Tag Workflows

Tag Workflows are created when you tag Ellipsis in Slack, Github, or Linear. Since Ellipsis is agentic, it’ll think on it’s own and take actions to complete the task you tagged it for.

Ask Ellipsis to take actions in Github, Slack, and Linear

There is no autocomplete on Github when tagging Ellipsis. Type @ellipsis or @ellipsis-dev.
