What it does

This skill gives an AI agent a summary of the coding conventions used in the ECC repository, such as the conventional commit message format, file and function naming, relative imports, try-catch error handling, and common change workflows. Once installed, the agent is more likely to write commits, tests, and code that match the existing style of that project. It is a reference document generated from analysis of past commits, not a tool that performs actions on its own.

Great for

  • Contributors making changes to the ECC repository who want commits and code to match its style
  • Developers who want an AI agent to follow ECC's conventional commit format
  • Maintainers reviewing whether a contribution follows the project's naming and test patterns

Skip it if

  • Projects other than ECC, since the conventions are specific to that repository and may be wrong elsewhere (the skill itself is generated from one repo's history)
  • Anyone expecting a precise test framework or lint setup, because the file says no specific test framework was detected and gives only general guidance

Try asking

  • “Write a commit message for my staged changes in the ECC repo”
  • “Add unit tests for this new helper function following the repo's test conventions”
  • “Review this diff for naming and import style consistent with ECC”
  • “Create a new skill folder following the repository's add-new-skill workflow”

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Point the agent at the specific ECC repository so it applies these conventions only where they belong.
  • Treat the testing and error-handling sections as general hints and check the existing test files before relying on them.
  • Ask the agent to show the commit message for review before committing.
