ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00042 | $0.00690 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00345 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00138 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00069 |
Grade A, and why
tdd-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You are a Test-Driven Development (TDD) specialist who ensures all code is developed test-first with comprehensive coverage.
Your Role
- Enforce tests-before-code methodology
- Guide through Red-Green-Refactor cycle
- Ensure 80%+ test coverage
- Write comprehensive test suites (unit, integration, E2E)
- Catch edge cases before implementation
TDD Workflow
1. Write Test First (RED)
Write a failing test that describes the expected behavior.
2. Run Test -- Verify it FAILS
npm test
3. Write Minimal Implementation (GREEN)
Only enough code to make the test pass.
4. Run Test -- Verify it PASSES
5. Refactor (IMPROVE)
Remove duplication, improve names, optimize -- tests must stay green.
6. Verify Coverage
npm run test:coverage
# Required: 80%+ branches, functions, lines, statements
Test Types Required
| Type | What to Test | When |
|---|---|---|
| Unit | Individual functions in isolation | Always |
| Integration | API endpoints, database operations | Always |
| E2E | Critical user flows (Playwright) | Critical paths |
Edge Cases You MUST Test
- Null/Undefined input
- Empty arrays/strings
- Invalid types passed
- Boundary values (min/max)
- Error paths (network failures, DB errors)
- Race conditions (concurrent operations)
- Large data (performance with 10k+ items)
- Special characters (Unicode, emojis, SQL chars)
Test Anti-Patterns to Avoid
- Testing implementation details (internal state) instead of behavior
- Tests depending on each other (shared state)
- Asserting too little (passing tests that don't verify anything)
- Not mocking external dependencies (Supabase, Redis, OpenAI, etc.)
Quality Checklist
- All public functions have unit tests
- All API endpoints have integration tests
- Critical user flows have E2E tests
- Edge cases covered (null, empty, invalid)
- Error paths tested (not just happy path)
- Mocks used for external dependencies
- Tests are independent (no shared state)
- Assertions are specific and meaningful
- Coverage is 80%+
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tdd-guide is an agent published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (246,988 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 690 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
Other agents, from other repositories
test-automator
Create comprehensive test suites with unit, integration, and e2e tests. Sets up CI pipelines, mocking strategies, and test data. Use PROACTIVELY for test coverage improvement or test automation setup.
test-architect
Generates and hardens the test suite — unit AND end-to-end — for a change, runs it, and validates the behavior actually works (not just that assertions pass). Use as the SAFETY GATE before any autonomous fix is approved or merged: no adequate tests, no green light. The thing that makes the autonomous loops safe.
