synthesize skillA

synthesize is agent-read markdown (skill) from ahgraber/skills: Use when distilling the through-line gist of one or more sources — the spine, argument, tension, or recurring frame running through a set of documents, notes, research, or transcripts, OR across the ideas within a single rich piece — into a few concise paragraphs. Triggers: "synthesize", "what's the through-line/gist", "extract the insight", "pull these together". Not for faithful summary or condensation that covers what a source says, nor for comparisons or catalogs where enumeration is the del.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

How to install

Latest version
mdr add ahgraber/skills/synthesize@git:20260819.209d97b
Exact content
mdr add ahgraber/skills/synthesize@sha256:181df6c8ab42dbe5

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
