The adopt-and-adapt pattern for integrating contributions to a synthesis-coded project: lead synthesist, quality gates, cherry-pick safety, integration intensity. Use for synthesis coding, multi-contributor, integration, cherry-pick, adopt and adapt, integrate or merge contributor work.

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

# Code Integration

When multiple people contribute to a project built through synthesis coding, integration is fundamentally different from a standard open source merge workflow. This skill defines how it works.

## Binding rules

1. **Adopt and adapt by default; never blind-merge.** Branch fresh from current `main`, bring changes in selectively, and fix issues before they reach `main`, because the contributor built against a codebase that has since moved. Lighter phases are earned by a contributor's record and lost on a regression.
2. **Zero accepted failures.** Every test passes and every lint is clean, including failures you did not cause, fixed in the same branch; a suite with known failures cannot tell you whether a change is safe.
3. **Every contribution passes Gates 1 to 4** (completeness, security, architecture, project-specific standards) before integration. An undocumented standard is the lead's to document, not the contributor's fault.
4. **Never merge another long-lived branch into a PR branch.** Put the commit on that branch as a separate operation; only a promotion PR (such as `develop` to `main`) carries another branch's work.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-code-integration@sha256:2ca37443c3d902e2

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.
