ECC is maintained as an open-source agent harness operating system across Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Zed, and other agent workflows.
Sponsorship directly funds:
- Faster bug-fix and release cycles
- Cross-platform parity work across harnesses
- Public docs, skills, and reliability tooling that remain free for the community
These are practical public starting points. Sponsorship funds the public OSS layer and sponsor visibility, not private implementation work.
| Tier | Price | Best For | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team Sponsor | $200/mo | Teams that want visible OSS support without README placement | Company name/logo/link in SPONSORS.md |
| Business Sponsor | $800/mo | Companies that want README sponsor visibility | Featured README sponsor area + SPONSORS.md listing + one sponsor-placement review |
| Strategic Sponsor | $3,700/mo | Ecosystem partners that want top placement and tighter coordination | Top README sponsor placement + SPONSORS.md listing + one 30-minute placement call + optional launch mention if the integration is genuinely useful |
No public tier includes seats, support SLA, custom development, a dedicated channel, or guaranteed case study unless separately agreed in writing.
Metrics shared monthly can include:
- npm downloads (
ecc-universal,ecc-agentshield) - Repository adoption (stars, forks, contributors)
- GitHub App install trend
- Release cadence and reliability milestones
For exact command snippets and a repeatable pull process, see docs/business/metrics-and-sponsorship.md.
- Sponsorship supports maintenance and acceleration; it does not transfer project ownership.
- Feature requests are prioritized based on sponsor tier, ecosystem impact, and maintenance risk.
- Security and reliability fixes take precedence over net-new features.
