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 | $0.00223 | $0.00223 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00112 | $0.00112 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00045 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
testing 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 today.
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.
What it actually says
Testing Requirements
Minimum Test Coverage: 80%
Test Types (ALL required):
- Unit Tests - Individual functions, utilities, components
- Integration Tests - API endpoints, database operations
- E2E Tests - Critical user flows (framework chosen per language)
Test-Driven Development
MANDATORY workflow:
- Write test first (RED)
- Run test - it should FAIL
- Write minimal implementation (GREEN)
- Run test - it should PASS
- Refactor (IMPROVE)
- Verify coverage (80%+)
Troubleshooting Test Failures
- Use tdd-guide agent
- Check test isolation
- Verify mocks are correct
- Fix implementation, not tests (unless tests are wrong)
Agent Support
- tdd-guide - Use PROACTIVELY for new features, enforces write-tests-first
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.

testing is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (251,781 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 223 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 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 2026-09-07.
