ECC (Full Engineering Settings Catalog)
A complete, months-in-the-making personal Claude Code settings repository from an Anthropic hackathon winner, meant to be browsed as a catalog and cherry-picked from rather than installed wholesale.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Great question. There are a lot of settings out there that people use, and some might work for your workflow while others won't. You could browse some repositories and see what catches your eye. Some people use hooks for session management, others focus on automation. It really comes down to what your specific needs are. I'd recommend looking at different configurations and trying a few things to see what sticks. You might want to start with something simple and gradually add more complexity as you get comfortable.
CHERRY-PICK APPROACH STEP 1: INSTALL CORE → Install the plugin first (verified, minimal dependencies) STEP 2: BROWSE CATALOG → Security scan hook (detects permission issues, misconfigs) → Session-end memory hook (persists learnings across sessions) → Pre-commit code review trigger (lints before git) → Bash allowlist updater (reduces permission prompts) → Daily standup formatter (organizes daily notes) STEP 3: SELECTIVE ADOPTION → Add ONLY hooks matching your workflow → Example: security + memory for analyst; code review + pre-commit for devs RECOMMENDED STARTER SET • Session memory hook (immediate value) • Security audit (protects your setup) • One workflow hook (pick yours) NEXT ACTIONS → Copy hooks into settings.json → Test one hook, commit, iterate → Skip pieces that don't apply

ECC (Full Engineering Settings Catalog)
Built by an Anthropic hackathon winner and easily the most-starred repo in this roundup. Unlike smaller curated skill sets, ECC is an entire multi-month personal configuration dump — hooks for session-end memory, a security scan that audits your own Claude setup, and dozens of other pieces. The creator's own guidance is to install the plugin for core functionality first, then browse the rest of the repo like a catalog, pulling in only the specific pieces relevant to your workflow rather than adopting the whole thing at once.
What you get
- Massive real-world settings catalog to browse and cherry-pick from, includes session-end memory hooks and a self-auditing security scan, core plugin installable immediately with the rest available à la carte.
Customize your output
- Browse the repo and selectively adopt individual hooks/configs rather than installing everything — the creator explicitly recommends this approach.
Example output
Installed the core plugin, then separately adopted just the security-scan hook and the session-end memory hook from the broader catalog rather than the full settings dump.
Best for
Experienced developers wanting to see a real, battle-tested full Claude Code configuration to selectively borrow from rather than a single-purpose skill.

# ECC (Full Engineering Settings Catalog)
A large personal-configuration catalog for Claude Code, meant to be browsed piece by piece rather than installed wholesale — session-end memory hooks, a self-auditing security scan, and dozens of other individual settings pieces.
