The agent harness performance optimization system.

What's new

Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.

Key details

  • Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond.
  • Language: English | Português (Brasil) | 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Türkçe | Русский | Tiếng Việt | ไทย | Deutsch | Español Warning Official sources only.
  • Install ECC only from verified channels: the GitHub repository github.com/affaan-m/ECC, the npm packages ecc-universal and ecc-agentshield, the GitHub App, the plugin slug ecc@ecc, and the project website ecc.tools.
  • Third-party re-uploads and unofficial mirrors are not maintained or reviewed by the project and may contain malware.

Results & evidence

  • 211.9K+ stars | 32.5K+ forks | 230+ contributors | 12+ language ecosystems | Cross-harness agent workflows Language / 语言 / 語言 / Dil / Язык / Ngôn ngữ / Idioma English | Português (Brasil) | 简体中文 | 繁體中文 | 日本語 | 한국어 | Türkçe | Русский | Tiếng Việt | ไทย | Deu...
  • Production-ready agents, skills, hooks, rules, MCP configurations, and legacy command shims evolved over 10+ months of intensive daily use building real products.
  • ECC v2.0.0 adds the public Hermes operator story on top of that reusable layer: start with the Hermes setup guide, then review the 2.0.0 release notes and cross-harness architecture.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

arXiv:2606.16663v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Money laundering through insurance claims poses a threat to insurers both through fraudulent payouts and reputational and regulatory risk.

What's new

To our knowledge, this is the first empirical study of machine learning for money laundering detection in insurance claims.

Key details

  • Despite this, little research has examined how such laundering can be prevented.
  • This paper examines whether machine learning can help insurers flag suspicious claims before payout, shifting the focus from passive reporting to active prevention.
  • Using production data from a major Norwegian insurer, we train gradient-boosted decision tree models to detect claims later reported to authorities for suspected money laundering.
  • Because fraud and laundering may share behavioural patterns, we also examine whether insurance fraud labels can serve as an auxiliary training signal.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2606.16663v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Money laundering through insurance claims poses a threat to insurers both through fraudulent payouts and reputational and regulatory risk.
  • The best-performing model captures nearly two-thirds of laundering cases within the top-ranked 2 to 6 percent of claims selected for investigation.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.
