2 things to look at
- 13 days oldThe repository was created 13 days ago. New is not bad, but a brand new repository carrying a familiar-sounding name is the shape a typosquat arrives in, and there has been no time for anyone else to find a problem with it.
- 0 stars0 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.
What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Reject a work-item: close it with a reason comment. Use when the user says "reject X", "rechazar idea", or decides an item won't move forward.
The file declares its own license as MIT. That is the author’s claim about this one file, and it is not the same thing as the license GitHub reports for the repository, which is listed with the other numbers below.

baton reject
Reject an item — close it as the terminal state, with the reason recorded. Rejection is distinct from defer (defer = leave it open, lower its priority, or keep it in an early stage).
Workflow
- Confirm with the user: reject (drop it) vs defer (keep for later). If defer, don't close — adjust priority or leave the stage, and stop here.
- Reject — comment the reason + close:
baton close <id> --reason "Rejected: <why — out of scope / superseded by #NN / not worth the cost>"baton closeposts the reason as a comment, then closes the item.
Notes
- Prefer a rejection comment that explains the blocker over silence — a future re-intake can reference this item.
- Multi-part items: rejecting closes the whole item regardless of checklist
boxes — reject means the item itself is dropped, not that parts finished. (The
completion gate in
baton-startis for closing on completion, not rejection.)
