agent-sort

agent-sort is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 58 tokens per session (1,310 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-aware planner that sorts coding-agent skills, commands, rules, hooks, and extras into DAILY items and LIBRARY items. DAILY items are used regularly; LIBRARY items remain available without being loaded by default.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a tailored install plan, decide what an agent should load routinely, and verify that selected components fit the repository.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary agent instructions and tools by using evidence from the actual codebase instead of installing everything.

Written for Claude Code and Codex: shipped in a Claude Code plugin, but also agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

About the project

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.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-sort 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 28d 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.

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.

Agent Sort

Use this skill when a repo needs a project-specific ECC surface instead of the default full install.

The goal is not to guess what "feels useful." The goal is to classify ECC components with evidence from the actual codebase.

When to Use

  • A project only needs a subset of ECC and full installs are too noisy
  • The repo stack is clear, but nobody wants to hand-curate skills one by one
  • A team wants a repeatable install decision backed by grep evidence instead of opinion
  • You need to separate always-loaded daily workflow surfaces from searchable library/reference surfaces
  • A repo has drifted into the wrong language, rule, or hook set and needs cleanup

Non-Negotiable Rules

  • Use the current repository as the source of truth, not generic preferences
  • Every DAILY decision must cite concrete repo evidence
  • LIBRARY does not mean "delete"; it means "keep accessible without loading by default"
  • Do not install hooks, rules, or scripts that the current repo cannot use
  • Prefer ECC-native surfaces; do not introduce a second install system

Outputs

Produce these artifacts in order:

  1. DAILY inventory
  2. LIBRARY inventory
  3. install plan
  4. verification report
  5. optional skill-library router if the project wants one

Classification Model

Use two buckets only:

  • DAILY
    • should load every session for this repo
    • strongly matched to the repo's language, framework, workflow, or operator surface
  • LIBRARY
    • useful to retain, but not worth loading by default
    • should remain reachable through search, router skill, or selective manual use

Evidence Sources

Use repo-local evidence before making any classification:

  • file extensions
  • package managers and lockfiles
  • framework configs
  • CI and hook configs
  • build/test scripts
  • imports and dependency manifests
  • repo docs that explicitly describe the stack

Useful commands include:

rg --files
rg -n "typescript|react|next|supabase|django|spring|flutter|swift"
cat package.json
cat pyproject.toml
cat Cargo.toml
cat pubspec.yaml
cat go.mod

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

agent-sort is a skill published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (281,495 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,310 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
