Run synthesis projects as markdown records in git and keep parallel sessions from colliding. Use for project setup, naming, index, lessons, session start and end, claims before writes, one context owner, peer messages, worktrees, handoff between harnesses or Macs, Codex dispatch.

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 Project Management

Projects live as plain markdown in git under `ai-knowledge-{workspace}/projects/`,
so any session in Claude Code, Codex or Muse, on this Mac or another, continues
from files rather than chat. This skill sets projects up and runs them, and
keeps parallel sessions from overwriting each other through the `synthesis`
board (one small file per session).

## Binding rules

1. **Records live in one place.** Write project records only in the canonical knowledge checkout, never a worktree copy; `synthesis resume` names any newer or diverged copy. Chat, native memory and compaction summaries are not records.
2. **Read the board, then claim before writing.** `synthesis who`, then `synthesis claim` on the smallest coherent area. A refused claim stops that write and everything depending on it.
3. **One context owner per project.** Only one live session writes CONTEXT.md, REFERENCE.md, sessions/, the plan and the index entry; others write `resources/artifacts/contributions/<short id>.md` for the owner to reconcile.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-project-management@sha256:ead4efd8793308c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.3.0, 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.
