Pass the baton.
Ship the software.
The execution layer between “story created” and “code merged” — where BAs, developers, testers, and DevOps all have a seat. Every role ships. Constraints enforced, not hoped for.
Your AI tools are single-player
Every major AI development tool was built for a single developer at a keyboard. When a team of twelve sits in a room to use it, eleven become spectators. The BA routes input through Slack. The architect can't inject constraints. The PM watches.

How Baton works
The baton passes from role to role. Every handoff is constrained, validated, and logged.
Define
BA writes the story. Worker converts it to structured acceptance criteria with your architectural context loaded.
Business AnalystBuild
Workers execute under constraints. Developers review, not author. Every PR is bounded by scope, rules, and stopping points.
Development TeamShip
Validators challenge. Gates enforce. The full chain — from prompt to commit — is logged and auditable.
Entire TeamBuilt for teams that need to trust what ships
Every feature exists because we watched teams fail without it.
Constraint Objects
Before any worker runs, Baton generates a machine-readable specification that binds the agent to specific files, rules, and stopping points. Not advisory. Enforced.
Context Manifest
Every document the agent has loaded is visible before it starts. Stale ADRs are flagged amber. Missing standards block execution. The AI never works blind.
6 Human Gates
Requirements, design, code, tests, infrastructure, deployment. Every gate is non-bypassable. Validators run before every approval. No rubber-stamping.
Multiplayer Interruption
Any team member can comment on a card mid-execution. Add context, redirect the agent, ask questions, or escalate. Interruptions become organizational memory.
Validator Worker
An adversarial agent challenges every artifact before any human sees it. Finds architectural conflicts, missing NFRs, and standard deviations. Shows findings side-by-side.
Full Audit Trail
Every prompt, every response, every approval decision — logged with timestamp, author, and git commit hash. EU AI Act Article 12 ready.
The board is the persistent memory
Every story, every constraint, every approval decision — visible to the whole team in real time.

Built from real observations
Baton was born from watching 35+ professionals across two enterprise workshops struggle with the same problem: powerful AI tools built for one developer, leaving the rest of the team on the sidelines.
