baton-implement

baton-implement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawy3r/baton. It costs 13 tokens per session (666 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for explaining a technical approach or building one approved slice of work. It follows an approved plan, design decision, scope, acceptance criteria, and review decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or implement a specific piece of repository work after the required plan and design approvals are in place.
Why use it?
It keeps implementation tied to agreed boundaries and prevents work from quietly expanding beyond the approved slice.

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 A, and why

baton-implement 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 5d 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.

operation: baton-implement version: baton.operation/v2

Purpose

Explain an approach or build one slice without taking the Captain or Verifier role.

Inputs

  • Approved plan, revision, slice, and attempt.
  • Dependencies, inputs, scope, acceptance, checks, limits, and exclusions.
  • Captain decision and any prior Verifier decision.

Authority

Stay within the approved slice and attempt. Building requires PROCEED for its plan, slice, and design. REVISE adds a design attempt; FAIL adds an implementation attempt. Neither replaces the slice.

Scope commits behavior and product, not every path. Support paths and checks are evidence unless they change behavior, consumed product, contract, authority, or an outside decision.

Product code, build, test, package, deploy, hooks, and runtime MUST NOT read or depend on reserved .baton/releases; do not modify it.

Actions

  1. Before design, use the current plan and exact base prepared from passed consumed work. Older track records are history. Return a design TL;DR mapping every acceptance ID to the approach and proposed evidence. Name risks or missing requirements. Stop; invent nothing.
  2. After PROCEED, check the base again. Build the approved result, apply bounded corrections, preserve the record root, and repair prior FAIL on the same slice.
  3. Run required and useful checks. Inspect the diff, candidate, product identity, and evidence.
  4. Return acceptance-linked evidence over the exact candidate, support paths, and extra results. Stop.

Required output

Lead with result, meaning, and next step. After design, include the Captain handoff. After implementation, include checks, acceptance evidence, deviations, and the Verifier handoff. Put revision, slice, attempt, exact binding, candidate, and product identities under technical details. Never write receipts or claim PASS.

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.
