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

# Repository Instructions: Synthesis Skills

## Purpose

This public repository is the canonical source for portable synthesis
engineering skills. It is packaged as one native plugin for Claude Code, OpenAI
Codex and Muse while remaining compatible with the Agent Skills standard.

## Canonical Sources

- `skills/` owns every public skill, script, reference, asset, license, and
  Codex interface.
- `.codex-plugin/plugin.json`, `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` and
  `.muse-plugin/plugin.json` own the three client manifests. Their versions must
  match.
- `.agents/plugins/marketplace.json` and
  `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` own marketplace discovery.
- `hooks/hooks.json` owns shared lifecycle-hook registration.
- `skills/synthesis-onboarding/scripts/setup.py` installs the native plugin in
  each harness; native plugins are the only installation path.

Never edit installed plugin caches or user-level skill copies. Make the change
here, verify it, merge it to `main`, then update the installed plugins.

## Implementation Rules

1. Search the existing skills and scripts before adding behavior.
2. Keep shared behavior agent-neutral. Put client-specific metadata and event
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/AGENTS.md@sha256:de222249e3a01c65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.9bc7d02, 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.
