Affaan Mustafa d70bab85e3 feat: add Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode harnesses — maximize every AI coding tool
- AGENTS.md: universal cross-tool file read by Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode
- .cursor/: 15 hook events via hooks.json, 16 hook scripts with DRY adapter pattern,
  29 rules (9 common + 20 language-specific) with Cursor YAML frontmatter
- .codex/: reference config.toml, Codex-specific AGENTS.md supplement,
  10 skills ported to .agents/skills/ with openai.yaml metadata
- .opencode/: 3 new tools (format-code, lint-check, git-summary), 3 new hooks
  (shell.env, experimental.session.compacting, permission.ask), expanded instructions,
  version bumped to 1.6.0
- README: fixed Cursor section, added Codex section, added cross-tool parity table
- install.sh: now copies hooks.json + hooks/ for --target cursor

ECC coding style: immutability, file organization, error handling, validation true

Coding Style

Immutability (CRITICAL)

ALWAYS create new objects, NEVER mutate existing ones:

// Pseudocode
WRONG:  modify(original, field, value) → changes original in-place
CORRECT: update(original, field, value) → returns new copy with change

Rationale: Immutable data prevents hidden side effects, makes debugging easier, and enables safe concurrency.

File Organization

MANY SMALL FILES > FEW LARGE FILES:

  • High cohesion, low coupling
  • 200-400 lines typical, 800 max
  • Extract utilities from large modules
  • Organize by feature/domain, not by type

Error Handling

ALWAYS handle errors comprehensively:

  • Handle errors explicitly at every level
  • Provide user-friendly error messages in UI-facing code
  • Log detailed error context on the server side
  • Never silently swallow errors

Input Validation

ALWAYS validate at system boundaries:

  • Validate all user input before processing
  • Use schema-based validation where available
  • Fail fast with clear error messages
  • Never trust external data (API responses, user input, file content)

Code Quality Checklist

Before marking work complete:

  • Code is readable and well-named
  • Functions are small (<50 lines)
  • Files are focused (<800 lines)
  • No deep nesting (>4 levels)
  • Proper error handling
  • No hardcoded values (use constants or config)
  • No mutation (immutable patterns used)
