# Use Claude Code with ECP

> Configure Claude Code and the ECP docs skill to speed up Execution Control Protocol development.

Use Claude Code as an assistant when you work on ECP (Execution Control Protocol): manifests, examples, and CLI flows.

## Prerequisites

* Claude Code installed
* Local clone of the ECP repo

## Setup

1. Install Claude Code:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
```

2. Install the ECP documentation skill so Claude Code understands the ECP docs:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g skills
skills add https://executioncontrolprotocol.io
```

3. Use Claude Code in the ECP repo to:

* Understand and edit Context manifests.
* Design and refine new examples that use `ecp run` and `ecp validate`.
* Explore how policies, mounts, and executors are modeled in the spec.

## Next steps

* [Concepts](/learn/concepts) — Contexts, orchestrators, and executors
* [Schema reference](/reference/schema) — JSON Schema and TypeScript types
