ECC v2.0.0-rc.1 Naming And Publication Matrix

Snapshot date: 2026-05-12.

This matrix answers the release question "ship as Everything Claude Code, ECC, or a renamed surface?" for the rc.1 lane. It is evidence for planning, not a publication action.

Decision

For v2.0.0-rc.1, keep the public identity as Everything Claude Code (ECC). Use ECC as the short product name in copy, plugin slugs, status surfaces, and diagrams, but do not rename the GitHub repo, npm package, or package entry points before the rc.1 release.

Reason:

• the current install surface already works as ecc-universal plus the ecc plugin slug;
• the exact npm package name ecc is already occupied by an unrelated elliptic curve cryptography package;
• the repo name affaan-m/ecc is not present, but renaming affaan-m/everything-claude-code before rc.1 would create avoidable URL, package, docs, and marketplace churn;
• Claude and Codex plugin surfaces are already short enough as ecc;
• rc.1 should prove the release, plugin, and publication pipeline before any broader brand migration.

Current Values

Surface	Current value	Evidence command	2026-05-12 result	Release decision
Product display name	Everything Claude Code	rg -n "Everything Claude Code" README.md CHANGELOG.md docs/releases/2.0.0-rc.1	Present across README, release notes, launch copy, and plugin manifests	Keep for rc.1
Short name	ECC	README/release docs	Used as the short cross-harness brand	Keep and prefer in tight copy
GitHub repo	affaan-m/everything-claude-code	git remote get-url origin	https://github.com/affaan-m/everything-claude-code.git	Keep for rc.1
Possible short repo	affaan-m/ecc	gh repo view affaan-m/ecc	Not found with current auth	Candidate after rc.1 only
npm package	ecc-universal	node -p "require('./package.json').name"	ecc-universal	Keep for rc.1
npm package version	2.0.0-rc.1 local, 1.10.0 registry latest	node -p "require('./package.json').version" and npm view ecc-universal name version dist-tags --json	Local rc.1 is ready; registry latest remains 1.10.0	Publish rc as next, not latest
Exact npm short name	ecc	npm view ecc name version description repository.url --json	Occupied by ecc@0.0.2, "Elliptic curve cryptography functions."	Do not use
Scoped npm short name	@affaan-m/ecc	npm view @affaan-m/ecc name version --json	Registry 404	Possible future scoped package if npm scope policy permits
Former package name	everything-claude-code	npm view everything-claude-code name version dist-tags --json	Registry reports unpublished on 2026-02-07	Do not revive for rc.1
Claude plugin slug	ecc	node -p "require('./.claude-plugin/plugin.json').name"	ecc	Keep
Claude plugin version	2.0.0-rc.1	claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json	Validation passed on Claude Code 2.1.121	Ready for release-tag gate
Claude marketplace entry	ecc	.claude-plugin/marketplace.json	Version and repo point at current rc.1 surface	Keep
Codex plugin slug	ecc	node -p "require('./.codex-plugin/plugin.json').name"	ecc	Keep
Codex plugin version	2.0.0-rc.1	node tests/docs/ecc2-release-surface.test.js	Release surface test passed	Ready for Codex marketplace/manual marketplace gate
OpenCode package	ecc-universal	node -p "require('./.opencode/package.json').name"	ecc-universal	Keep
OpenCode build	Generated package output	npm run build:opencode	Passed	Ready for package dry-run gate
npm pack surface	Reduced runtime package	npm pack --dry-run --json	Produced ecc-universal-2.0.0-rc.1.tgz, 969 entries, about 5.0 MB unpacked	Needs final release-commit rerun

Publication Paths

Path	Current evidence	Required next action	Blocker
GitHub release	docs/releases/2.0.0-rc.1/ and release notes are in-tree	Re-run required command evidence from the final release commit, then create/verify v2.0.0-rc.1 prerelease	No tag/release yet
npm	ecc-universal local package version is 2.0.0-rc.1; registry latest is 1.10.0	Publish rc with npm publish --tag next after final npm pack --dry-run and release tests	Do not publish before final release commit
Claude plugin	claude plugin validate .claude-plugin/plugin.json passed; claude plugin tag --help confirms the release tag flow creates {name}--v{version} tags and can push them	Run claude plugin tag .claude-plugin --dry-run from the clean release commit, then tag/push only after release approval	No plugin release tag created in this pass
Claude marketplace	.claude-plugin/marketplace.json points at ecc and the public repo	Verify marketplace update/install path after tag exists	External marketplace propagation not verified
Codex plugin	codex plugin marketplace supports add/upgrade/remove; .codex-plugin/plugin.json is present and release-surface tests pass	Confirm marketplace source format, then test add/upgrade from the public repo or marketplace source	No public Codex marketplace submission path verified in this pass
OpenCode package	.opencode/package.json builds from source and ships inside npm package	Re-run npm run build:opencode and package dry-run from release commit	OpenCode CLI 1.2.21 does not expose a separate plugin publication command in this pass
ECC Tools billing claim	README and launch copy mention ECC Tools / marketplace context	Verify live GitHub App billing and plan state before any payment announcement	Billing dashboard/API evidence not recorded in this pass
Social and longform copy	X thread, LinkedIn copy, article outline, GitHub release copy exist	Replace any stale URLs, then publish only after release/npm/plugin URLs work	Public URLs not final until release actions complete

Rename After rc.1

If the project moves from "Everything Claude Code" toward "ECC" after rc.1, do it as a staged migration:

1. Keep ecc-universal as the npm package until a replacement package has a verified owner, deprecation plan, and install migration.
2. Keep affaan-m/everything-claude-code as the canonical repo until release notes, docs, plugin marketplace entries, npm metadata, and external links are prepared for redirects.
3. Use ECC as the product name in new diagrams, status payloads, and cross-harness docs immediately.
4. Reserve or create any new GitHub/npm/package surfaces before announcing the rename.
5. Ship a compatibility guide that maps old commands, package names, plugin slugs, and docs URLs to the new names.
