpis? Use elpis --update.

What changed since v0.2.0

  • Pick a provider without editing a config file. /model now has a provider step, so reaching Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter, Bedrock, Ollama or LM Studio no longer means hand-editing config.toml. Paste an API key in the terminal or the dashboard; the key is masked as you type. The same seven providers shipped in v0.2.0 — what is new is getting to them from inside Elpis.
  • Model lists come from the provider. Each picker asks the provider what it serves, with the context window and price the provider reports, instead of reading a table written into Elpis.
  • Thinking effort beyond OpenAI. Any provider that accepts a reasoning level offers one, so a DeepSeek or OpenRouter model can be set to think longer.
  • Memory and pruning are separate jobs. /memory-model and /pruner-model choose them independently, and background work no longer borrows the model you are talking to.
  • Continuity saving got out of the way. A turn ends when the model stops speaking rather than when maintenance finishes, so the next message is a message and not an interruption. Saves that overlap each other settle quietly instead of warning.
  • The Context Ledger turns subagents off. Press s to stop the model delegating, alongside Smart Prune. Escape closes the ledger, and the row under the cursor is the only row marked.
  • Escape steps back one page, not out of the screen. In the model catalog, the provider list, the API key prompt and both /skills pages, Escape returns to the page you came from; each used to close the whole screen. A provider whose catalog is fetched live, such as OpenRouter, also lists its models directly instead of offering a single row to open.
  • /usage draws the token activity chart again, with daily, weekly, and cumulative views.
  • /yolo sticks. Full Access survives into the next session.
  • New commands: /ide, /yolo, /memory-model, /pruner-model.
  • Long conversations stay responsive. Typing and queueing keep up in a long chat, and the context count holds its last provider-reported figure instead of jumping to an estimate the moment you press Enter.
  • The composer holds still while a turn runs. It no longer repaints itself, which is what native drag-selection needs. The identity and status names still animate.
  • A backslash before Enter starts a new line instead of sending.
  • Updating updates Elpis. The update notice and the startup prompt both run elpis --update, which replaces the installed binary with the latest Elpis release. The prompt previously carried package-manager commands inherited from upstream, which would have installed a different product.

Subagent work in this release is repair, not new capability: another window's threads are no longer counted as this window's subagents, a subagent's message interrupts the parent turn again, the footer names the agent you are on instead of a stale count, and spawn/resume rolls back when durable state cannot be saved. The work-graph engine itself is unchanged.

Known limits

  • Linux x86_64 only. The installer refuses macOS with an explanation rather than fetching a binary that does not exist; Windows remains out of scope.
  • Escape with messages queued still interrupts the turn rather than delivering them.
  • /context does not close on Escape.
  • Exit is not yet immediate.
  • Continuity saving on a third-party provider is proven against a protocol fixture, not yet against a live provider on a slow route.
  • Smart Prune remains experimental and off by default. This release makes no new quality, latency, or cost claim.

Verify each download with its matching .sha256 asset. Full docs are in the README.
