ECC Tools
ECC Tools is the hosted GitHub App for rolling ECC into real repositories. It analyzes repo history and agent-related config, then opens pull requests with project-specific skills, rules, hooks, commands, manifests, and safety checks for AI coding agents. It also runs PR audits, security scans, and selective rollout planning so teams can adopt ECC repo by repo instead of installing everything at once.
