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.

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 5.1 | $0.00233 | $0.00233 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00093 | $0.00093 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00047 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade B, and why
git-workflow scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 12d ago.
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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
Note: ECC-managed installs set `"includeCoAuthoredBy": false` in `~/.claude/settings.json`, so commits carry no `Co-Authored-By` trailer by default. To keep Claude attribution, set `"includeCoAuthoredBy": true` or config What it actually says
Git Workflow
Commit Message Format
<type>: <description>
<optional body>
Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, perf, ci
Note: ECC-managed installs set "includeCoAuthoredBy": false in ~/.claude/settings.json, so commits carry no Co-Authored-By trailer by default. To keep Claude attribution, set "includeCoAuthoredBy": true or configure attribution; ECC never overwrites an explicit choice.
Pull Request Workflow
When creating PRs:
- Analyze full commit history (not just latest commit)
- Use
git diff [base-branch]...HEADto see all changes - Draft comprehensive PR summary
- Include test plan with TODOs
- Push with
-uflag if new branch
For the full development process (planning, TDD, code review) before git operations, see the development workflow rule.
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.

git-workflow is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (287,323 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 233 tokens to every session, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-07.
