# AI Keep Clean Context Control Center (CCC) — Free / Light Agents Plugin
**ready-4-it / AI Keep Clean** Agents plugin — **project identity** for multi-repo chats.
**CCC** = *AI Keep Clean Context Control Center* (AKC sibling). This GitHub repo serves **two Free channels** without mixing formats:
| Channel | Path | Host |
|---|---|---|
| **Cursor Agents** | `.cursor-plugin/` at repo root | Cursor Customize / local plugins |
| **VS Code Agents** | `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` + `plugins/akc-ccc/` | VS Code / Copilot Chat agent plugins |
The **VS Code Control Center** (sidebar) is a separate Free **VSIX**: Marketplace / Open VSX `ready-4-it.akc-ccc-vs` — not this Agents package.
> **This light edition has no license input.**
> There is only a pointer to **CCC Pro**: [https://www.ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc](https://www.ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc)
> Activation keys exist **only** in the paid Pro product — never in this repo / Marketplace listing.
| Edition | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
| **Free / Light (this repo)** | Cursor Agents + VS Code Agents (GitHub) | Accent identity (skill + MCP + rules); optional IDE border cue; **Pro link only** |
| **Free VSIX companion** | Marketplace / Open VSX `ready-4-it.akc-ccc-vs` | Control Center + bridge (not the Agents plugin itself) |
| **CCC Trial / Pro** | [ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc](https://www.ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc) + Zebra `akc_ccc` | Licensed **extension** of Free: Project HUD, branding gates, device activation (`product_id` ccc). One license covers Cursor + VS Code. **Not** listed as a second paid Agents catalog item. |
Marketplace / Agents listings stay free of charge. No paid checkout here.
## Why CCC?
Working in several Cursor Agents projects at once? Free CCC names the active workspace accent (words + hex) and can apply an IDE border cue. **Pro** adds the always-on **Project HUD** so you always know which repo the current chat belongs to.
## CCC Pro (extension of this Free plugin)
Want the Agents Project HUD (patterns, custom logos, prefs packs, …)?
1. Buy Trial/Pro → **[https://www.ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc](https://www.ready-4-it.com/akc_ccc)**
2. Install licensed package / activate device in the Project HUD. Further updates: HUD About → Zebra (`akc_ccc`) with stored license token — auto-apply into Cursor licensed Agents.
3. Bootstrap once via My Licenses ZIP only if HUD/auto-update is not available yet.
Do **not** look for a license field in this Free plugin or in `@agentPlugins` — Pro is intentionally **not** a second marketplace listing.
## Install — Cursor Agents
**Counted install (recommended):** download the latest release ZIP from
[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/timejunky/r4it_ai_keep_clean_ccc_public/releases)
(`akc_ccc_public_x.y.z.zip`) and extract into:
```text
%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\plugins\local\ai-keep-clean-ccc\
```
The HUD **About → Check for updates** (Free, no license) uses the same release asset when
available so installs and in-app updates are counted consistently.
**From source / git:** clone or copy this repo into the same folder (not counted as a release
download). Use the release ZIP when you need a stable, counted package.
Copy this repo into:
```text
%USERPROFILE%\.cursor\plugins\local\ai-keep-clean-ccc\
```
Reload Cursor → **Agents → Customize → Plugins** → enable **ai-keep-clean-ccc** (Installed / Local).
## Install — VS Code Agents / GitHub Copilot Chat
Free **agent plugin** (not the VSIX). Enable plugins, then add this repo as a marketplace:
```json
"chat.plugins.enabled": true,
"chat.plugins.marketplaces": [
"timejunky/r4it_ai_keep_clean_ccc_public"
]
```
Or Command Palette → **Chat: Install Plugin From Source** → `timejunky/r4it_ai_keep_clean_ccc_public`.
Then Extensions → search `@agentPlugins` → install **akc-ccc** (package under `plugins/akc-ccc/`).
Optional companion: install VSIX **AKC CCC VS** (`ready-4-it.akc-ccc-vs`) for the Control Center panel; use **Activate** to register a local copy via `chat.pluginLocations`.
