What it does

Configure Ecc is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Run the conversational ECC setup wizard inside the current harness: inventory the install, collect scope (user/project/local) and hook mode (off/minimal/standard/strict) in Claude Code, use Codex's native plugin lifecycle, or install the project surface under ./.kimi-code, then preview, apply, and verify. Use when installing, updating, reconfiguring, or repairing an ECC installation, changing hook profiles, or moving ECC between install scopes.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Kimi. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Repairing an ECC installation
  • Changing hook profiles
  • Moving ECC between install scopes

Example prompts

  • “/configure-ecc”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Inventory without changing anything
  2. Collect exactly two choices
  3. Preview and confirm once
  4. Apply the explicit choices
  5. Verify, then render the welcome

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4eb71d9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • codex
    • claude
    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Configure Ecc loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 839 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~116
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

ECC

Configure ECC

Run a conversational wizard inside the current harness. Inventory first, collect only supported choices, preview, confirm once, apply non-interactively, verify, and show the welcome only after success. Never clone ECC into a temporary directory or copy plugin components by hand.

For a human-operated terminal, the canonical entry points are ecc setup and npx ecc-universal setup. Inside a harness, use the explicit non-interactive commands below instead.

Route by the current harness

  • In Claude Code, use the full scope-and-hook wizard below.
  • In Codex, use Codex's native plugin lifecycle. Do not offer Claude scopes or map ECC's four Claude hook profiles onto Codex.
  • In Kimi, install the project surface under ./.kimi-code. Kimi does not provide ECC's Claude lifecycle-hook profiles.
  • If the harness is uncertain, state the detected evidence and ask which harness to configure before running a mutating command.

This skill is a post-install reconfiguration path. It cannot intercept or replace a provider's built-in first-install UI.

Claude Code: run the full conversational wizard

1. Inventory without changing anything

Run both commands and summarize the installed ECC scope, enabled state, and marketplace source:

bash
claude plugin list --json
claude plugin marketplace list --json

Treat a single existing ecc@ecc installation as a reconfiguration. Do not interpret Claude's provider-owned "Open home page" control as installation evidence. Stop and report the recovery returned by setup for multiple ECC scopes, a legacy/manual install, malformed settings, or a marketplace collision; never guess which state to delete.

2. Collect exactly two choices

Ask exactly one scope question and require one value:

  • user | project | local
  • user is global for this user.
  • project is shared through repository settings.
  • local is private to the current project.

Visually mark only the selected scope as selected or installing. If the user chooses a different scope from a single existing install, describe it as a scope migration and include --move-scope in the commands below.

Ask exactly one hook-mode question and require one value:

  • off | minimal | standard | strict
  • off keeps skills and commands but disables ECC hook automation.
  • minimal enables the lightest lifecycle and safety automation.
  • standard balances quality and safety automation.
  • strict enables the strongest checks and reminders.

Hook preference is personal Claude plugin configuration; it does not follow the selected install scope.

3. Preview and confirm once

Prefer the plugin-bundled setup script. Substitute the two selected values and include --move-scope only for a scope migration:

bash
node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup.js" --mode claude-plugin \
  --scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --dry-run --json

If $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is unavailable, use the published npm package:

bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc setup --mode claude-plugin \
  --scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --dry-run --json

Show exactly one confirmation summary containing the planned action, one scope, one hook mode, marketplace action, and any source-to-destination migration. Ask one yes/no question. Do not run a bare interactive ecc setup through a harness shell tool because that shell is commonly non-TTY.

4. Apply the explicit choices

After confirmation, rerun the same route without --dry-run. Keep every choice explicit and request JSON so success can be checked deterministically:

bash
node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup.js" --mode claude-plugin \
  --scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --yes --json

Fallback:

bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc setup --mode claude-plugin \
  --scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --yes --json
Show full SKILL.md (378 more words)Show less
5. Verify, then render the welcome

Require a zero exit status and a setup result whose scope and hooks equal the selected values. Then independently run:

bash
claude plugin list --json

Continue only when exactly one enabled ecc@ecc entry exists at the selected scope. When $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is available, pass the successful setup action (installed, updated, migrated, resumed, or already-migrated) to the bundled renderer:

Before invoking it, require the provider-reported version to match ECC_VERSION_PATTERN from scripts/lib/terminal-welcome.js. Reject unexpected version text instead of interpolating it into a shell command.

bash
node -e 'const { renderTerminalWelcome } = require(process.env.CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT + "/scripts/lib/terminal-welcome"); process.stdout.write(renderTerminalWelcome({ action: process.argv[1], version: process.argv[2], color: process.stdout.isTTY }));' "<action>" "<installed-version>"

Render the welcome exactly once. On failure, dry-run, cancellation, a scope or hook mismatch, or unverifiable state, do not render it; report the error and recovery instead. After verified changes, tell the user to run /reload-plugins or restart Claude Code.

Codex: use the native plugin lifecycle

Inventory with codex plugin marketplace list --json and codex plugin list --available --json. Codex's native plugin command has no Claude-style user | project | local selector. Codex native plugins do support provider-specific hooks, but Codex requires explicit trust for them. Let Codex show that trust decision; do not ask the Claude four-profile hook question or claim those profiles map to Codex.

If the ECC marketplace is missing, add it. Otherwise refresh its snapshot:

bash
codex plugin marketplace add affaan-m/ECC
codex plugin marketplace upgrade ecc --json

Ask for one confirmation, then install or idempotently refresh the installed cache and verify it:

bash
codex plugin add ecc@ecc --json
codex plugin list --json

Continue only when the JSON reports ECC installed and provides its installedPath. Then render the verified bundle's welcome:

Use only the exact absolute installedPath returned by Codex JSON. Reject control characters and require the installed version to match ECC_VERSION_PATTERN. Invoke node directly with this argument array; this is a tool API invocation, not a shell command:

text
["<installedPath>/scripts/welcome.js", "--action", "configured", "--version", "<installed-version>"]

If the current harness cannot invoke an executable with a separate argument array, skip the welcome. Never construct a shell command from Codex JSON values.

Never claim that Claude's off | minimal | standard | strict profiles were applied to Codex.

Kimi: install the project surface

State the capability summary before confirmation: destination ./.kimi-code; hooks=unsupported for ECC lifecycle hooks. Do not ask the Claude scope or hook-mode questions. Preview first:

bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc install --profile core --target kimi --dry-run

Show one confirmation for that project destination, then apply the identical command without --dry-run. Verify with:

bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc doctor --target kimi

Only after doctor succeeds and the installed instructions and skills remain inside ./.kimi-code, render:

bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc welcome --action configured

Do not claim that Kimi installed or configured ECC lifecycle hooks.
