+This file provides guidance to Claude Code when working in this repository.
+
+## Project
+
+**retort-plugins** - see README.md and repo-local files for project-specific setup and commands.
+
+## Baton Integration
+
+Baton is the shared task graph for cross-repo work. When the `baton` MCP server is available, agents should check for existing work with `task_check` at the start of meaningful tasks, create or claim visible work with `task_notify`/`log_agent_message`, update the task when significant new information becomes available, and log completion or blockers before handing off.
