baton-pass

baton-pass is a skill for Claude Code from futuregerald/futuregerald-claude-plugin. It costs 111 tokens per session (2,458 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A procedure for saving the current work context to an ACTIVECONTEXT.md file so another session can continue. It is required when changing sessions or approaching context and turn limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before switching agents or sessions, and before a long session reaches its stated turn or context limit.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of losing decisions, progress, and next steps when a coding session ends or its conversation is compacted.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

baton-pass 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 today.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/compact_checkpoint.py, scripts/test_compact_checkpoint.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Register both in `~/.claude/settings.json`, appending these entries to any existing `PreCompact` and `SessionStart` arrays rather than replacing them. The path assumes the skills directory is symlinked to `~/.claude/skil

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
