baton-plan

baton-plan is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sawy3r/baton. It costs 16 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning skill that turns a goal into a small, checkable work plan for someone else to approve. It inspects the repository, existing plan, code, tests, documentation, and history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when another person must review and approve the scope, inputs, limits, and acceptance criteria for planned work.
Why use it?
It clarifies the exact result, boundaries, dependencies, and acceptance checks before implementation begins.

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-plan 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 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.

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.

Purpose

Turn a goal into a clear contract for someone else to approve. Planning never approves itself.

Inputs

  • Goal, repository, target, approver, and applicable plan.
  • Current repository, scope, acceptance, dependencies, inputs, limits, and exclusions.

Authority

Keep the release while its goal, target, and approver stay the same. Preserve unchanged slices and identify consumers of changed inputs. Approval must cover the exact release skeleton and every declared slice file.

The plan is a commitment. Support paths, additional checks, evidence, scheduling, retries, worktrees, and bookkeeping need no revision when the promise stays the same.

Actions

  1. Inspect Git, the plan, code, tests, docs, and history. Find repository facts.
  2. Ask only about human choices that could change the result. Offer no plan while one is open.
  3. When clear, summarize result, scope, acceptance, inputs, and limits; ask for correction or confirmation, then stop without plan bytes.
  4. Later, write a plan or forward-only revision with templates/plan.md and one templates/slice.md per slice. Keep paths, digests, outcomes, and identities. Give each slice falsifiable acceptance. Declare every scope.include path in touchpoints, assigned to the track; shared paths require dependency. Optionally publish a human-readable bundle under configured release_docs_root (default docs/baton/releases) at <release>/slices/<id>/. Set it in the project .baton/config.json or the global ~/.config/baton/config.json; project configuration overrides global configuration. Use templates/evidence.json as an advisory inventory.
  5. Present the exact plan bytes for external approval and stop.

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.
