Configure Everything Claude Code (ECC)

An interactive, step-by-step installation wizard for the Everything Claude Code project. Uses AskUserQuestion to guide users through selective installation of skills and rules, then verifies correctness and offers optimization.

Maestro Integration

Lifecycle: cross-cutting Activates when: maestro:new-track detects relevant tech in tech-stack.md, or maestro:implement encounters matching task types.

Phase Guidance

In maestro:cross-cutting: Use during project setup to install and configure relevant skills. Guides through skill selection and path configuration.

  • maestro:continuous-learning

Prerequisites

This skill must be accessible to Claude Code before activation. Two ways to bootstrap:

  1. Via Plugin: /plugin install everything-claude-code — the plugin loads this skill automatically
  2. Manual: Copy only this skill to ~/.claude/skills/configure-ecc/SKILL.md, then activate by saying "configure ecc"

Step 0: Clone ECC Repository

Before any installation, clone the latest ECC source to /tmp:

rm -rf /tmp/everything-claude-code
git clone https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code.git /tmp/everything-claude-code

Set ECC_ROOT=/tmp/everything-claude-code as the source for all subsequent copy operations.

If the clone fails (network issues, etc.), use AskUserQuestion to ask the user to provide a local path to an existing ECC clone.

Step 1: Choose Installation Level

Use AskUserQuestion to ask the user where to install:

Question: "Where should ECC components be installed?"
Options:
  - "User-level (~/.claude/)" — "Applies to all your Claude Code projects"
  - "Project-level (.claude/)" — "Applies only to the current project"
  - "Both" — "Common/shared items user-level, project-specific items project-level"

Store the choice as INSTALL_LEVEL. Set the target directory:

  • User-level: TARGET=~/.claude
  • Project-level: TARGET=.claude (relative to current project root)
  • Both: TARGET_USER=~/.claude, TARGET_PROJECT=.claude

Create the target directories if they don't exist:

mkdir -p $TARGET/skills $TARGET/rules

Step 2: Select & Install Skills

2a: Choose Scope (Core vs Niche)

Default to Core (recommended for new users) — copy .agents/skills/* plus skills/search-first/ for research-first workflows. This bundle covers engineering, evals, verification, security, strategic compaction, frontend design, and Anthropic cross-functional skills (article-writing, content-engine, market-research, frontend-slides).

Use AskUserQuestion (single select):

Question: "Install core skills only, or include niche/framework packs?"
Options:
  - "Core only (recommended)" — "tdd, e2e, evals, verification, research-first, security, frontend patterns, compacting, cross-functional Anthropic skills"
  - "Core + selected niche" — "Add framework/domain-specific skills after core"
  - "Niche only" — "Skip core, install specific framework/domain skills"
Default: Core only

If the user chooses niche or core + niche, continue to category selection below and only include those niche skills they pick.

2b: Choose Skill Categories

There are 27 skills organized into 4 categories. Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true:

Question: "Which skill categories do you want to install?"
Options:
  - "Framework & Language" — "Django, Spring Boot, Go, Python, Java, Frontend, Backend patterns"
  - "Database" — "PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, JPA/Hibernate patterns"
  - "Workflow & Quality" — "TDD, verification, learning, security review, compaction"
  - "All skills" — "Install every available skill"

2c: Confirm Individual Skills

For each selected category, print the full list of skills below and ask the user to confirm or deselect specific ones. If the list exceeds 4 items, print the list as text and use AskUserQuestion with an "Install all listed" option plus "Other" for the user to paste specific names.

| Skill | Description | |-------|-------------| | project-guidelines-example | Template for creating project-specific skills |

2d: Execute Installation

For each selected skill, copy the entire skill directory:

cp -r $ECC_ROOT/skills/<skill-name> $TARGET/skills/

Note: continuous-learning and continuous-learning-v2 have extra files (config.json, hooks, scripts) — ensure the entire directory is copied, not just SKILL.md.

Step 3: Select & Install Rules

Use AskUserQuestion with multiSelect: true:

Question: "Which rule sets do you want to install?"
Options:
  - "Common rules (Recommended)" — "Language-agnostic principles: coding style, git workflow, testing, security, etc. (8 files)"
  - "TypeScript/JavaScript" — "TS/JS patterns, hooks, testing with Playwright (5 files)"
  - "Python" — "Python patterns, pytest, black/ruff formatting (5 files)"
  - "Go" — "Go patterns, table-driven tests, gofmt/staticcheck (5 files)"

Execute installation:

# Common rules (flat copy into rules/)
cp -r $ECC_ROOT/rules/common/* $TARGET/rules/

# Language-specific rules (flat copy into rules/)
cp -r $ECC_ROOT/rules/typescript/* $TARGET/rules/   # if selected
cp -r $ECC_ROOT/rules/python/* $TARGET/rules/        # if selected
cp -r $ECC_ROOT/rules/golang/* $TARGET/rules/        # if selected

Important: If the user selects any language-specific rules but NOT common rules, warn them:

"Language-specific rules extend the common rules. Installing without common rules may result in incomplete coverage. Install common rules too?"

Step 4: Post-Installation Verification

After installation, perform these automated checks:

4a: Verify File Existence

List all installed files and confirm they exist at the target location:

ls -la $TARGET/skills/
ls -la $TARGET/rules/

4b: Check Path References

Scan all installed .md files for path references:

grep -rn "~/.claude/" $TARGET/skills/ $TARGET/rules/
grep -rn "../common/" $TARGET/rules/
grep -rn "skills/" $TARGET/skills/

For project-level installs, flag any references to ~/.claude/ paths:

  • If a skill references ~/.claude/settings.json — this is usually fine (settings are always user-level)
  • If a skill references ~/.claude/skills/ or ~/.claude/rules/ — this may be broken if installed only at project level
  • If a skill references another skill by name — check that the referenced skill was also installed

4c: Check Cross-References Between Skills

Some skills reference others. Verify these dependencies:

  • django-tdd may reference django-patterns
  • springboot-tdd may reference springboot-patterns
  • continuous-learning-v2 references ~/.claude/homunculus/ directory
  • python-testing may reference python-patterns
  • golang-testing may reference golang-patterns
  • Language-specific rules reference common/ counterparts

4d: Report Issues

For each issue found, report:

  1. File: The file containing the problematic reference
  2. Line: The line number
  3. Issue: What's wrong (e.g., "references ~/.claude/skills/python-patterns but python-patterns was not installed")
  4. Suggested fix: What to do (e.g., "install python-patterns skill" or "update path to .claude/skills/")

Step 5: Optimize Installed Files (Optional)

Use AskUserQuestion:

Question: "Would you like to optimize the installed files for your project?"
Options:
  - "Optimize skills" — "Remove irrelevant sections, adjust paths, tailor to your tech stack"
  - "Optimize rules" — "Adjust coverage targets, add project-specific patterns, customize tool configs"
  - "Optimize both" — "Full optimization of all installed files"
  - "Skip" — "Keep everything as-is"

If optimizing skills:

  1. Read each installed SKILL.md
  2. Ask the user what their project's tech stack is (if not already known)
  3. For each skill, suggest removals of irrelevant sections
  4. Edit the SKILL.md files in-place at the installation target (NOT the source repo)
  5. Fix any path issues found in Step 4

If optimizing rules:

  1. Read each installed rule .md file
  2. Ask the user about their preferences:
    • Test coverage target (default 80%)
    • Preferred formatting tools
    • Git workflow conventions
    • Security requirements
  3. Edit the rule files in-place at the installation target

Critical: Only modify files in the installation target ($TARGET/), NEVER modify files in the source ECC repository ($ECC_ROOT/).

Step 6: Installation Summary

Clean up the cloned repository from /tmp:

rm -rf /tmp/everything-claude-code

Then print a summary report:

## ECC Installation Complete

### Installation Target
- Level: [user-level / project-level / both]
- Path: [target path]

### Skills Installed ([count])
- skill-1, skill-2, skill-3, ...

### Rules Installed ([count])
- common (8 files)
- typescript (5 files)
- ...

### Verification Results
- [count] issues found, [count] fixed
- [list any remaining issues]

### Optimizations Applied
- [list changes made, or "None"]

Troubleshooting

"Skills not being picked up by Claude Code"

  • Verify the skill directory contains a SKILL.md file (not just loose .md files)
  • For user-level: check ~/.claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md exists
  • For project-level: check .claude/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md exists

"Rules not working"

  • Rules are flat files, not in subdirectories: $TARGET/rules/coding-style.md (correct) vs $TARGET/rules/common/coding-style.md (incorrect for flat install)
  • Restart Claude Code after installing rules

"Path reference errors after project-level install"

  • Some skills assume ~/.claude/ paths. Run Step 4 verification to find and fix these.
  • For continuous-learning-v2, the ~/.claude/homunculus/ directory is always user-level — this is expected and not an error.
