# ECC

> ECC bundles 71 agents, 311 skills, command shims, hooks, rules, memory, continuous learning and the AgentShield security scanner into one install for coding agents. Claude Code is the main target; Codex and Qoder have native plugins, while Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot and others get limited adapters. Needs Node.js 18+, Git and a coding agent with its paid plan or API key (custom or self-hosted model endpoints work through the agent). MIT licence; a paid ECC Pro GitHub App for private repos is optional. Native Windows has open defects. It does not replace a paid product.
