README

🏃 baton-pass

**Preserve progress before context or usage limits interrupt the work.**

**English** | [简体中文](./README.zh-CN.md)

A local continuity tool with optional context and Claude 5-hour quota guards. At a safe boundary it reuses the same `baton-pass` skill to hand work to a *fresh* session. It is one dependency-free **Go** binary—no Python, Node, `jq`, network service, daemon, or Notchy dependency.

🧠 Why this exists

Every turn of an agent conversation re-sends the **entire context** to the model. As a session grows, two bad things happen:

Cost climbs every turn. A conversation parked at 190K tokens pays for ~190K of context on each reply — forever, until you stop.
Auto-compaction kicks in. Near the window limit your agent silently compacts the history into a lossy summary you didn't write and can't review.

`baton-pass` fixes both and can also hand off before Claude Code's real 5-hour usage window is exhausted. Context, quota, and manual handoff are independent:

Context guard ─┐
Quota guard   ─┼─→ baton-pass skill → handoff document → batonresume
Manual request ┘

The runtime decides **when**; the existing skill decides **how**. No second quota-specific handoff system is introduced.

🏁 Think of a relay race: each session runs its leg, then passes the baton (the handoff doc) to a fresh runner instead of dragging the whole track behind it.
