Working Context

Last updated: 2026-04-05

Purpose

Public ECC plugin repo for agents, skills, commands, hooks, rules, install surfaces, and ECC 2.0 platform buildout.

Current Truth

• Default branch: main
• Public release surface is aligned at v1.10.0
• Public catalog truth is 39 agents, 72 commands, and 163 skills
• Public plugin slug is now ecc; legacy everything-claude-code install paths remain supported for compatibility
• Release discussion: #1272
• ECC 2.0 exists in-tree and builds, but it is still alpha rather than GA
• Main active operational work:
  • keep default branch green
  • continue issue-driven fixes from main now that the public PR backlog is at zero
  • continue ECC 2.0 control-plane and operator-surface buildout

Current Constraints

• No merge by title or commit summary alone.
• No arbitrary external runtime installs in shipped ECC surfaces.
• Overlapping skills, hooks, or agents should be consolidated when overlap is material and runtime separation is not required.

Active Queues

• PR backlog: reduced but active; keep direct-porting only safe ECC-native changes and close overlap, stale generators, and unaudited external-runtime lanes
• Upstream branch backlog still needs selective mining and cleanup:
  • origin/feat/hermes-generated-ops-skills still has three unique commits, but only reusable ECC-native skills should be salvaged from it
  • multiple origin/ecc-tools/* automation branches are stale and should be pruned after confirming they carry no unique value
• Product:
  • selective install cleanup
  • control plane primitives
  • operator surface
  • self-improving skills
• Skill quality:
  • rewrite content-facing skills to use source-backed voice modeling
  • remove generic LLM rhetoric, canned CTA patterns, and forced platform stereotypes
  • continue one-by-one audit of overlapping or low-signal skill content
  • move repo guidance and contribution flow to skills-first, leaving commands only as explicit compatibility shims
  • add operator skills that wrap connected surfaces instead of exposing only raw APIs or disconnected primitives
  • land the canonical voice system, network-optimization lane, and reusable Manim explainer lane
• Security:
  • keep dependency posture clean
  • preserve self-contained hook and MCP behavior

Open PR Classification

• Closed on 2026-04-01 under backlog hygiene / merge policy:
  • #1069 feat: add everything-claude-code ECC bundle
  • #1068 feat: add everything-claude-code-conventions ECC bundle
  • #1080 feat: add everything-claude-code ECC bundle
  • #1079 feat: add everything-claude-code-conventions ECC bundle
  • #1064 chore(deps-dev): bump @eslint/js from 9.39.2 to 10.0.1
  • #1063 chore(deps-dev): bump eslint from 9.39.2 to 10.1.0
• Closed on 2026-04-01 because the content is sourced from external ecosystems and should only land via manual ECC-native re-port:
  • #852 openclaw-user-profiler
  • #851 openclaw-soul-forge
  • #640 harper skills
• Native-support candidates to fully diff-audit next:
  • #1055 Dart / Flutter support
  • #1043 C# reviewer and .NET skills
• Direct-port candidates landed after audit:
  • #1078 hook-id dedupe for managed Claude hook reinstalls
  • #844 ui-demo skill
  • #1110 install-time Claude hook root resolution
  • #1106 portable Codex Context7 key extraction
  • #1107 Codex baseline merge and sample agent-role sync
  • #1119 stale CI/lint cleanup that still contained safe low-risk fixes
• Port or rebuild inside ECC after full audit:
  • #894 Jira integration
  • #814 + #808 rebuild as a single consolidated notifications lane for Opencode and cross-harness surfaces

Interfaces

• Public truth: GitHub issues and PRs
• Internal execution truth: linked Linear work items under the ECC program
• Current linked Linear items:
  • ECC-206 ecosystem CI baseline
  • ECC-207 PR backlog audit and merge-policy enforcement
  • ECC-208 context hygiene
  • ECC-210 skills-first workflow migration and command compatibility retirement

Update Rule

Keep this file detailed for only the current sprint, blockers, and next actions. Summarize completed work into archive or repo docs once it is no longer actively shaping execution.

Latest Execution Notes

• 2026-04-05: Fixed the main npm CI break after the latest direct ports. package-lock.json had drifted behind package.json on the globals devDependency (^17.1.0 vs ^17.4.0), which caused all npm-based GitHub Actions jobs to fail at npm ci. Refreshed the lockfile only, verified npm ci --ignore-scripts, and kept the mixed-lock workspace otherwise untouched.
• 2026-04-05: Direct-ported the useful discoverability part of #1221 without duplicating a second healthcare compliance system. Added skills/hipaa-compliance/SKILL.md as a thin HIPAA-specific entrypoint that points into the canonical healthcare-phi-compliance / healthcare-reviewer lane, and wired both healthcare privacy skills into the security install module for selective installs.
• 2026-04-05: Direct-ported the audited blockchain/web3 security lane from #1222 into main as four self-contained skills: defi-amm-security, evm-token-decimals, llm-trading-agent-security, and nodejs-keccak256. These are now part of the security install module instead of living as an unmerged fork PR.
• 2026-04-05: Finished the useful salvage pass from #1203 directly on main. skills/security-bounty-hunter, skills/api-connector-builder, and skills/dashboard-builder are now in-tree as ECC-native rewrites instead of the thinner original community drafts. The original PR should be treated as superseded rather than merged.
• 2026-04-02: ECC-Tools/main shipped 9566637 (fix: prefer commit lookup over git ref resolution). The PR-analysis fire is now fixed in the app repo by preferring explicit commit resolution before git.getRef, with regression coverage for pull refs and plain branch refs. Mirrored public tracking issue #1184 in this repo was closed as resolved upstream.
• 2026-04-02: Direct-ported the clean native-support core of #1043 into main: agents/csharp-reviewer.md, skills/dotnet-patterns/SKILL.md, and skills/csharp-testing/SKILL.md. This fills the gap between existing C# rule/docs mentions and actual shipped C# review/testing guidance.
• 2026-04-02: Direct-ported the clean native-support core of #1055 into main: agents/dart-build-resolver.md, commands/flutter-build.md, commands/flutter-review.md, commands/flutter-test.md, rules/dart/*, and skills/dart-flutter-patterns/SKILL.md. The skill paths were wired into the current framework-language module instead of replaying the older PR's separate flutter-dart module layout.
• 2026-04-02: Closed #1081 after diff audit. The PR only added vendor-marketing docs for an external X/Twitter backend (Xquik / x-twitter-scraper) to the canonical x-api skill instead of contributing an ECC-native capability.
• 2026-04-02: Direct-ported the useful Jira lane from #894, but sanitized it to match current supply-chain policy. commands/jira.md, skills/jira-integration/SKILL.md, and the pinned jira MCP template in mcp-configs/mcp-servers.json are in-tree, while the skill no longer tells users to install uv via curl | bash. jira-integration is classified under operator-workflows for selective installs.
• 2026-04-02: Closed #1125 after full diff audit. The bundle/skill-router lane hardcoded many non-existent or non-canonical surfaces and created a second routing abstraction instead of a small ECC-native index layer.
• 2026-04-02: Closed #1124 after full diff audit. The added agent roster was thoughtfully written, but it duplicated the existing ECC agent surface with a second competing catalog (dispatch, explore, verifier, executor, etc.) instead of strengthening canonical agents already in-tree.
• 2026-04-02: Closed the full Argus cluster #1098, #1099, #1100, #1101, and #1102 after full diff audit. The common failure mode was the same across all five PRs: external multi-CLI dispatch was treated as a first-class runtime dependency of shipped ECC surfaces. Any useful protocol ideas should be re-ported later into ECC-native orchestration, review, or reflection lanes without external CLI fan-out assumptions.
• 2026-04-02: The previously open native-support / integration queue (#1081, #1055, #1043, #894) has now been fully resolved by direct-port or closure policy. The active public PR queue is currently zero; next focus stays on issue-driven mainline fixes and CI health, not backlog PR intake.
• 2026-04-01: main CI was restored locally with 1723/1723 tests passing after lockfile and hook validation fixes.
• 2026-04-01: Auto-generated ECC bundle PRs #1068 and #1069 were closed instead of merged; useful ideas must be ported manually after explicit diff audit.
• 2026-04-01: Major-version ESLint bump PRs #1063 and #1064 were closed; revisit only inside a planned ESLint 10 migration lane.
• 2026-04-01: Notification PRs #808 and #814 were identified as overlapping and should be rebuilt as one unified feature instead of landing as parallel branches.
• 2026-04-01: External-source skill PRs #640, #851, and #852 were closed under the new ingestion policy; copy ideas from audited source later rather than merging branded/source-import PRs directly.
• 2026-04-01: The remaining low GitHub advisory on ecc2/Cargo.lock was addressed by moving ratatui to 0.30 with crossterm_0_28, which updated transitive lru from 0.12.5 to 0.16.3. cargo build --manifest-path ecc2/Cargo.toml still passes.
• 2026-04-01: Safe core of #834 was ported directly into main instead of merging the PR wholesale. This included stricter install-plan validation, antigravity target filtering that skips unsupported module trees, tracked catalog sync for English plus zh-CN docs, and a dedicated catalog:sync write mode.
• 2026-04-01: Repo catalog truth is now synced at 36 agents, 68 commands, and 142 skills across the tracked English and zh-CN docs.
• 2026-04-01: Legacy emoji and non-essential symbol usage in docs, scripts, and tests was normalized to keep the unicode-safety lane green without weakening the check itself.
• 2026-04-01: The remaining self-contained piece of #834, docs/zh-CN/skills/browser-qa/SKILL.md, was ported directly into the repo. After commit, #834 should be closed as superseded-by-direct-port.
• 2026-04-01: Content skill cleanup started with content-engine, crosspost, article-writing, and investor-outreach. The new direction is source-first voice capture, explicit anti-trope bans, and no forced platform persona shifts.
• 2026-04-01: node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js --write sanitized the remaining emoji-bearing Markdown files, including several remotion-video-creation rule docs and an old local plan note.
• 2026-04-01: Core English repo surfaces were shifted to a skills-first posture. README, AGENTS, plugin metadata, and contributor instructions now treat skills/ as canonical and commands/ as legacy slash-entry compatibility during migration.
• 2026-04-01: Follow-up bundle cleanup closed #1080 and #1079, which were generated .claude/ bundle PRs duplicating command-first scaffolding instead of shipping canonical ECC source changes.
• 2026-04-01: Ported the useful core of #1078 directly into main, but tightened the implementation so legacy no-id hook installs deduplicate cleanly on the first reinstall instead of the second. Added stable hook ids to hooks/hooks.json, semantic fallback aliases in mergeHookEntries(), and a regression test covering upgrade from pre-id settings.
• 2026-04-01: Collapsed the obvious command/skill duplicates into thin legacy shims so skills/ now hold the maintained bodies for NanoClaw, context-budget, DevFleet, docs lookup, E2E, evals, orchestration, prompt optimization, rules distillation, TDD, and verification.
• 2026-04-01: Ported the self-contained core of #844 directly into main as skills/ui-demo/SKILL.md and registered it under the media-generation install module instead of merging the PR wholesale.
• 2026-04-01: Added the first connected-workflow operator lane as ECC-native skills instead of leaving the surface as raw plugins or APIs: workspace-surface-audit, customer-billing-ops, project-flow-ops, and google-workspace-ops. These are tracked under the new operator-workflows install module.
• 2026-04-01: Direct-ported the real fix from the unresolved hook-path PR lane into the active installer. Claude installs now replace ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with the concrete install root in both settings.json and the copied hooks/hooks.json, which keeps PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks working outside plugin-managed env injection.
• 2026-04-01: Replaced the GNU-only grep -P parser in scripts/sync-ecc-to-codex.sh with a portable Node parser for Context7 key extraction. Added source-level regression coverage so BSD/macOS syncs do not drift back to non-portable parsing.
• 2026-04-01: Targeted regression suite after the direct ports is green: tests/scripts/install-apply.test.js, tests/scripts/sync-ecc-to-codex.test.js, and tests/scripts/codex-hooks.test.js.
• 2026-04-01: Ported the useful core of #1107 directly into main as an add-only Codex baseline merge. scripts/sync-ecc-to-codex.sh now fills missing non-MCP defaults from .codex/config.toml, syncs sample agent role files into ~/.codex/agents, and preserves user config instead of replacing it. Added regression coverage for sparse configs and implicit parent tables.
• 2026-04-01: Ported the safe low-risk cleanup from #1119 directly into main instead of keeping an obsolete CI PR open. This included .mjs eslint handling, stricter null checks, Windows home-dir coverage in bash-log tests, and longer Trae shell-test timeouts.
• 2026-04-01: Added brand-voice as the canonical source-derived writing-style system and wired the content lane to treat it as the shared voice source of truth instead of duplicating partial style heuristics across skills.
• 2026-04-01: Added connections-optimizer as the review-first social-graph reorganization workflow for X and LinkedIn, with explicit pruning modes, browser fallback expectations, and Apple Mail drafting guidance.
• 2026-04-01: Added manim-video as the reusable technical explainer lane and seeded it with a starter network-graph scene so launch and systems animations do not depend on one-off scratch scripts.
• 2026-04-02: Re-extracted social-graph-ranker as a standalone primitive because the weighted bridge-decay model is reusable outside the full lead workflow. lead-intelligence now points to it for canonical graph ranking instead of carrying the full algorithm explanation inline, while connections-optimizer stays the broader operator layer for pruning, adds, and outbound review packs.
• 2026-04-02: Applied the same consolidation rule to the writing lane. brand-voice remains the canonical voice system, while content-engine, crosspost, article-writing, and investor-outreach now keep only workflow-specific guidance instead of duplicating a second Affaan/ECC voice model or repeating the full ban list in multiple places.
• 2026-04-02: Closed fresh auto-generated bundle PRs #1182 and #1183 under the existing policy. Useful ideas from generator output must be ported manually into canonical repo surfaces instead of merging .claude/bundle PRs wholesale.
• 2026-04-02: Ported the safe one-file macOS observer fix from #1164 directly into main as a POSIX mkdir fallback for continuous-learning-v2 lazy-start locking, then closed the PR as superseded by direct port.
• 2026-04-02: Ported the safe core of #1153 directly into main: markdownlint cleanup for orchestration/docs surfaces plus the Windows USERPROFILE and path-normalization fixes in install-apply / repair tests. Local validation after installing repo deps: node tests/scripts/install-apply.test.js, node tests/scripts/repair.test.js, and targeted yarn markdownlint all passed.
• 2026-04-02: Direct-ported the safe web/frontend rules lane from #1122 into rules/web/, but adapted rules/web/hooks.md to prefer project-local tooling and avoid remote one-off package execution examples.
• 2026-04-02: Adapted the design-quality reminder from #1127 into the current ECC hook architecture with a local scripts/hooks/design-quality-check.js, Claude hooks/hooks.json wiring, Cursor after-file-edit.js wiring, and dedicated hook coverage in tests/hooks/design-quality-check.test.js.
• 2026-04-02: Fixed #1141 on main in 16e9b17. The observer lifecycle is now session-aware instead of purely detached: SessionStart writes a project-scoped lease, SessionEnd removes that lease and stops the observer when the final lease disappears, observe.sh records project activity, and observer-loop.sh now exits on idle when no leases remain. Targeted validation passed with bash -n, node tests/hooks/observer-memory.test.js, node tests/integration/hooks.test.js, node scripts/ci/validate-hooks.js hooks/hooks.json, and node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js.
• 2026-04-02: Fixed the remaining Windows-only hook regression behind #1070 by making scripts/lib/utils.js#getHomeDir() honor explicit HOME / USERPROFILE overrides before falling back to os.homedir(). This restores test-isolated observer state paths for hook integration runs on Windows. Added regression coverage in tests/lib/utils.test.js. Targeted validation passed with node tests/lib/utils.test.js, node tests/integration/hooks.test.js, node tests/hooks/observer-memory.test.js, and node scripts/ci/check-unicode-safety.js.
• 2026-04-02: Direct-ported NestJS support for #1022 into main as skills/nestjs-patterns/SKILL.md and wired it into the framework-language install module. Synced the repo catalog afterward (38 agents, 72 commands, 156 skills) and updated the docs so NestJS is no longer listed as an unfilled framework gap.
• 2026-04-05: Shipped 846ffb7 (chore: ship v1.10.0 release surface refresh). This updated README/plugin metadata/package versions, synced the explicit plugin agent inventory, bumped stale star/fork/contributor counts, created docs/releases/1.10.0/*, tagged and released v1.10.0, and posted the announcement discussion at #1272.
• 2026-04-05: Salvaged the reusable Hermes-branch operator skills in 6eba30f without replaying the full branch. Added skills/github-ops, skills/knowledge-ops, and skills/hookify-rules, wired them into install modules, and re-synced the repo to 159 skills. knowledge-ops was explicitly adapted to the current workspace model: live code in cloned repos, active truth in GitHub/Linear, broader non-code context in the KB/archive layers.
• 2026-04-05: Fixed the remaining OpenCode npm-publish gap in db6d52e. The root package now builds .opencode/dist during prepack, includes the compiled OpenCode plugin assets in the published tarball, and carries a dedicated regression test (tests/scripts/build-opencode.test.js) so the package no longer ships only raw TypeScript source for that surface.
• 2026-04-05: Added skills/council, direct-ported the safe code-tour lane from #1193, and re-synced the repo to 162 skills. code-tour stays self-contained and only produces .tours/*.tour artifacts with real file/line anchors; no external runtime or extension install is assumed inside the skill.
• 2026-04-05: Closed the latest auto-generated ECC bundle PR wave (#1275-#1281) after deploying ECC-Tools/main fix f615905, which now blocks repo-level issue-comment /analyze requests from opening repeated bundle PRs while still allowing PR-thread retry analysis to run against immutable head SHAs.
• 2026-04-05: Filled the SEO gap by direct-porting agents/seo-specialist.md and skills/seo/SKILL.md into main, then wiring skills/seo into business-content. This resolves the stale team-builder reference to an SEO specialist and brings the public catalog to 39 agents and 163 skills without merging the stale PR wholesale.
• 2026-04-05: Salvaged the useful common-rule deltas from #1214 directly into rules/common/coding-style.md and rules/common/testing.md (KISS/DRY/YAGNI reminders, naming conventions, code-smell guidance, and AAA-style test guidance), then closed the original mixed deletion PR. The broad skill removals in that PR were intentionally not replayed.
• 2026-04-05: Fixed the stale-row bug in .github/workflows/monthly-metrics.yml with bf5961e. The workflow now refreshes the current month row in issue #1087 instead of early-returning when the month already exists, and the dispatched run updated the April snapshot to the current star/fork/release counts.
• 2026-04-05: Recovered the useful cost-control workflow from the divergent Hermes branch as a small ECC-native operator skill instead of replaying the branch. skills/ecc-tools-cost-audit/SKILL.md is now wired into operator-workflows and focused on webhook -> queue -> worker tracing, burn containment, quota bypass, premium-model leakage, and retry fanout in the sibling ECC-Tools repo.
• 2026-04-05: Added skills/council/SKILL.md in 753da37 as an ECC-native four-voice decision workflow. The useful protocol from PR #1254 was retained, but the shadow ~/.claude/notes write path was explicitly removed in favor of knowledge-ops, /save-session, or direct GitHub/Linear updates when a decision delta matters.
• 2026-04-05: Direct-ported the safe globals bump from PR #1243 into main as part of the council lane and closed the PR as superseded.
• 2026-04-05: Closed PR #1232 after full audit. The proposed skill-scout workflow overlaps current search-first, /skill-create, and skill-stocktake; if a dedicated marketplace-discovery layer returns later it should be rebuilt on top of the current install/catalog model rather than landing as a parallel discovery path.
• 2026-04-05: Ported the safe localized README switcher fixes from PR #1209 directly into main rather than merging the docs PR wholesale. The navigation now consistently includes Português (Brasil) and Türkçe across the localized README switchers, while newer localized body copy stays intact.
• 2026-04-05: Salvaged the reusable Hermes-generated operator workflow lane without replaying the whole branch. Added six ECC-native top-level skills instead of the old nested skills/hermes-generated/* tree: automation-audit-ops, email-ops, finance-billing-ops, messages-ops, research-ops, and terminal-ops. research-ops now wraps the existing research stack, while the other five extend operator-workflows without introducing any external runtime assumptions.
