What

Updates the customer-facing skills/ellipsis/SKILL.md (the skill npx skills add ellipsis-dev/cli installs) for people and coding agents exploring the CLI:

  • New "Getting started with Ellipsis" section: a 6-step onboarding flow a coding agent can execute end to end — install/login, run the welcome-to-ellipsis template, deploy from a template (agent template list, agent config create --template code-reviewer --repo api, plus the agent-config-builder template that drafts other agents), store variables (agent sandbox variable set), prove the sandbox image with agent sandbox build start --watch (tools, CLIs, and with --hooks the lifecycle hooks) before anything deploys, then test a session and deploy as a PR.
  • Migration framing: the CLI intro now states that migrating a team onto Ellipsis is itself delegable to an agent, since variables, configs, image builds, and deploys are all commands.
  • agent sandbox build mentioned in Core concepts and the author/inspect command block; docs list links the new /docs/guides/cli-setup guide.
  • Fixes a template slug that doesn't exist: ci-failure-triagercode-reviewer (verified against the shipped templates).

Do not merge yet

References agent sandbox build, which is implemented on the sandbox-builds branch but not released, and links /docs/guides/cli-setup, which ships with ellipsis-dev/ellipsis#5891. Merge with or after the sandbox-builds release.

…ble end to end

A dedicated 6-step Getting started with Ellipsis section: login, welcome
template, templates via agent template list / config create --template,
sandbox variable set, sandbox build start --watch to prove the image, then
test + deploy as a PR. Frames the point explicitly: the CLI surface is
complete enough that migrating a team onto Ellipsis is itself delegable to a
coding agent.

Also mentions agent sandbox build in Core concepts and the author/inspect
block, links the new cli-setup docs guide, and fixes a nonexistent template
slug (ci-failure-triager -> code-reviewer).
