configure-ecc — Claude Code skill: setup and install
This skill installs, updates, and reconfigures ECC in the current harness. Use it when changing install scope, hook mode, or a damaged setup.
npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill configure-ecc -a claude-codeWhat configure-ecc does
The skill first inventories the ECC installation, then collects a supported scope and hook mode. In Claude Code, the scope can be user, project, or local, while hooks can be off, minimal, standard, or strict. It previews the change, asks for one confirmation, applies explicit settings, and verifies the result.
Claude Code uses the bundled setup script or the ecc-universal package, with --move-scope for a scope migration. Codex follows its native plugin lifecycle and trust flow. In Kimi, the project surface is installed under ./.kimi-code. After verification, the skill can render the welcome and tell you to restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins.
Install it when ECC needs a controlled setup, update, repair, or scope change. It does not replace a provider's built-in first-install UI.
What it helps with
- inspect the current ECC installation
- move ECC between
user,project, andlocalscopes - change the Claude Code hook profile
- update or repair an ECC installation
- verify the configured plugin state
Example prompts for the agent
- Inspect ECC in Claude Code and show the proposed setup.
- Move ECC to the `project` scope with `standard` hooks.
- Refresh ECC through Codex's native plugin lifecycle and verify it.

Questions about configure-ecc
How do I install configure-ecc in Claude Code?
Run npx skills add affaan-m/ECC --skill configure-ecc -a claude-code. The skill file is placed at ~/.claude/skills/configure-ecc/SKILL.md.
What does configure-ecc do?
It inventories ECC, collects the install scope and hook mode, previews the change, applies it after one confirmation, and verifies the plugin state.
Does configure-ecc work with Codex and Kimi?
With Codex, it uses the native plugin lifecycle and does not map Claude Code hook profiles onto Codex. With Kimi, it installs the project surface under ./.kimi-code.

# Configure ECC
Run a conversational wizard inside the current harness. Inventory first, collect
only supported choices, preview, confirm once, apply non-interactively, verify,
and show the welcome only after success. Never clone ECC into a temporary
directory or copy plugin components by hand.
For a human-operated terminal, the canonical entry points are `ecc setup` and
`npx ecc-universal setup`. Inside a harness, use the explicit non-interactive
commands below instead.
## Route by the current harness
- In Claude Code, use the full scope-and-hook wizard below.
- In Codex, use Codex's native plugin lifecycle. Do not offer Claude scopes or
map ECC's four Claude hook profiles onto Codex.
- In Kimi, install the project surface under `./.kimi-code`. Kimi does not
provide ECC's Claude lifecycle-hook profiles.
- If the harness is uncertain, state the detected evidence and ask which
harness to configure before running a mutating command.
This skill is a post-install reconfiguration path. It cannot intercept or
replace a provider's built-in first-install UI.
## Claude Code: run the full conversational wizard
### 1. Inventory without changing anything
Run both commands and summarize the installed ECC scope, enabled state, and
marketplace source:
```bash
claude plugin list --json
claude plugin marketplace list --json
```
Treat a single existing `ecc@ecc` installation as a reconfiguration. Do not
interpret Claude's provider-owned "Open home page" control as installation
evidence. Stop and report the recovery returned by setup for multiple ECC
scopes, a legacy/manual install, malformed settings, or a marketplace collision;
never guess which state to delete.
### 2. Collect exactly two choices
Ask exactly one scope question and require one value:
- `user | project | local`
- `user` is global for this user.
- `project` is shared through repository settings.
- `local` is private to the current project.
Visually mark only the selected scope as selected or installing. If the user
chooses a different scope from a single existing install, describe it as a
scope migration and include `--move-scope` in the commands below.
Ask exactly one hook-mode question and require one value:
- `off | minimal | standard | strict`
- `off` keeps skills and commands but disables ECC hook automation.
- `minimal` enables the lightest lifecycle and safety automation.
- `standard` balances quality and safety automation.
- `strict` enables the strongest checks and reminders.
Hook preference is personal Claude plugin configuration; it does not follow
the selected install scope.
### 3. Preview and confirm once
Prefer the plugin-bundled setup script. Substitute the two selected values and
include `--move-scope` only for a scope migration:
```bash
node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup.js" --mode claude-plugin \
--scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --dry-run --json
```
If `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is unavailable, use the published npm package:
```bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc setup --mode claude-plugin \
--scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --dry-run --json
```
Show exactly one confirmation summary containing the planned action, one scope,
one hook mode, marketplace action, and any source-to-destination migration.
Ask one yes/no question. Do not run a bare interactive `ecc setup` through a
harness shell tool because that shell is commonly non-TTY.
### 4. Apply the explicit choices
After confirmation, rerun the same route without `--dry-run`. Keep every choice
explicit and request JSON so success can be checked deterministically:
```bash
node "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/setup.js" --mode claude-plugin \
--scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --yes --json
```
Fallback:
```bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc setup --mode claude-plugin \
--scope <scope> --hooks <hooks> [--move-scope] --yes --json
```
### 5. Verify, then render the welcome
Require a zero exit status and a setup result whose `scope` and `hooks` equal
the selected values. Then independently run:
```bash
claude plugin list --json
```
Continue only when exactly one enabled `ecc@ecc` entry exists at the selected
scope. When `$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT` is available, pass the successful setup
`action` (`installed`, `updated`, `migrated`, `resumed`, or
`already-migrated`) to the bundled renderer:
Before invoking it, require the provider-reported version to match
`ECC_VERSION_PATTERN` from `scripts/lib/terminal-welcome.js`. Reject unexpected
version text instead of interpolating it into a shell command.
```bash
node -e 'const { renderTerminalWelcome } = require(process.env.CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT + "/scripts/lib/terminal-welcome"); process.stdout.write(renderTerminalWelcome({ action: process.argv[1], version: process.argv[2], color: process.stdout.isTTY }));' "<action>" "<installed-version>"
```
Render the welcome exactly once. On failure, dry-run, cancellation, a scope or
hook mismatch, or unverifiable state, do not render it; report the error and
recovery instead. After verified changes, tell the user to run
`/reload-plugins` or restart Claude Code.
## Codex: use the native plugin lifecycle
Inventory with `codex plugin marketplace list --json` and
`codex plugin list --available --json`. Codex's native plugin command has no
Claude-style `user | project | local` selector. Codex native plugins do support
provider-specific hooks, but Codex requires explicit trust for them. Let Codex
show that trust decision; do not ask the Claude four-profile hook question or
claim those profiles map to Codex.
If the ECC marketplace is missing, add it. Otherwise refresh its snapshot:
```bash
codex plugin marketplace add affaan-m/ECC
codex plugin marketplace upgrade ecc --json
```
Ask for one confirmation, then install or idempotently refresh the installed
cache and verify it:
```bash
codex plugin add ecc@ecc --json
codex plugin list --json
```
Continue only when the JSON reports ECC installed and provides its
`installedPath`. Then render the verified bundle's welcome:
Use only the exact absolute `installedPath` returned by Codex JSON. Reject
control characters and require the installed version to match
`ECC_VERSION_PATTERN`. Invoke `node` directly with this argument array; this is
a tool API invocation, not a shell command:
```text
["<installedPath>/scripts/welcome.js", "--action", "configured", "--version", "<installed-version>"]
```
If the current harness cannot invoke an executable with a separate argument
array, skip the welcome. Never construct a shell command from Codex JSON values.
Never claim that Claude's `off | minimal | standard | strict` profiles were
applied to Codex.
## Kimi: install the project surface
State the capability summary before confirmation: destination
`./.kimi-code`; `hooks=unsupported` for ECC lifecycle hooks. Do not ask the
Claude scope or hook-mode questions. Preview first:
```bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc install --profile core --target kimi --dry-run
```
Show one confirmation for that project destination, then apply the identical
command without `--dry-run`. Verify with:
```bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc doctor --target kimi
```
Only after doctor succeeds and the installed instructions and skills remain
inside `./.kimi-code`, render:
```bash
npx --yes --package ecc-universal ecc welcome --action configured
```
Do not claim that Kimi installed or configured ECC lifecycle hooks.
