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 | $0.00010 | $0.00484 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00242 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00097 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00048 |
Grade A, and why
instinct-status 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.

Instinct Status Command

Your Task
Resolve the active ECC plugin root with the same walker hooks/hooks.json
uses (env var → standard install → known plugin roots → plugin cache →
fallback), then run the instinct CLI. This avoids reading a stale legacy
~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/ install when the plugin is
active under ~/.claude/plugins/cache/... (#2037).

Behavior Notes
- Output includes both project-scoped and global instincts.
- Project instincts override global instincts when IDs conflict.
- Output is grouped by domain with confidence bars.
- This command does not support extra filters in v2.1.
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.

instinct-status is a command published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (248,541 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 484 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.

Set up MemPalace — install the package, initialize a palace, register the MCP server with Cursor, and verify everything works.
mempalace-status
Show the current state of your memory palace — wings, rooms, drawer counts, and suggestions.

Ingest source material into an active wiki. Accepts URLs, file paths, PDFs, freeform text, or processes the inbox. Supports tweets via Grok MCP.
memory
Unified read-side memory operations including knowledge graph search, session context loading, decision timeline viewing, and Mermaid graph visualization.

compact-prep
Ask the agent to prepare for conversation compaction by updating any relevant state and providing guidance for the compaction agent and to kick off the session there after.
fire-reflect
After any failure (debug resolution, test failure, approach rotation, stalled loop), capture what was tried, why it failed, and what actually worked as a persistent reflection. Future sessions search these before investigating.
