Get the ECC Field Manual

The 235,412-star agent-harness system, tested for real. In January 2026, Affaan Mustafa pushed a repository of instructions, skills, and hooks for AI coding agents — no product, no app. Six months later ECC (formerly Everything Claude Code) is the most-starred agent setup on GitHub, with a business (ecc.tools), a GitHub App, a $19/seat Pro tier, and a readme in 12 languages. We cloned it, ran the installer in a sandboxed home, read the skill library, and verified every number against primary sources — all dated 2026-07-29. INSIDE: (1) THE STORY + VERIFIED NUMBERS TABLE — 235,412 stars and 35,850 forks from the GitHub API, 67 agents and 281 skills counted from a fresh clone, npm weekly downloads, 14 installer harness targets, every row with its source. (2) THE SELECTIVE-INSTALL WALKTHROUGH — our real install transcript: the developer profile installs 121 of 281 skills (753 file operations), because every skill you install costs context; plus the recommended Claude Code plugin path (/plugin install ecc@ecc) and the do-NOT-stack-install-methods rule. (3) 8 SKILLS WORTH STEALING even if you never install ECC — delivery-gate, santa-method, continuous-learning-v2 (the instincts system), intent-driven-development, agent-harness-construction, rules-distill, repo-scan, agent-eval — descriptions quoted from each SKILL.md. (4) THE HONEST READ — the readme's own fake-mirrors malware warning (official sources only), the one-maintainer bus factor, token cost of big skill libraries, and adapter depth outside Claude Code. (5) THE 3-STEP SETUP — 15 minutes, tonight. Full credit to Affaan Mustafa — MIT, "OSS stays free."
