Answer from any buffer

Emacs Client for Claude Code
An Emacs client for the Claude Code CLI. Conversations run directly in ordinary Emacs buffers — no terminal emulator required.
ecc runs claude headless, talks to it over pipes in its stream-json protocol, and draws the conversation in an ordinary Emacs buffer. The transcript is read-only text, so isearch, occur and M-w work in it. A permission request, a diff or a plan is answered with one key, in the transcript or from the file you are editing.
Review the change
Every change of a session in one diff, however it was made. Comment on lines and send the comments as one prompt. Reviewing changes
Send from your code
Send the region, fix the error at point, or write @region, @cursor and
@diagnostics in a prompt.
Sending from your code
Several sessions
A sidebar listing every session, a tab for each, and a mark on each session waiting for you. Session management
Hand over to the terminal
ecc-tui-open hands the conversation to the CLI’s own interface, and
ecc-tui-return takes it back.
Handing over
Off until you turn it on
Requests are denied unless you allow them. The MCP server is off, and evaluating Elisp is a separate opt-in. Configuration
ecc needs Emacs 29.1 or later and the claude CLI, and no other package. Start with the
installation, then a first session.
