Getting Started

Features

Everything EGC provides out of the box.

Core

🧠

Persistent memory

State is saved at the end of each session and restored at the start. Decisions, preferences, and next steps survive window closes and tool switches.

🌍

Global memory

A user-wide scope shared across every project: save transversal preferences and lessons once with scope global, and every session in every tool starts already knowing them. Project state always wins.

⚡

Token Crusher

Shell output is compressed up to 90% before it reaches the model: long git logs, test noise and install spam shrink while errors always survive. egc saved reports your accumulated savings at zero token cost.

🚌

Session Bus v2

Parallel sessions announce presence, split territory, take fail-fast cooperative path locks, and now exchange events through a per-session queue, with live presence surfaced automatically on every memory read.

🔒

Commit privacy

Populated memory never reaches a commit: pre-commit block, CI guard, and a git clean filter configured by egc init that stages a zeroed blob even when hooks are bypassed. Your context stays yours.

🔄

Bidirectional sync

update_state propagates context to all 11 tool config files automatically. Run egc watch to also sync changes you make directly in any tool file back to state and to all other tools in real time.

🔌

Multi-tool

Works with 20 AI coding tools. Install once and EGC registers itself in every tool you have installed.

🔒

Local-first

All state stays on your machine at ~/.egc/, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Nothing is sent externally.

⚡

Zero config

sh scripts/install.sh handles everything. Detects your tools, builds the servers, bootstraps the protocol.

🛡️

Guardian layer

egc-guardian enforces safety at the harness level: every shell command and file write is validated before execution. UserPromptSubmit and PreToolUse hooks block dangerous patterns without AI behavioral calls.

📋

Decision history

Every architectural decision is stored in SQLite with a timestamp. Query by date or tag.

Prompt library

Optional. Asked during installation. Written from real experience, not generated.
