ECC Recipes

One entry point for "which group of ECC slash-commands runs my workflow, in what order, and when do I stop." Also browses every command-group recipe family.

Fills the gap between two existing skills:

• ecc-guide — lists commands and where to read docs, but as a flat catalog.
• prompt-optimizer — matches a task to components, but outputs a single prompt, not a multi-command group with run-order and stop condition.

This skill adds: family grouping + run-order + stop condition.

When to Activate

• "Which command group do I run for <workflow>?"
• "What's the command sequence to build an MVP / fix a defect / refactor?"
• "Show me all ECC command-group recipes" (catalog mode)
• "How many workflow pipelines does ECC have?"
• User invokes /ecc-recipes with or without a description.

Do Not Use When

• User wants the task done now — route to the actual command, don't describe it.
• User wants deep docs for ONE command — use ecc-guide.
• User wants a draft prompt rewritten — use prompt-optimizer.

Core Principle

Answer from current files, not memory. The command set changes; never hardcode counts or member lists. Read the live commands/ directory each run, then classify into families.

Live reads

Resolve the commands directory (first that exists), then list names:

for D in \
  "$HOME"/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/ecc/commands \
  "$HOME"/.claude/plugins/cache/ecc/ecc/*/commands \
  ./commands \
  ./.claude/commands \
  "$HOME"/.claude/commands; do
  [ -d "$D" ] && CMD_DIR="$D" && break
done
[ -z "${CMD_DIR:-}" ] && { echo "No ECC commands directory found."; return 1; }
find "$CMD_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -name '*.md' -exec basename {} .md \; | sort

Optionally read manifests/install-*.json if present for richer grouping. Use the smallest set of reads needed.

Family Classification (by prefix)

Group command names by leading prefix; map known singletons by hand. Families are derived live — the table below is the classification rule, not a frozen list.

Any command not matching a prefix rule → list it under singletons with its one-line description.

How It Works

1. Live-read command names from CMD_DIR.
2. Classify into families by prefix and a singleton map.
3. If a workflow description was given -> MATCH MODE.
   If none -> CATALOG MODE.
4. Advisory only: print the plan. Never run the matched commands.

Catalog mode (no description)

Output the family table: each family, member count, members, one-line meaning, typical run-order. End with the total command count and a prompt to describe a workflow for a matched recipe.

Match mode (description given)

1. Restate the workflow in one sentence.
2. Pick the best 1-2 families; say WHY in one line each.
3. Run-order block — exact command sequence for the matched family.
4. Stop condition — always explicit (max-runs, completion-signal, review-passes, or single-shot). For autonomous loops, warn about subscription burn and recommend a backstop bound.
5. Where to read — the commands/<name>.md path plus /ecc-guide <name>.
