description	Map a described workflow to the right ECC command-GROUP with run-order and stop condition, and browse all command-group recipe families. Adds a family-grouping + run-order + when-to-stop layer on top of the flat command catalog. Advisory only. TRIGGER when the user says which commands for X, what command group runs X, show ECC recipes, list ECC pipelines, or how do I run a workflow with ECC. DO NOT TRIGGER when the user wants the task executed directly, wants a single-command deep doc (use ecc-guide), or wants a draft prompt rewritten (use prompt-optimizer).

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 ?"
• "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.

Family prefix	Recipe meaning	Typical run-order
orch-*	gated Research, Plan, TDD, Review, Commit per task type	pick one orch-* by task kind; it runs its own internal phases
multi-*	multi-model workflow	multi-plan then multi-execute then review (or multi-workflow end-to-end)
prp-*	PRD to plan to implement to PR pipeline	prp-prd then prp-plan then prp-implement then prp-commit then prp-pr
epic-*	large multi-unit epic, parallel	epic-decompose then epic-claim then epic-validate then epic-review then epic-unblock then epic-sync then epic-publish
loop-*	managed autonomous loop and monitor	loop-start <pattern> then watch with loop-status
gan-*	generator and evaluator loop	gan-build (code) or gan-design (UI); self-looping
*-build / *-review / *-test	per-language CI triad	<lang>-test (TDD) then <lang>-build (fix) then <lang>-review
hookify-*	behavior-hook management	hookify then hookify-list then hookify-configure
learn / instinct-* / evolve / promote / prune	continuous-learning	learn then instinct-status then evolve then

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>.

Output Template (match mode)

Workflow: <one-sentence restatement>

Best fit: <family> — <why>
(Alt: <family> — <why>)

Run-order:
  /<cmd1>   # job
  /<cmd2>   # job
  /<cmd3>   # job
  STOP when: <condition>
  WARNING (autonomous loops only): an unbounded loop burns subscription/credits —
  add a max-iteration or max-cost backstop alongside the completion signal.

Read full docs:
  commands/<cmd1>.md   (or: /ecc-guide <cmd1>)

Examples

Catalog: /ecc-recipes → prints the family table and total count.

Match: /ecc-recipes plan a whole app upfront then auto-build with adversarial review until done → Best fit: loop-* (autonomous) wrapping gan-* or santa-loop (adversarial). Run-order: plan-prd then loop-start rfc-dag --mode safe then monitor loop-status; STOP when all units pass review N consecutive times (add a max-iteration backstop to bound burn).

Match: /ecc-recipes fix a bug in my Go service → Best fit: orch-fix-defect (reproduce, fix, review, commit). Alt: go-test then go-build then go-review. STOP: regression test green and review pass.

Non-Goals

• Not an executor — advisory only.
• Not per-command deep docs — that's ecc-guide.
• Not prompt rewriting — that's prompt-optimizer.
• Never hardcode command counts or member lists — always live-read.
