# AI use cases for ECC (affaan-m/ECC) Repo: [affaan-m/ECC](https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC) | Use cases: 4 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/affaan-m-ecc/ ECC is an MIT-licensed agent harness of skills, agents, hooks, memory, and AgentShield security scanning that runs with Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Install ECC as a Claude Code plugin in one guided run: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/affaan-m-ecc/install-ecc-claude-code-plugin/ - Preview, then install ECC into Claude Code and Codex together: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/affaan-m-ecc/configure-claude-and-codex-together/ - Scan agent prompts, hooks, and permissions for security issues: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/affaan-m-ecc/scan-agent-config-with-agentshield/ - Find the right ECC skill for a task before starting work: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/affaan-m-ecc/find-the-right-ecc-skill-for-a-task/ ## How to install ECC as a Claude Code plugin in one guided run with ECC Repo: [affaan-m/ECC](https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README Get ECC's skills, agents, commands, and hooks into Claude Code without manual file copying. **Who it is for:** A developer who uses Claude Code daily and wants the ECC agents and skills available in every session. **The problem:** Setting up agents, skills, and hooks by hand is slow, and layering manual and plugin installs can duplicate them. **The outcome:** The ecc@ecc plugin is enabled in Claude Code, and the guided setup handles later updates and scope changes. ### Steps 1. Install Node.js 18 or newer, Git, and Claude Code, then confirm with `node --version`, `git --version`, and `claude --version`. 2. Run `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 setup`. 3. Choose Global user scope and Standard hooks for a typical personal setup, then confirm. 4. Start a new Claude Code session and run `/plugin list` to check that ecc@ecc is enabled. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text On this machine, install the ECC Claude Code plugin from github.com/affaan-m/ECC by running `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 setup` with the scope . Report the output of `/plugin list` and confirm that ecc@ecc is enabled, without adding a manual Claude install. ``` ### Caveat Do not combine this with the native /plugin commands or a full manual Claude install, because that can duplicate skills, commands, and hooks. Risk, remote script: The npx command runs package code from the ecc-universal npm release, so review the release source and registry integrity before you run it.

Preview the Codex path without writing: `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 install --guided --harness codex --dry-run`. 2. Run `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 install --guided` and select Claude Code and Codex. 3. Review each install channel and destination shown, then confirm the single final prompt. 4. For automation, pass explicit flags: `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 install --guided --harness claude --harness codex --claude-scope local --claude-hooks standard --profile core --yes`. (inferred, check the README) ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the ECC repo at github.com/affaan-m/ECC, preview a guided install for Claude Code and Codex with `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 install --guided` and report the install channel and destination for each harness in . Verify that the preview shows no writes before you confirm. ``` ### Caveat The README says Kimi Code hooks, model and provider settings, and authentication are not configured by the guided install, and other adapters are capability-limited. Risk, remote script: The guided install runs package code from npm, so review the release source and registry integrity before you confirm. Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for.

Open a terminal in the project folder that holds your agent files. 2. Run `npx ecc-agentshield` to start a scan of the current folder. (inferred, check the README) 3. Read each finding and note the file it points to. 4. Remove or rotate any exposed secret, and tighten any permission the report flags. 5. Rerun the scan until the findings you accept are the only ones left. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the ecc-agentshield package from the ECC project, scan for issues in prompts, hooks, MCP config, permissions, secrets, and agent files. Return a list of findings with file paths and confirm that no secret values appear in your output. ``` ### Caveat The README lists what AgentShield scans but does not say it fixes findings, so you still need to review and change the files yourself.

Confirm ECC is installed by following the guided setup steps first. 2. Run `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 consult "security reviews" --target claude` and replace the quoted text with your own request. 3. Read the suggested skills and pick the one that matches the task. 4. Start the task in Claude Code and ask the agent to use that skill by name. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the ECC package ecc-universal from github.com/affaan-m/ECC, run `npx ecc-universal@2.2.3 consult "" --target claude` and return the top suggested skills with a one-line reason for each. Verify that each suggestion exists in the consult output before you use it. ``` ### Caveat The consult command depends on the ecc-universal 2.2 alias, so it is only available in that release line and not in older ECC installs.
