Coordinate an absence end to end (vacation, conference, family visit, medical leave): notification order, coverage and reachability, meeting release, personal-continuity notes, out-of-office set and clear, return sweep. Use when planning time off, announcing an absence or arranging coverage.

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

# Absence Coordination

Treats an absence as a handoff with a scheduled reversal: who decides in your place, what can wait, and how to reach you if it truly cannot. All names, tiers, channels and lead times load from a private config, so the skill is publishable and the configuration is yours.

## Binding rules

1. **If the config is missing, STOP and say so.** Never hardcode a name, address or channel that belongs in config.
2. **Write to the principals; cc their assistants.** One message: principals hear it from you, assistants get the same lead time.
3. **No group post before the principals are notified.** Groups are last, always.
4. **No send before a conflict check across every calendar,** including any outside the mirroring layer.
5. **No send before a coverage statement exists.** Coverage is sourced, never invented; if nobody covers, say so.
6. **Every work-tier notice carries coverage and reachability;** refuse to send one missing either.
7. **Principal-tier messages are never agent-sent** (`send_mode: draft_only`).
8. **Amendments update existing ledger rows, never repost.**
9. **Never use a distribution alias for a tier.** Explicit recipients only.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-absence-coordination@sha256:f29dcae171a2010a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
