Baron v0.1.0 — first public release
First public release of Baron — a platform-agnostic work-orchestration layer for AI coding agents: one pane of glass (issues, scm, ci, deploy, notify) across providers, via MCP + CLI.
Install
npx -y @lonca/baron-mcp-server # MCP server (needs a .baron/policy.json — run baron init first)
npx -y @lonca/baron-cli help # CLIPackages (npm)
@lonca/baron-core · baron-providers · baron-recipes · baron-cli · baron-mcp-server · baron-knowledge-loop · baron-adapter-azure-devops · baron-adapter-github · baron-adapter-slack — all 0.1.0, Apache-2.0.
Highlights
- Capability ports (issues / scm / ci / deploy / notify) bound to providers independently
- Semantic role layer: agents speak roles (backlog → in_progress → in_review → done), never vendor states
- Deterministic YAML recipes (task-start, task-finish, ship) runnable as ONE call via baron_recipe_run
- MCP server + Claude Code plugin with per-recipe skills
- Azure DevOps ports live-validated; adapters covered by a network-free conformance suite (266 tests)
