The #1 agentic engineering toolkit

The operating layer for agent harnesses.

Skills, memory, planning and security. Give your coding agents a shared way to work, across the tools you use.

These channels overlap, so their counts are not added together. npm totals are the API-reported values; shared zero-day reporting gaps remain, with no estimated downloads added. A missing native plugin counter means unknown, not zero.

Unified Memory

The next agent can pick up the thread.

Save a handoff, search project context and read it from another harness. Available through the CLI and MCP.

A few details

Questions before you begin.

What is ECC?

ECC is an open-source collection of skills, agents, hooks and workflow tools for coding agents. Start with the pieces your project needs, keep them in version control, and use them in your existing harness.

Explore the open-source project
How does the GitHub App work?

Connect the repositories you choose to the ECC GitHub App. It uses repository history to prepare reviewable guidance for your team. Review the requested GitHub permissions before installing; your existing pull-request review remains part of the workflow.

Review the GitHub App
What does AgentShield check?

AgentShield inspects agent configuration and workflow surfaces for risks such as prompt injection, unsafe permissions and exposed secrets. A scan is a review aid, not a guarantee that a repository or agent is safe. Review the scanner and the scope you select before running it.

Explore AgentShield
What is included in the open-source toolkit?

ECC is MIT-licensed and includes skills, agents, hooks, Plan Canvas, unified memory and compute workflows. Use them from the open-source repository. The GitHub App has separate Free, Pro and Enterprise plans; paid rollout and support are scoped with your team.
