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.

The name "ellama" is derived from "Emacs Large LAnguage Model
Assistant". Previous sentence was written by Ellama itself.

1 Installation
══════════════

  Just `M-x' `package-install' Enter `ellama' Enter. By default it uses
  [ollama] provider. If you ok with it, you need to install [ollama] and
  pull [any ollama model] like this:

  ┌────
  │ ollama pull qwen2.5:3b
  └────

  You can use `ellama' with other model or other llm provider.  Without
  any configuration, the first available ollama model will be used.  You
  can customize ellama configuration like this:

  ┌────
  │ (use-package ellama
  │   :ensure t
  │   :bind ("C-c e" . ellama)
  │   ;; send last message in chat buffer with C-c C-c
  │   :hook (org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c-final . ellama-chat-send-last-message)
  │   :init (setopt ellama-auto-scroll t)
  │   :config
  │   ;; show ellama context in header line in all buffers
  │   (ellama-context-header-line-global-mode +1)
  │   ;; show ellama session id in header line in all buffers
  │   (ellama-session-header-line-global-mode +1))
  └────

  More sofisticated configuration example:

  ┌────
  │ (use-package ellama
  │   :ensure t
  │   :bind ("C-c e" . ellama)
  │   ;; send last message in chat buffer with C-c C-c

3 Keymap
════════

  It's better to use a transient menu (`M-x ellama') instead of a
  keymap. It offers a better user experience.

  In any buffer where there is active ellama streaming, you can press
  `C-g' and it will cancel current stream.

  Here is a table of keybindings and their associated functions in
  Ellama, using the `ellama-keymap-prefix' prefix (not set by default):

5 Context Management
════════════════════

  Ellama allows you to provide context to the Large Language Model (LLM)
  to improve the relevance and quality of responses. Context serves as
  background information, data, or instructions that guide the LLM's
  understanding of your prompt. Without context, the LLM relies solely
  on its pre-existing knowledge, which may not always be appropriate.

  A “global context” is maintained, which is a collection of text blocks
  accessible to the LLM when responding to prompts. This global context
  is prepended to your prompt before transmission to the
  LLM. Additionally, Ellama supports an "ephemeral context," which is
  temporary and only available for a single request.


5.1 Transient Menus for Context Management
──────────────────────────────────────────

  Ellama provides a transient menu accessible through the main menu,
  offering a streamlined way to manage context elements. This menu is
  accessed via the “System” branch of the main transient menu, and then
  selecting "Context Commands."

  The Context Commands transient menu is structured as follows:

  Context Commands:

  • Options: Provides options for managing ephemeral context.
    • “-e” "Use Ephemeral Context" `--ephemeral'
  • Add: Provides options for adding content to the global or ephemeral
    context.
    • “b” "Add Buffer" `ellama-transient-add-buffer'
    • “d” "Add Directory" `ellama-transient-add-directory'
    • “f” "Add File" `ellama-transient-add-file'
    • “s” "Add Selection" `ellama-transient-add-selection'
    • “i” "Add Info Node" `ellama-transient-add-info-node'
  • Manage: Provides options for managing the global context.
    • “m” "Manage context" `ellama-context-manage' - Opens the context
      management buffer.
    • “D” "Delete element" `ellama-context-element-remove-by-name' -
      Deletes an element by name.
    • “r” "Context reset" `ellama-context-reset' - Clears the entire
      global context.
  • Quit: (“q” "Quit" `transient-quit-one') - Closes the context
    commands transient menu.


5.2 Managing the Context
────────────────────────

  `ellama-context-manage' opens a dedicated buffer, the context
  management buffer, where you can view, modify, and organize the global
  context. Within this buffer:

  ⁃ `n': Move to the next context element.
  ⁃ `p': Move to the previous context element.
  ⁃ `q': Quit the context management buffer.
  ⁃ `g': Refresh the contents of the context management buffer.
  ⁃ `a': Add a new context element (similar to
    `ellama-context-add-selection').
  ⁃ `RET': Preview the content of the context element at the current
    point.


5.3 Considerations
──────────────────

  Large Language Models possess limited context window sizes,
  restricting the total amount of text they can process. Be mindful of
  the size of your context to avoid truncation or performance
  degradation. Irrelevant context can dilute the information and hinder

6 Minor modes
═════════════

  The Ellama package for Emacs offers a suite of minor modes designed to
  enhance the user experience by providing context-specific information
  directly within the editor's interface. These minor modes focus on
  updating both the header line and mode line with relevant details,
  making it easier to manage and navigate multiple sessions and buffers.

  Key features include:

  • Context Header Line Modes: `ellama-context-header-line-mode' and its
    global counterpart, `ellama-context-header-line-global-mode', update
    the header line to display what elements are added to the global
    Ellama context. This is particularly useful for keeping track of
    what information is currently in context.
  • Context Mode Line Modes: Similarly, `ellama-context-mode-line-mode'
    and `ellama-context-mode-line-global-mode' provide information about
    the current global context directly within the mode line, ensuring
    that users always have relevant information at a glance.
  • Session Header Line Mode: `ellama-session-header-line-mode' and its
    global version display the current Ellama session ID in the header
    line, helping users manage multiple sessions efficiently.
  • Session Mode Line Mode: `ellama-session-mode-line-mode' and its
    global counterpart offer an additional way to track session IDs by
    displaying them in the mode line.

  These minor modes are easily toggled on or off using specific
  commands, providing flexibility for users who may want to enable these
  features globally across all buffers or selectively within individual
  buffers.


6.1 ellama-context-header-line-mode
───────────────────────────────────

  Description: Toggle the Ellama Context header line mode. This minor
  mode updates the header line to display context-specific information.

  Usage: To enable or disable `ellama-context-header-line-mode', use the
  command:

  M-x ellama-context-header-line-mode

  When enabled, this mode adds a hook to `window-state-change-hook' to
  update the header line whenever the window state changes. It also
  calls `ellama-context-update-header-line' to initialize the header
  line with context-specific information.

  When disabled, it removes the evaluation of `(:eval
  (ellama-context-line))' from `header-line-format'.


6.2 ellama-context-header-line-global-mode
──────────────────────────────────────────

  Description: Globalized version of
  `ellama-context-header-line-mode'. This mode ensures that
  `ellama-context-header-line-mode' is enabled in all buffers.

  Usage: To enable or disable `ellama-context-header-line-global-mode',
  use the command:

  M-x ellama-context-header-line-global-mode

  This globalized minor mode provides a convenient way to ensure that
  context-specific header line information is always available,
  regardless of the buffer being edited.


6.3 ellama-context-mode-line-mode
─────────────────────────────────

  Description: Toggle the Ellama Context mode line mode. This minor mode
  updates the mode line to display context-specific information.

  Usage: To enable or disable `ellama-context-mode-line-mode', use the
  command:

  M-x ellama-context-mode-line-mode

  When enabled, this mode adds a hook to `window-state-change-hook' to
  update the mode line whenever the window state changes. It also calls
  `ellama-context-update-mode-line' to initialize the mode line with
  context-specific information.

  When disabled, it removes the evaluation of `(:eval
  (ellama-context-line))' from `mode-line-format'.


6.4 ellama-context-mode-line-global-mode
────────────────────────────────────────

  Description: Globalized version of
  `ellama-context-mode-line-mode'. This mode ensures that
  `ellama-context-mode-line-mode' is enabled in all buffers.

  Usage: To enable or disable `ellama-context-mode-line-global-mode',
  use the command:

  M-x ellama-context-mode-line-global-mode

  This globalized minor mode provides a convenient way to ensure that
  context-specific mode line information is always available, regardless
  of the buffer being edited.


6.5 Ellama Session Header Line Mode
───────────────────────────────────

  The `ellama-session-header-line-mode' is a minor mode that allows you
  to display the current Ellama session ID in the header line of your
  Emacs buffers. This feature helps keep track of which session you are
  working with, especially useful when managing multiple sessions.

7 Using Blueprints
══════════════════

  Blueprints in Ellama refer to predefined templates or structures that
  facilitate the creation and management of chat sessions. These
  blueprints are designed to streamline the process of generating
  consistent and high-quality outputs by providing a structured
  framework for interactions.


7.1 Key Components of Ellama Blueprints
───────────────────────────────────────

  1. Act: This is the primary identifier for a blueprint, representing
     the
  action or purpose of the blueprint.
  1. Prompt: The content that will be used to initiate the chat
     session. This
  can include instructions, context, or any other relevant information
  needed to guide the conversation.
  1. For Developers: A flag indicating whether the blueprint is intended
     for
  developers.


7.2 Creating and Managing Blueprints
────────────────────────────────────

  Ellama provides several functions to create, select, and manage
  blueprints:

  • `ellama-blueprint-create': This function allows users to create a
    new blueprint from the current buffer. It prompts for a name and
    whether the blueprint is for developers, then saves the content of
    the current buffer as the prompt.

  • `ellama-blueprint-new': This function creates a new buffer for a
    blueprint, optionally inserting the content of the current region if
    active.

  • `ellama-blueprint-select': This function allows users to select a
    prompt from the collection of blueprints. It filters prompts based
    on whether they are for developers and their source (user-defined,
    community, or all).


7.3 Variable Management
───────────────────────

  Blueprints can include variables that need to be filled before running
  the chat session. Ellama provides command to fill these variables:

  • `ellama-blueprint-fill-variables': Prompts the user to enter values
    for variables found in the current buffer and fills them.


7.4 Keymap and Mode
───────────────────

  Ellama provides a local keymap `ellama-blueprint-mode-map' for
  managing blueprints within buffers. The mode includes key bindings for
  sending the buffer to a new chat session, killing the current buffer,
  creating a new blueprint, and filling variables.

  The `ellama-blueprint-mode' is a derived mode from `text-mode',
  providing syntax highlighting for variables in curly braces and
  setting up the local keymap.

  When in `ellama-blueprint-mode', the following keybindings are
  available:

  • `C-c C-c': Send current buffer to a new chat session and kill the
    current buffer.
  • `C-c C-k': Kill the current buffer.
  • `C-c c': Create a blueprint from the current buffer.
  • `C-c v': Fill variables in the current blueprint.


7.5 Transient Menus
───────────────────

  Ellama includes transient menus for easy access to blueprint
  commands. The `ellama-transient-blueprint-menu' provides options for
  chatting with a selected blueprint, creating a new blueprint, and
  quitting the menu.

  The `ellama-transient-main-menu' integrates the blueprint menu into
  the main menu, providing a comprehensive interface for all Ellama
  commands.


7.6 Running Blueprints programmatically
───────────────────────────────────────

  The `ellama-blueprint-run' function initiates a chat session using a
  specified blueprint. It pre-fills variables based on the provided
  arguments.

  ┌────
  │ (defun my-chat-with-morpheus ()
  │   "Start chat with Morpheus."
  │   (interactive)
  │   (ellama-blueprint-run "Character" '(:character "Morpheus" :series "Matrix")))
  │ 
  │ (global-set-key (kbd "C-c e M") #'my-chat-with-morpheus)
  └────
