Finds work stranded on this Mac: repositories with uncommitted, unpushed or unpulled changes or a detached HEAD, in a read-only scan with a JSON report and a count-only alert. Use at day-end, before switching Macs, or when asked what is unsynced or what is left to commit.
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 Repo Guard Agents and tools change files all day, and work left uncommitted or unpushed on one Mac is invisible from the other. This skill finds it: `scripts/repo_sync_check.py` scans every repository under a workspace root and reports what is dirty, ahead, behind or detached, without changing anything. Committing this session's own records is `synthesis handoff`; the rules both follow are below. ## Binding rules 1. **Detection never modifies.** The scan reads; it never commits, stages, fetches or pushes. 2. **Alerts carry a count and a pointer, never a name.** Speech and banners never name a repository, workspace or client: speakers are overheard and banners are screen-shared, at all times, not only while sharing (2026-07-08). Detail goes only to pull channels the principal opens: the report file and synthesis-console. 3. **Quiet means quiet.** While `~/.synthesis/quiet-audio` exists, nothing speaks or shows a banner; the report still updates, so muting loses nothing. 4. **Only reads may run on a schedule.** Never schedule anything that commits or pushes: wall-clock mutation races repositories across machines. …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-repo-guard@sha256:1ca8bbe1bed55d29The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.0, 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.
