Use project .babelrc file with plugins?

I couldn't figure out how to get atom-script to use my project .babelrc file. I have additional plugins like babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread in my local babelrc file that I would like to use. Right now I get error when trying to run babel code with object spread. I was able to manually, temporarily fix this by updating the babel setting in the atom-script package.json file with the right plugins and installing said plugins directly into my ~/.atom/packages/script/ folder. If there is a simpler way to circumvent this... please enlighten me! Thanks
