Included Skills1

batonskills/baton/SKILL.md

Explicitly start a session handover when the user invokes /baton, /baton:baton, or $baton. The main agent briefs a subagent, which follows DrDoc, checks project evidence, requests missing context, and writes the handover. The main agent reviews and presents it. Never infer a request from task completion, a pause, or an agent turn ending.
