🤝 Call for Contributors - Help shape EGC

[Fmarzochi]

What is EGC?

EGC (Extended Global Context) is a persistent memory MCP server that works across 20 AI coding tools: Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Windsurf, Amp, VS Code Copilot, Continue.dev, and more (Kiro, Trae, Goose, Aider, OpenHands, Amazon Q Developer CLI, and Warp support all in progress - see #733, #734, #735, #736, #737, #738, #739).

One install. Every tool. Permanent memory.

npm install -g @egchq/egc

After install, every AI session starts with:

State loaded. Context and preferences acknowledged.

Why contribute?

The core runtime is stable, CI is green, and the architecture is documented. There is real work to do:

Testers

Do you use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Windsurf? Install EGC on your machine and tell us what broke.

• Linux, macOS, Windows - all welcome
• Try npm install -g @egchq/egc and report the result
• Open an issue if something does not work

Skill authors

EGC ships 230+ skills. If you have a workflow that works well, it can be a skill - a plain Markdown file.

• Look at any file in skills/ for the format
• Submit a PR with your skill

Tool integrators

New AI coding tools are launching every month. If you use one that EGC does not support yet, open an issue with the tool name and config format. Kiro, Trae, Goose, Aider, OpenHands, Amazon Q Developer CLI, and Warp are already tracked as open issues - pick one and send a PR.

Provider integrators

Native LLM providers are also open for contribution. Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama, OpenRouter, Mistral AI, and DeepSeek are shipped natively. Groq, Cohere, and Vertex AI are tracked as open issues.

Bug reporters

Found a bug? Edge case? Unexpected behavior? Open an issue. The more specific the better.

How to get started

1. Read CONTRIBUTING.md
2. Check open issues - look for good first issue
3. Install EGC and try it on a real project
4. Open a PR or issue

---

Everyone who contributes - even a single bug report - is helping build the memory layer for the next generation of AI-assisted development.

Welcome.

• #729 -- Cohere

Install targets (scripts/lib/install-targets/)

• #733 -- Kiro
• #734 -- Trae
• #735 -- Goose
• #736 -- Aider (research-backed, needs a new .aider.conf.yml merge operation)

Update, 2026-07-25: the July 13 list is fully absorbed

Every opportunity from the last update was picked up and merged by the community. Thank you all: the provider suite, the install targets and the dashboard work shipped across v1.1.14 and v1.1.15.

Open right now:

• #644 - macOS testing mission: install or upgrade EGC on macOS and report what you see
• #643 - Linux testing mission: re-test on the next release and report back
• #990 - Ultra audit challenge: try to break EGC's runtime driving it with Anthropic Fable or Mistral. Harder tier, Bug Hunter badge material.

Want something specific scoped for you (a provider, an install target, a dashboard itch)? Open a discussion and I will turn it into an issue.
