Auditing ECC: 68 Agents, 293 Skills, and the 43 Kiro Copies Frozen Five Releases Ago

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

affaan-m/ECC is the largest agent-harness project to come out of 2026. It calls itself “the agent harness performance optimization system” and promises skills, instincts, memory, security and research-first development across Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Gemini, Zed and a dozen other tools.

The numbers are not small. 272,248 stars, 40,652 forks, 371 contributors, 3,043 commits and 19 releases since the repository was created on 18 January 2026 — an average of 1,051 stars per day and 20 commits per day in the last week, 93 of the newest 100 commits from the maintainer alone. Its npm package has been downloaded 42,491 times in the last 30 days, and its separate security auditor, ecc-agentshield, 46,012 times — the scanner out-downloads the toolkit.

Auditing the Caveman Skill: 109,102 Stars, a 65% Headline, and the 3% Its Own Eval Publishes

Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

JuliusBrussee/caveman is the loudest token-saving project of 2026. Its GitHub description reads: “Viral skill + proxy for coding agents that cuts 65% of tokens by talking like a caveman.” It has 109,102 stars, 6,315 forks, 71 contributors and 346,877 release-asset downloads. Its top Hacker News thread hit 904 points and 366 comments one day after the repository was created. It shipped 42 releases. JetBrains built a three-part benchmark series around it.

So I cloned it at commit 8af1f1b (3 October 2026, 00:38Z), measured the repository, ran its own evaluation harness against its own committed data, ran its own compression benchmark against its own fixtures, read the source of its telemetry receiver and audited its CI workflows.
