From an Anthropic hackathon winner. Not just configs. A complete system: skills, instincts, memory optimization, continuous learning, security scanning, and research-first development. Production-ready agents, skills, hooks, rules, MCP configurations, and legacy command shims evolved over 10+ months of intensive daily use building real products. Works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, and other AI agent harnesses. ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 adds the public Hermes operator story on top of that reusable layer: start with the Hermes setup guide, then review the rc.1 release notes and cross-harness architecture. — ## The Guides This repo is the raw code only. The guides explain everything. Shorthand GuideSetup, foundations, philosophy. Read this first. Longform GuideToken optimization, memory persistence, evals, parallelization. Security GuideAttack vectors, sandboxing, sanitization, CVEs, AgentShield. | Topic | What You’ll Learn | |—––|—————––| | Token Optimization | Model selection, system prompt slimming, background processes | | Memory Persistence | Hooks that save/load context across sessions automatically | | Continuous Learning | Auto-extract patterns from sessions into reusable skills | | Verification Loops | Checkpoint vs continuous evals, grader types, pass@k metrics | | Parallelization | Git worktrees, cascade method, when to scale instances | | Subagent Orchestration | The context problem, iterative retrieval pattern | — ## What’s New ### v2.0.0-rc.1 — Surface Refresh, Operator Workflows, and ECC 2.0 Alpha (Apr 2026) - Dashboard GUI — New Tkinter-based desktop application (ecc_dashboard.py or npm run dashboard) with dark/light theme toggle, font customization, and project logo in header and taskbar. - Public surface synced to the live repo — metadata, catalog counts, plugin manifests, and install-facing docs now match the actual OSS surface: 48 agents, 182 skills, and 68 legacy command shims. - Operator and outbound workflow expansionbrand-voice, social-graph-ranker, connections-optimizer, customer-billing-ops, ecc-tools-cost-audit, google-workspace-ops, project-flow-ops, and workspace-surface-audit round out the operator lane. - Media and launch toolingmanim-video, remotion-video-creation, and upgraded social publishing surfaces make technical explainers and launch content part of the same system. - Framework and product surface growthnestjs-patterns, richer Codex/OpenCode install surfaces, and expanded cross-harness packaging keep the repo usable beyond Claude Code alone. - ECC 2.0 alpha is in-tree — the Rust control-plane prototype in ecc2/ now builds locally and exposes dashboard, start, sessions, status, stop, resume, and daemon commands. It is usable as an alpha, not yet a general release. - Ecosystem hardening — AgentShield, ECC Tools cost controls, billing portal work, and website refreshes continue to ship around the core plugin instead of drifting into separate silos. ### v1.9.0 — Selective Install & Language Expansion (Mar 2026) - Selective install architecture — Manifest-driven install pipeline with install-plan.js and install-apply.js for targeted component installation.

The most common broken setup is: /plugin install first, then install.sh --profile full or npx ecc-install --profile full afterward. If you already layered multiple installs and things look duplicated, skip straight to Reset / Uninstall ECC. ### Low-context / no-hooks path If hooks feel too global or you only want ECC’s rules, agents, commands, and core workflow skills, skip the plugin and use the minimal manual profile: bash ./install.sh --profile minimal --target claude powershell .\install.ps1 --profile minimal --target claude # or npx ecc-install --profile minimal --target claude This profile intentionally excludes hooks-runtime. If you want the normal core profile but need hooks off, use: bash ./install.sh --profile core --without baseline:hooks --target claude Add hooks later only if you want runtime enforcement: bash ./install.sh --target claude --modules hooks-runtime ### Find the right components first If you are not sure which ECC profile or component to install, ask the packaged advisor from any project: bash npx ecc consult "security reviews" --target claude It returns matching components, related profiles, and preview/install commands. Use the preview command before installing if you want to inspect the exact file plan. ### Step 1: Install the Plugin (Recommended) > NOTE: The plugin is convenient, but the OSS installer below is still the most reliable path if your Claude Code build has trouble resolving self-hosted marketplace entries. bash # Add marketplace /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code # Install plugin /plugin install everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code ### Naming + Migration Note ECC now has three public identifiers, and they are not interchangeable: - GitHub source repo: affaan-m/everything-claude-code - Claude marketplace/plugin identifier: everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code - npm package: ecc-universal This is intentional. Anthropic marketplace/plugin installs are keyed by a canonical plugin identifier, so ECC standardized on everything-claude-code@everything-claude-code to keep the listing name, /plugin install, /plugin list, and repo docs aligned to one public install surface. Older posts may still show the old short-form nickname; that shorthand is deprecated. Separately, the npm package stayed on ecc-universal, so npm installs and marketplace installs intentionally use different names. ### Step 2: Install Rules (Required) > WARNING: Important: Claude Code plugins cannot distribute rules automatically. > > If you already installed ECC via /plugin install, do not run ./install.sh --profile full, .\install.ps1 --profile full, or npx ecc-install --profile full afterward. The plugin already loads ECC skills, commands, and hooks. Running the full installer after a plugin install copies those same surfaces into your user directories and can create duplicate skills plus duplicate runtime behavior. > > For plugin installs, manually copy only the rules/ directories you want under ~/.claude/rules/ecc/. Start with rules/common plus one language or framework pack you actually use. Do not copy every rules directory unless you explicitly want all of that context in Claude. > > Use the full installer only when you are doing a fully manual ECC install instead of the plugin path. > > If your local Claude setup was wiped or reset, that does not mean you need to repurchase ECC. Start with node scripts/ecc.js list-installed, then run node scripts/ecc.js doctor and node scripts/ecc.js repair before reinstalling anything. That usually restores ECC-managed files without rebuilding your setup. If the problem is account or marketplace access for ECC Tools, handle billing/account recovery separately. bash # Clone the repo first git clone https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code.git cd everything-claude-code # Install dependencies (pick your package manager) npm install # or: pnpm install | yarn install | bun install # Plugin install path: copy only ECC rules into an ECC-owned namespace mkdir -p ~/.claude/rules/ecc cp -R rules/common ~/.claude/rules/ecc/ cp -R rules/typescript ~/.claude/rules/ecc/ # Fully manual ECC install path (use this instead of /plugin install) # ./install.sh --profile full powershell # Windows PowerShell # Plugin install path: copy only ECC rules into an ECC-owned namespace New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force -Path "$HOME/.claude/rules/ecc" | Out-Null Copy-Item -Recurse rules/common "$HOME/.claude/rules/ecc/" Copy-Item -Recurse rules/typescript "$HOME/.claude/rules/ecc/" # Fully manual ECC install path (use this instead of /plugin install) # .\install.ps1 --profile full # npx ecc-install --profile full For manual install instructions see the README in the rules/ folder.

X AI KOLs Timeline

The article discusses how Addy Osmani argues that the performance difference between AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Cline stems from their 'Harness'—the layer of prompts, tools, and constraints around the model—rather than the underlying model itself. It details best practices for harness engineering, including hooks, sandboxing, and context management, to bridge the gap between model capability and actual agent performance.
