baron

baron is a plugin for Claude Code from loncadev/baron. Its manifest loads nothing; the 10 skills it bundles cost 696 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A Baron add-on that gives coding agents one common way to manage issues, source code, automated checks, deployments, and notifications across different providers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create and update work items, manage branches and pull requests, run pipelines, deploy changes, send notifications, and run packaged workflows.
Why use it?
It removes provider-specific commands and vocabulary from the agent's workflow, so the same work process can span different services.

Getting it into your agent

Security

Grade A, and why

baron scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 10 skills travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 696 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
