Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ECC — Agent Instructions

This is a **production-ready AI coding plugin** providing 71 specialized agents, 314 skills, 98 commands, and automated hook workflows for software development.

**Version:** 2.2.3

## Core Principles

1. **Agent-First** — Delegate to specialized agents for domain tasks
2. **Test-Driven** — Write tests before implementation, 80%+ coverage required
3. **Security-First** — Never compromise on security; validate all inputs
4. **Immutability** — Always create new objects, never mutate existing ones
5. **Plan Before Execute** — Plan complex features before writing code

## Available Agents

| Agent | Purpose | When to Use |
|-------|---------|-------------|
| planner | Implementation planning | Complex features, refactoring |
| architect | System design and scalability | Architectural decisions |
| tdd-guide | Test-driven development | New features, bug fixes |
| code-reviewer | Code quality and maintainability | After writing/modifying code |
| bengali-reviewer | Bengali text review | Unicode, normalization, grapheme, search, and locale correctness |
| security-reviewer | Vulnerability detection | Before commits, sensitive code |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add affaan-m/ecc/AGENTS.md@sha256:eeb64c9e34bbf838

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.f29e332, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
