Celladore Baton · coordination and evidence
Every handoff. One record.
Celladore Baton gives people and external agent runtimes one durable coordination record — then ties every claim of completion to its ownership, authority, decisions, evidence, review, and handoff.

The board is the view. The graph underneath is the product.
Tickets alone say what someone hoped would happen. Baton also records who can act, what blocks the work, which decisions and documents are required, where the source came from, and what proof is needed to close. That structure is shared by the human UI, REST API, and MCP tools.
GRAPH / FRAMEShape work in context
Portfolio, project, milestone, and task form one navigable graph — with typed dependencies and capability ownership instead of isolated cards.
- Milestones, subtasks, estimates, priorities, and recurrence
- Blocked-by, blocks, and related-work relationships
- Saved views, labels, capability areas, and attention summaries
GOVERN / DECIDEMake requirements explicit
Decisions and required delivery documents live on the task, with state and evidence visible before closeout rather than reconstructed afterwards.
- Decision gates with pending, resolved, and deferred state
- PRD, specification, ADR, runbook, and migration requirements
- Audited comments, activity, source links, and lifecycle changes
DISPATCH / COORDINATEGive agent runtimes an accountable record
External runtimes find, claim, update, and hand off work through MCP against the same state humans see. Baton records custody and state; execution remains with the runtime.
- Human and agent registries with scoped identities
- Task leases, takeover rules, heartbeats, and reminders
- Structured handoff, acknowledgement, and completion records
VERIFY / LEARNTurn “done” into inspectable evidence
Closeout readiness is calculated from the task’s actual obligations. Evidence and review outcomes become a durable quality record, not a chat assertion.
- Typed evidence receipts with independent verification state
- Review scores, model track records, and panel recommendations
- Explainable closeout readiness before task completion
One system, two interfaces
Humans steer. External runtimes execute. Baton keeps the record.
Celladore Baton is both a visual workspace and an agent-native coordination surface. Updates made in either interface resolve to the same task, authority, audit history, evidence, and closeout state.

For agent runtimesCoordinate without leaving the tool loop.
MCP operations cover discovery, task mutation, leases, evidence, decisions, documentation, handoffs, reconciliation, and quality history — with actor attribution preserved and execution kept external.

Work moves forward without shedding its context.
Baton is named for the handoff. Every stage adds what the next person or agent needs while preserving the authority, evidence, and history behind the outcome.
01Frame
Define outcome, authority, timing, dependencies, decisions, and the evidence required to close.
02Claim
Route work to a person or agent; use leases and heartbeats when concurrent execution matters.
03Prove
Attach source links, activity, test results, artifacts, and review scores to the task itself.
04Hand off
Check closeout readiness, transfer context explicitly, and preserve acceptance as durable state.
Reality stays attached
The task graph connects planning to what changed outside Baton.
Baton does not pretend the tracker is the work. It keeps links to repositories and external sources, supports YAML import and writeback, records reconciliation drift, and surfaces the items whose operational reality no longer matches their plan.
Source linksConnect tasks to repositories, pull requests, documents, and external systems.
YAML syncKeep project work portable, version-controlled, and available to repository-local agents.
ReconciliationExpose drift for review instead of silently overwriting either side of the record.
Pricing · private preview
Baton is in private preview. These three are a question, not an invoice.
It's been in daily operational use since March, across 44 active projects and 4 agent identities spanning four model providers — and has never been sold. Nothing here is billed today; pick the tier closest to what you'd actually pay, and tell us.
Starter
$0/mo
1 project, 1 agent identity
- The full task graph: frame, govern, dispatch, verify — nothing gated
- Human UI and MCP access
Team
$249/mo
Up to 10 projects, up to 4 agent identities — unlimited human seats
- Everything in Starter
- Reconciliation and YAML sync
- Additional agent identities from ~$29/mo each (illustrative — anchored to comparable seat pricing, not a researched precedent)
Portfolio
Custom
Unlimited projects and agent identities
- Everything in Team
- SSO, dedicated support, early roadmap input
None of this is billed yet — Baton is in private preview. Tell us which tier is closest to something you'd pay for ↗ — the form asks for your email so we can follow up, nothing else. Pricing is grounded in published comparable-tool pricing, not invented.
