ECC - This Open Source GitHub Project Makes Claude Code/Codex 10x Smarter — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hey guys, welcome back to another new
- 0:01exciting video, another new great open
- 0:03source repository, and its name is ECC,
- 0:07and it is made by this person Affan. And
- 0:11here you see that this repository can
- 0:13help you to make your AI agent more
- 0:16smarter. On the right-hand side, you
- 0:18will find this description, the agent
- 0:20harness performance optimization system,
- 0:23skills, instincts, memory, security, and
- 0:26research first development for Cloud
- 0:29Code Codex, Open Code, Carts,
- 0:31and beyond. Means all of the AI coding
- 0:33assistant that we have, there you can
- 0:35use this skill ECC, and you can get a
- 0:38great help.
- 0:40If I tell you about this ECC in a little
- 0:43bit more
- 0:45descriptive way, so it is not a software
- 0:47application or library in a traditional
- 0:49sense, it is a developer toolkit and
- 0:53operating framework for AI coding
- 0:55assistant. Its goal is to make AI agents
- 0:58such as Cloud Code Codex, Carts, GitHub
- 1:01Copilot, Gemini, Open Code, and others
- 1:04work more effectively by giving them
- 1:06reusable workflows, rules, memory,
- 1:09security checks, and specialized roles.
- 1:12So, in simple terms, let's say you have
- 1:15hired a team of software engineer, but
- 1:17instead of giving them only a laptop,
- 1:20you can also provide coding standard,
- 1:23security checklist, specialized expert
- 1:26like architect, reviewer, tester, and
- 1:28also documentation, a templates,
- 1:31automated quality checks, and also the
- 1:33shared knowledge from the previous
- 1:35project. So, ECC does the equivalent for
- 1:38this AI coding agents.
- 1:40Now, if you go to this repository there,
- 1:43you will find many folders. Like here
- 1:45you see hooks, and also this context,
- 1:49and also agent, and also if you scroll
- 1:52down, you will find these rules. Inside
- 1:55this
- 1:56rules agent folder, you will find the
- 1:58predefined agent and also predefined
- 2:01rules. Let's say if I go inside the
- 2:04agents folder, then you will find this
- 2:07agent evaluator architect and chief of
- 2:10staff, code explorer, code architect,
- 2:12code reviewer. All of these are the MD
- 2:14files. And
- 2:16they are doing the different different
- 2:18task like architecture planning, code
- 2:20review, skill security auditing,
- 2:22refactoring, documentation, test-driven
- 2:25development, build error resolution.
- 2:28And if I show you the skills folder, so
- 2:31if you scroll down, you will find the
- 2:32skills.
- 2:33Reusable workflows that teach an AI how
- 2:37to perform the complex task
- 2:39consistently. Means this self-evaluation
- 2:43or let's say agentic engineering,
- 2:44agentic OS, Angular developer. These are
- 2:47kind of skills.
- 2:49Now, if I go back and here you see that
- 2:52rules folder. So, inside this rule
- 2:54folder, you will find the
- 2:56language-specific coding conventions and
- 2:59best practices for ecosystem such as
- 3:02TypeScript, Python, Go, PHP, Java, C++,
- 3:06Rust, Kotlin, Flutter, and more. And if
- 3:10I go back, there you will find another
- 3:12folder which is the hooks. So, here is
- 3:14the hooks folder and if I go inside,
- 3:17here you see that memory persistent and
- 3:19hooks.json. What they will do that
- 3:22automatic actions trigger before or
- 3:24after operation such as running the
- 3:26linters, preventing unsafe commands, and
- 3:29reminding about the testing, enforcing
- 3:31project standard. Let's say you have
- 3:33written a code and there you have forgot
- 3:36to do the linting, then it will remind
- 3:38you to that
- 3:40linting process and it will run that
- 3:42linters automatically. Okay.
- 3:45And
- 3:46if I go back, here you see that there
- 3:48are a lot of lot of things are there.
- 3:50Okay.
- 3:52And another thing is that it is a cloud
- 3:56platform support means
- 3:58it is ECC's the distinguishing feature
- 4:00is that it aims to work across multiple
- 4:03AI coding environments rather than being
- 4:06tied to a single assistant. Means with
- 4:08any of the
- 4:10AI coding agent that you know or that
- 4:12you use every day, you can use there.
- 4:15Okay? And also it has the security
- 4:17features like vulnerability scanning and
- 4:20securing the coding rules, configuration
- 4:23validation, protection against prompt or
- 4:25tool poisoning, and uh
- 4:28automated security review workflows,
- 4:30etc. etc. Okay?
- 4:32And now if I scroll down below here, you
- 4:35will find the uh this details like plan,
- 4:38test, implement, review, verify,
- 4:40remember, etc. etc. Now, how do you use
- 4:42it? Now, with cloud code it is very
- 4:44simple and uh here you see if you just
- 4:47do this {slash} plugin marketplace add,
- 4:50then it will add that. Just copy that
- 4:52and inside cloud code here, you can uh
- 4:55paste it and uh
- 4:57press enter and here you see that adding
- 5:00this to the marketplace.
- 5:02And when it will add that, after that we
- 5:05have to run this {slash} plugin install
- 5:08to use it. Now, copy this and inside
- 5:11here, you see successfully added to the
- 5:13marketplace. Now, we have to install it.
- 5:16Now,
- 5:17what you will do that copy Let me just
- 5:20copy it properly. {slash} plugin
- 5:22install. Okay?
- 5:25{slash} plugin install ECC. So, now it
- 5:28is asking me to install it for you or
- 5:30for all of the collaborators. So,
- 5:32currently I will uh install it for me
- 5:34only. Installing.
- 5:36And after this it will ask you to reload
- 5:39the plugin. So, let's wait for that.
- 5:42And uh here you see for codex also they
- 5:46have given the the process. This is the
- 5:49same process that you have to do. And
- 5:51also, uh for Codex plugin marketplace,
- 5:53this is currently experimental. You can
- 5:55do these things the same way.
- 5:57And for other agents here, you see
- 5:59Cursor, Open Code, Gemini. If you just
- 6:02open it, then you will find the same
- 6:04thing, okay?
- 6:06The process can be different from for
- 6:07the different different AI code editor.
- 6:09You can follow that. But, I'm just
- 6:12showing you for the cloud code only.
- 6:14And uh here you see, if I just uh reload
- 6:17the plugin, then you you can uh use it.
- 6:21And now, let's say {slash} ECC, and here
- 6:24you see a lot of things are appearing,
- 6:27like ECC create a GitHub PR, and ECCK
- 6:30power project memory for cloud code, and
- 6:33a lot of things. Now, if I take you to
- 6:35the uh GitHub and scroll down, here you
- 6:38see a lot of things, like {slash} code
- 6:40review, {slash} build fix, {slash}
- 6:43refactor clean, {slash} contest budget.
- 6:45And also, uh if I show you the another
- 6:48prompt,
- 6:49here you see this one, test-driven
- 6:51development. This is a very popular
- 6:52technique. So, just try this {slash} ECC
- 6:55and uh give this. Means, let's say you
- 6:58want to add a feature in your existing
- 7:00project, then write this add usage-based
- 7:02billing alerts. And after that, all of
- 7:05this. Write this. Implement until the
- 7:08green means it is uh green
- 7:11uh in your billing system. Review from
- 7:13fresh context. Fix findings integration
- 7:15test. Means, until you are getting the
- 7:17satisfaction or until your feature
- 7:20getting added to your project, you can
- 7:23just uh build it and test it. And uh in
- 7:26the form of loop, run it, okay? So, this
- 7:29is the command. It will do that
- 7:30automatically. Here you see, our result
- 7:32is not just a code, it is a trail of
- 7:34evidence, the plan failing test, the
- 7:35passing test, the review findings, and
- 7:37the final verification.
- 7:39So, So hope that you got the idea that
- 7:41why this ECC actually a great great
- 7:44repository and and it is completely open
- 7:46source. Please make Please use it and
- 7:49here you see
- 7:50till the time
- 7:52I am making this video it has got
- 7:53already 236k stars. So this is a very
- 7:56very popular repository.
- 7:58Okay, so I hope that you have found this
- 8:00video helpful guys. If you have found
- 8:02helpful and if you want to get this kind
- 8:05of videos more, don't forget to
- 8:07subscribe this channel, don't forget to
- 8:08like this video. And see you guys in the
- 8:11next video. Thanks for watching video
