ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 Naming And Publication Matrix

Snapshot date: 2026-05-18.

This matrix answers the release question "ship as Everything Claude Code, ECC, or a renamed surface?" for the rc.1 lane. It is evidence for planning, not a publication action.

Decision

For v2.0.0-rc.1, keep the public identity as Everything Claude Code (ECC). Use ECC as the short product name in copy, plugin slugs, status surfaces, and diagrams, but do not rename the GitHub repo, npm package, or package entry points before the rc.1 release.

Reason:

• the current install surface already works as ecc-universal plus the ecc plugin slug;
• the exact npm package name ecc is already occupied by an unrelated elliptic curve cryptography package;
• the repo name affaan-m/ecc is not present, but renaming affaan-m/everything-claude-code before rc.1 would create avoidable URL, package, docs, and marketplace churn;
• Claude and Codex plugin surfaces are already short enough as ecc;
• rc.1 should prove the release, plugin, and publication pipeline before any broader brand migration.

Publication Paths

Path	Current evidence	Required next action	Blocker
GitHub release	docs/releases/2.0.0-rc.1/ and release notes are in-tree	Re-run required command evidence from the final release commit, then create/verify v2.0.0-rc.1 prerelease	No tag/release yet
npm	ecc-universal local package version is 2.0.0-rc.1; registry latest is 1.10.0	Publish rc with npm publish --tag next after final npm pack --dry-run and release tests	Do not publish before final release commit
Claude plugin	claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json passed; claude plugin tag --help confirms the release tag flow creates {name}--v{version} tags and can push them	Run claude plugin tag .claude-plugin --dry-run from the clean release commit, then tag/push only after release approval	No plugin release tag created in this pass
Claude marketplace	.claude-plugin/marketplace.json points at ecc and the public repo	Verify marketplace update/install path after tag exists	External marketplace propagation not verified
Codex plugin	codex plugin marketplace supports local and Git marketplace sources; .codex-plugin/plugin.json is present; .agents/plugins/marketplace.json exposes ecc from the repo root; temp-home local and GitHub-ref marketplace adds passed	Publish rc.1 docs with the repo-marketplace command, then monitor OpenAI's official Plugin Directory path	Do not claim official Plugin Directory listing before OpenAI submission evidence
OpenCode package	.opencode/package.json builds from source and ships inside npm package	Re-run npm run build:opencode and package dry-run from release commit	OpenCode CLI 1.2.21 does not expose a separate plugin publication command in this pass
ECC Tools billing claim	README and launch copy mention ECC Tools / marketplace context	ECC-Tools #73 adds /api/billing/readiness announcementGate; run it against a Marketplace-managed test account before any payment announcement	Billing announcement code gate exists; live Marketplace account readback still pending
Social and longform copy	X thread, LinkedIn copy, article outline, GitHub release copy exist	Replace any stale URLs, then publish only after release/npm/plugin URLs work	Public URLs not final until release actions complete

ITO-46 Blocker Register

Channel	Current status	Required metadata/evidence	Owner	Blocker or follow-up
GitHub release	Approval-gated; no v2.0.0-rc.1 prerelease yet	Tag, release URL, prerelease flag, final release notes, URL ledger	Release owner	Create only after final clean-checkout evidence
npm	ecc-universal@2.0.0-rc.1 dry-run passed; registry latest is 1.10.0	Pack summary, publish dry-run, next dist-tag readback, registry signature evidence	Package owner	Do not publish before approval and final release commit
Short npm name	ecc is occupied; @affaan-m/ecc returns 404	Name availability outputs and migration plan	Release owner	Keep ecc-universal for rc.1; scoped rename is post-rc only
Claude plugin	ecc@2.0.0-rc.1 validates; tag dry run would create ecc--v2.0.0-rc.1	claude plugin validate ., claude plugin tag .claude-plugin --dry-run, marketplace install/update smoke	Plugin owner	Real tag push and marketplace propagation require release approval
Claude marketplace	Docs and CLI support GitHub, git URL, remote marketplace JSON, and local path sources	Public repo marketplace JSON, support/contact metadata, post-tag install smoke	Plugin owner	No external official listing has been submitted in this pass
Codex repo marketplace	Local and GitHub-ref temp-home marketplace add smokes passed on Codex CLI 0.131.0	.codex-plugin/plugin.json, .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, repo/personal marketplace evidence	Plugin owner	Official Plugin Directory listing requires OpenAI submission/listing evidence
Codex official Plugin Directory	OpenAI docs describe the curated official directory; ECC has not submitted or received listing evidence	Directory submission link or OpenAI approval path once available	Plugin owner	Track as an ITO-56/ITO-46 follow-up; do not claim an official listing
OpenCode package	npm run build:opencode passed	Built .opencode package metadata inside npm tarball	Package owner	No separate public plugin channel identified; follows npm
Billing/native payments	Announcement remains blocked by ITO-61	Marketplace Pro target readback, webhook provenance, INTERNAL_API_SECRET, announcement gate	ECC Tools owner	Do not include native-payments claim in rc.1 announcement
Social/longform copy	Drafts exist	Final live GitHub, npm, Claude, Codex, billing URLs	Release owner	Publish only after release/package/plugin URLs exist

Rename After rc.1

If the project moves from "Everything Claude Code" toward "ECC" after rc.1, do it as a staged migration:

1. Keep ecc-universal as the npm package until a replacement package has a verified owner, deprecation plan, and install migration.
2. Keep affaan-m/everything-claude-code as the canonical repo until release notes, docs, plugin marketplace entries, npm metadata, and external links are prepared for redirects.
3. Use ECC as the product name in new diagrams, status payloads, and cross-harness docs immediately.
4. Reserve or create any new GitHub/npm/package surfaces before announcing the rename.
5. Ship a compatibility guide that maps old commands, package names, plugin slugs, and docs URLs to the new names.
