Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00045 | $0.01596 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00798 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00319 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00160 |
Grade B, and why
install-baton scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
The statusline shim at `<repo>/assets/baton-pct.sh` emits `CTX:NN%` for use in `~/.claude/settings.json`'s `statusLine.command`. Read the user's current setting: How it starts

Install Pass the Baton - First-time Setup Assistant
When to Use
- User wants to install Pass the Baton into a project.
- Re-configuring BATON_* env vars after a layout change.
- Note: the fastest install is the Claude Code plugin (
/plugin install pass-the-baton@pass-the-baton); use this skill when you also want the statusline indicator or interactive directory setup.
Process
Step 1: Locate the repo
Confirm the user has cloned the Pass the Baton repo. If they haven't, offer to clone it to ~/pass-the-baton:
git clone https://github.com/AaronCarney/pass-the-baton.git ~/pass-the-baton
If they have cloned it, ask for the absolute path. Treat that path as <repo> for the rest of the skill.
Step 2: Smart-detect the --target
The target is the project the user invoked Claude from - the repo where they spend Claude Code sessions - NOT the clone of Pass the Baton itself. Default: $PWD at skill invocation time. If $PWD is inside the Pass the Baton clone, walk up to the parent project or ask the user.
Step 2b: Present the 6 setup questions
Ask each in turn using your question UX. Defaults shown below. The prompt text is canonical - it matches tools/install.sh and docs/install.md verbatim (CI-enforced).
Q1 - BATON_DIR
Where should checkpoint state live? (BATON_DIR)
This is the directory holding workstreams/, terminals/, and progress/.
Default: $TARGET/.baton
Q2 - BATON_PROGRESS_DIR
Where should progress files live? (BATON_PROGRESS_DIR)
Resume injects the most recent file from here at SessionStart.
Default: $BATON_DIR/progress
Q3 - BATON_ARCHIVE_DIR
Where should pruned workstreams be archived? (BATON_ARCHIVE_DIR)
Idle >7d records move here. Restore a known id with tools/restore-workstream.sh.
Default: $HOME/.local/share/baton
Q4 - BATON_PROJECT_DIR
What is the project root cron should operate on? (BATON_PROJECT_DIR)
Cleanup-cron runs out-of-shell; needs this fixed at install time.
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.

install-baton is a skill published in the GitHub repository AaronCarney/pass-the-baton (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 1,596 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
