One-time setup and health check for fable-baton. Use when the user asks to set up, configure, verify, or troubleshoot fable-baton - sets the default model to "best" (Fable 5 with Opus fallback) in ~/.claude/settings.json and verifies the plugin is fully installed.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# baton-setup One-time setup for fable-baton. Run each step in order. Never rewrite `~/.claude/settings.json` wholesale - edit only the named keys and preserve everything else. ## Step 1 - Read current state 1. Read `~/.claude/settings.json` (if missing, you will create a minimal one). 2. Check `echo "$CLAUDE_CODE_SUBAGENT_MODEL"`. If set, warn the user: this variable silently overrides every agent's `model` frontmatter and defeats the tiering. Recommend unsetting it, but do not unset it yourself without approval. ## Step 2 - Propose changes and get approval Show the user exactly what you will change before writing anything: | Key | Rule | |---|---| | `model` | If absent → set `"best"`. If present with a different value → ask: keep theirs, or switch to `"best"`? (`best` resolves to Fable 5 when the account has access, otherwise the latest Opus.) If already `"best"` → no change. | | `fallbackModel` | If absent → add `["opus", "sonnet"]` (covers overload/unavailability). If present → leave it. | …

How to install
mdr add realgarit/fable-baton/baton-setup@sha256:cb2d1af85cfdbdc9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.16d5f7c, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
