baton

by alfabaykal

Use when the user wants a feature or project driven end-to-end in one session — from a sentence to tested, committed work — with phrases like "build this end to end", "take it from idea to done", "ship the whole thing". Conducts the mattpocock chain (grilling → spec → tickets) and then implements it ticket by ticket, one fresh subagent each, test-first, committing only on green. Also use when the user explicitly invokes /baton.

Examples

Prompt

Build this end-to-end feature: a user login system with password reset.

Output

Starting reconnaissance for the login feature. Gathering project info, verifying test infrastructure, and checking existing code. Once complete, I will generate a spec, create tickets, and then implement each ticket sequentially with test-first approach, committing only on green. I'll guide you through each step for a seamless end-to-end build.

Prompt

Take this idea from concept to deployment: add two-factor authentication to our app.

Output

Initiating full-cycle development for 2FA integration. Conducting reconnaissance, then generating a detailed spec and tickets. Proceeding to implement each ticket one by one, testing thoroughly before committing. I'll handle the chain and keep you updated at each stage until the feature is fully shipped.

quickstartZero to power user in one invoke — detects OS, installs Homebrew/apt/Node.js/Python, sets up Claude Code, authenticates skills-hub CLI, connects MCP servers, and installs recommended skills based on your project. Cross-platform (macOS, Linux, WSL). Idempotent. Use when: 'quickstart', 'setup machine', 'new machine setup', 'install everything', 'get started', 'onboard me', 'setup skills-hub', 'fresh install'.28 installssocial-media-content-automatorA comprehensive social media automation skill that monitors platforms like Reddit and other social media sites to generate, post, and reply with relevant content promoting your app. It ensures content relevance, adheres to platform policies, and incorporates best practices for engagement and safety.6 installsvscodeConfigure and operate VS Code-family IDEs (VS Code, VS Code Insiders, Cursor, VSCodium, Trae, Qoder, CodeBuddy) via CLI and structured JSON files. Qoder and CodeBuddy support is limited to their VS Code-compatible configuration surface, not proprietary AI chat, accounts, models, agents, marketplaces, or internal state.2 installssession-memoryPersist, summarize, and reload agent context between sessions — writes a structured session log to CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .hermes.md, snapshots decisions before destructive ops, and resumes long-running goals without re-briefing. Works with any coding agent.2 installsenv-checkVerify your development environment is correctly configured for a project — checks runtime versions, dependencies, env vars, services, ports, and permissions.2 installslinterConfigure linting, formatting, and editor integration for any stack. Sets up ESLint 9 or Biome for JS/TS, Ruff for Python, golangci-lint for Go, Clippy for Rust, RuboCop for Ruby, or dart analyze for Flutter. Adds Prettier or equivalent formatter, .editorconfig, and VS Code format-on-save. Use when you need to add a linter, fix formatting inconsistencies, migrate from legacy lint tools, or set up code style enforcement.1 installs

Frequently asked questions about baton

What does the baton skill do?

Use when the user wants a feature or project driven end-to-end in one session — from a sentence to tested, committed work — with phrases like "build this end to end", "take it from idea to done", "ship the whole thing". Conducts the mattpocock chain (grilling → spec → tickets) and then implements it ticket by ticket, one fresh subagent each, test-first, committing only on green. Also use when the user explicitly invokes /baton. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the baton skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install baton` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/baton/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does baton work with?

baton runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the baton skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use baton after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/baton` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the baton skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
