Jump to install ↓

Your agent can write code, but ECC gives it a coordinated engineering system and toolbox: it plans before it builds, verifies changes with tests, reviews its own work from a fresh context, remembers what matters, and turns repeated wins into reusable skills and workflows.

plan -> test -> implement -> review -> verify -> remember -> improve

Instead of rebuilding that process in every prompt, you install it once and make it part of how your agent works.

Optimize the context window. Persist everything else.

ECC is MIT-licensed open source. It works best with Claude Code today, has a supported Codex sync path, and provides capability-limited adapters for Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, Zed, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity, Qwen, and other harnesses. See the support status matrix before assuming feature parity.

Access to 68 agents, 292 skills, and 94 legacy command shims, plus hooks, rules, memory, continuous learning, and AgentShield security scanning. The agents are specialized for planning, review, build repair, security, architecture, and domain work.

For Claude Code plugin setup, updates, scope changes, and hook-profile changes:

npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 setup

If you are new to command-line tools, use this copy-and-paste path:

1. Install Node.js 18 or newer, Git, and Claude Code.

2. Open PowerShell from the Windows Start menu.

3. Confirm that each prerequisite is available:

   node --version
   git --version
   claude --version

4. Run the guided installer:

   npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 setup

5. For a typical personal setup, choose Global user, choose Standard hooks, and confirm.

6. Start a new Claude Code session and run /plugin list to verify that ecc@ecc is enabled.

This path does not require cloning the repository. If any prerequisite command is not found, install or repair that prerequisite before rerunning ECC setup.

If npm reports a version or cache error, confirm the registry version before retrying:

npm view ecc-universal version

ECC 2.2 supports the same guided setup through modern package runners:

The examples select the published ECC 2.2.2 release, matching this repository's release version. A version pin is not a security audit or an integrity check. Review the release source and registry integrity before running package code; use a reviewed checkout for unreleased changes.

Yarn Classic 1 does not provide yarn dlx; use npx, install the package globally, or upgrade Yarn for a temporary one-shot run.

The wizard inventories the official marketplace and every native Claude install scope before making changes, then installs, updates, or safely moves ecc@ecc to the scope you choose. Rerun the same command whenever you want to update ECC, change scope, or change its hook profile. This setup wizard currently configures the Claude Code plugin; use the multi-harness wizard below for Codex or Kimi Code.

To configure more than one coding agent in one reviewed flow, use the multi-harness wizard:

npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 install --guided

It lets you select any combination of Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code, shows each install channel and destination, preflights every selection before the first write, and asks for one final confirmation.

For automation, make every provider-specific choice explicit:

npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 install --guided \
  --harness claude --harness codex --harness kimi \
  --claude-scope local --claude-hooks standard \
  --profile core --yes

Verify the native guided Codex path and managed Kimi path without writing first:

npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 install --guided --harness codex --dry-run
npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 install --profile core --target kimi --dry-run

Additional package-name commands are also available through the 2.2 alias:

npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 consult "security reviews" --target claude
npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 install --profile minimal --target claude --with capability:machine-learning
npx ecc-universal@2.2.2 doctor --target kimi

Do not use npx ecc-install --profile minimal --target claude: ecc-install is a binary name inside ecc-universal, not a separately published npm package.

ECC also ships advanced managed adapters for cursor, antigravity, gemini, opencode, codebuddy, joycode, qwen, zed, hermes, and openclaw. Those targets still use their documented ecc install --target ... paths until each adapter has passed the guided collision, update, repair, and uninstall lifecycle matrix. Neither wizard silently installs into every detected harness.

You can use ECC with Claude Code, Codex, and other harnesses at the same time. Choose one install method for each harness:

• Recommended default: run the guided Claude plugin setup above
• Also supported for Claude Code: use the native plugin commands
• Available in release 2.2: guided package setup for Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code
• Works: Claude Code plugin + Codex native plugin
• Works: Claude Code plugin + the legacy Codex sync flow
• Avoid: Claude Code plugin + full Claude manual install
• Avoid: Codex sync + Codex marketplace plugin

Do not stack install methods. Installing ECC twice into the same harness can duplicate skills, commands, hooks, or configuration; installing it once into multiple harnesses does not.

If you already layered multiple installs and things look duplicated, skip straight to Reset / Uninstall ECC.

Install trouble? Open the short install or runtime problem form, or run ecc feedback. ECC never uploads diagnostics automatically.

Alternatively, run Claude Code's native plugin commands inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC
/plugin install ecc@ecc

The native path installs ECC's skills, agents, commands, and plugin-managed hooks. If you choose it, stop there. Do not also run a full manual install into Claude Code.

Claude Code owns these built-in commands, including their errors when a marketplace, plugin, or conflicting scope already exists. ECC cannot intercept that parser. If either native command reports an existing install or scope conflict, use the 2.2 guided setup or resolve the conflicting Claude plugin scope before retrying; do not layer a manual install on top.

After ECC is installed, /ecc:configure-ecc is the namespaced in-Claude reconfiguration skill. It delegates to the same safe setup flow, but it is available only after the plugin is installed and cannot replace Claude Code's built-in /plugin command during a first install.

Claude Code plugins cannot distribute rules, so add only the rule packs you actually want:

git clone https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC.git
cd ECC
mkdir -p ~/.claude/rules/ecc
cp -R rules/common ~/.claude/rules/ecc/
cp -R rules/typescript ~/.claude/rules/ecc/  # replace with your stack

Start with rules/common plus one language or framework pack you actually use. If you install the plugin, do not run ./install.sh --profile full afterward.

Current Codex releases can install ECC as a native repo-marketplace plugin. The marketplace entry uses the repository root so Codex's cache receives the manifest together with all referenced skills, MCP configuration, hook runtime, scripts, and assets:

codex plugin marketplace add affaan-m/ECC
codex plugin add ecc@ecc
codex plugin list --json
node scripts/codex/check-plugin-cache.js

Both add commands are idempotent. To refresh later, run codex plugin marketplace upgrade ecc followed by codex plugin add ecc@ecc. Codex stores one enabled plugin state in the active CODEX_HOME; it does not offer Claude's user, project, and local scopes. Its native hooks require an explicit trust decision and do not use Claude's four ECC hook profiles. Inside Codex, invoke $configure-ecc for the guided provider-aware flow.

The older scripts/sync-ecc-to-codex.sh path is a deprecated compatibility option for users who intentionally need copied and merged configuration in ~/.codex; it is not required for the native plugin. New sync runs write an ownership manifest so cleanup can preserve modified user files. Run Codex once first so ~/.codex/config.toml exists, then:

git clone https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC.git
cd ECC
npm install
bash scripts/sync-ecc-to-codex.sh

To inspect or remove that legacy layer without touching Codex conversations or native plugin caches:

node scripts/ecc.js uninstall --legacy-codex-sync --dry-run
node scripts/ecc.js uninstall --legacy-codex-sync

Pre-manifest installations are handled conservatively: ECC removes its marked AGENTS.md block but preserves copied files it cannot prove it owns and reports them for review.

You can also open the ECC repository directly in Codex for a project-local setup. Codex reads the root AGENTS.md and the trusted project configuration in .codex/ without a global sync. Do not add the native marketplace plugin on top of the sync flow.

For repo navigation, surface ownership, and PR diff packet guidance, read the Codex ECC Navigation Map. See the .codex plugin notes for native lifecycle details.

ECC works through each harness's normal configuration, so you can use an official provider, a compatible custom API endpoint or model gateway, or a self-hosted model without changing ECC's workflows.

For Claude Code, ECC does not hardcode Anthropic-hosted transport settings. Minimal gateway example:

export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://your-gateway.example.com
export ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token
claude

If your gateway remaps model names, configure that in Claude Code rather than in ECC. ECC's hooks, skills, commands, and rules are model-provider agnostic once the claude CLI is already working. See Anthropic's LLM gateway documentation and model configuration documentation.

Run or self-host any open-source model behind that gateway using separate compute and serving setup. If you need GPU capacity, Itô is ECC's preferred compute sponsor; any GPU provider works. The sponsorship link is passive: it does not invoke an RFQ, reserve capacity, provision compute, or configure serving. Separately, ecc ito find invokes the explicitly configured canonical Itô CLI and submits a live authenticated RFQ; it does not reserve capacity. Managed inference through Itô is not live yet.

The Kimi Code harness and the model-serving layer are separate. ECC configures the agent harness; you bring an API endpoint (get a Kimi API key) or self-host an open-weight Kimi model on your own GPU capacity. This adapter is verified against Kimi Code 0.31.x (@moonshot-ai/kimi-code):

1. Get GPU capacity Use Itô or any GPU provider.

2. Serve Kimi Expose the chosen checkpoint through a compatible endpoint.

3. Run Kimi Code with ECC Install project instructions and skills, then start Kimi Code.

Configure the endpoint with Kimi Code's official provider guide, then install ECC:

bash ./install.sh --target kimi --profile minimal
node scripts/ecc.js doctor --target kimi
kimi

Kimi Code discovers the installed .kimi-code/AGENTS.md instructions and .kimi-code/skills/ workflows natively; project-level .agents/skills/ is also an official discovery location. ECC safely merges project MCP entries into .kimi-code/mcp.json and does not change the user-level ~/.kimi-code/config.toml. Kimi Code supports native hooks, but ECC's current managed-project adapter does not configure them, so this installer does not offer Kimi hook profiles. The installer dry-run and regression suite verify that every managed Kimi write stays inside the project-local .kimi-code/ root.

ecc ito delegates to the separately installed canonical Itô client; ECC does not maintain a second API client. ecc ito login [--no-browser] performs device authorization, opens the Itô verification page by default, and persists a device token in macOS Keychain; --no-browser suppresses the page handoff. ECC itself does no browser automation. ecc ito auth is validation-only and rejects --no-browser. The available operations are ecc ito login, ecc ito auth, ecc ito find, ecc ito status, and the separately gated ecc ito evals. The matching MCP tools remain ito_auth, ito_find, and ito_status; ito_auth validates existing credentials and node qualification is CLI-only.

The ito-compute-cli package is currently unpublished. Build it locally from the Itô runtime repo (private while the desk hardens; design partners get access) under cli/ito-compute-cli, run npm ci and npm run check, then set ECC_ITO_CLI_EXECUTABLE to that build's absolute dist/bin/ito.js path. Login never inherits ITO_API_KEY; auth, find, and status forward ITO_API_KEY directly when configured, and ITO_AUTH_MODE=legacy is not required. ecc ito logout revokes the current device credential and retains its local copy if remote revocation cannot be confirmed. Device tokens use macOS Keychain by default; explicit file fallback must retain owner-only directory/file permissions. ECC does not discover this credential-bearing client through PATH. See the ito-compute skill for the full RFQ authority and MCP setup contract.

find submits a live authenticated RFQ. It does not reserve capacity. evals requires both ITO_ENABLE_SIXTYTWO_LIVE=1 and --live-sixtytwo, a separately installed sixtytwo-cli==0.3.33, an explicit node list, and an existing absolute configuration directory. It cannot rent, launch, recover, repair, or purchase. ECC exposes no quote lock, purchase, workload, or inference path, and it never replaces a missing client or failed live call with a local result.

Current release: 2.2.2 (2026-08-31). Highlights of the 2.2 line:

• Guided, manifest-driven setup across Claude Code, Codex, and Kimi Code, with install-state ownership, doctor, repair, and uninstall.
• Native Antigravity install, a thin Pi adapter, and the packed-artifact release gate tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Plan Canvas browser review, the unified memory vault (ecc memory), and the Itô compute skill family.
