Ellaworks Control Plane (ECP) Introduction
Ellaworks Control Plane (ECP) brings governance & discipline to AI prompt development & management, the same way Cargo, PNPM and Terraform transformed code & infrastructure.
What is ECP?
ECP provides a complete lifecycle management for deploying and managing AI prompts at scale. Instead of copying and pasting prompts across projects, ECP lets you treat prompts as versioned, composable artifacts with strict validation and one-command deployment.
Core Concepts
Prompt Registries
Registries are collections of versioned prompt artifacts scoped to an organization. Registries can be public (accessible without authentication) or private (restricted to organization members and API keys).
Agents
Agents are deployable AI configurations that combine prompts with provider settings, tool references, and environment-specific configuration. Agents can be deployed to multiple environments and provider runtimes.
Environments
Environments (e.g. dev, test, prod) let you manage provider credentials and configuration separately from your prompt logic. Each environment can have its own secrets and provider settings.
Tools
Tools are reusable function definitions that agents can invoke. Define a tool once and reference it across multiple agents and prompts.
