synthesis-autopilot SKILL.md skillA

synthesis-autopilot from synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-autopilot@v4.0.0

Pins v4.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Run an explicitly delegated whole task to the end from a plan file in the project, unattended when needed. Use only on clear end-to-end delegation ('autopilot this', 'handle this end to end', 'run overnight'), never on a single-step approval or a talk about autonomy.

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

# Synthesis Autopilot

Carry a delegated whole task to the end, through compaction, waits and nights
away, with one plan file in the project as the run's record. The mode changes
how often the agent interrupts, never what it may do, and it sequences the
skills that already exist rather than restating them.

## Binding rules

1. **Engage only on explicit whole-task delegation.** Ambiguous wording means normal supervised work; never ask "should I use autopilot?" Over-firing removes supervision the user chose to keep.
2. **The run is its plan file in the project.** Write it from the template and run `engage` before the first phase; read it first after any compaction or wake. Chat compacts; the file does not.
3. **End a turn only four ways:** start the next open item; wait on a named external event with a continuation that will wake the session; record a blocker and alert; or close honestly. A summary that announces the next step without taking it is how an overnight run sat idle; the turn-end check asks for one of the four.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-autopilot@sha256:2d8423491e56272d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v4.0.0, 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.
