synthesis-agent-conformance SKILL.md skillA

synthesis-agent-conformance 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-agent-conformance@v2.0.1

Pins v2.0.1 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Audit and verify that synthesis behaves the same in Claude Code, Codex and Muse: source lint, installed parity, hook wiring and trust, AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md adapters, skill catalogs, and project handoff between harnesses. Use for parity audits, instruction migrations, or checks after install.

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 Agent Conformance

Treat cross-agent portability as a continuously tested system, not a file-count
comparison. This skill audits five planes (source, installed, live, continuity,
capability) with the v5 tools, repairs from source, and keeps always-loaded
instructions small enough for every harness.

## Binding rules

1. **Parity is tested, never inferred.** Matching inventories or version labels are not parity; a self-report is a claim, so compare installed bytes and read each harness's own answers.
2. **Name the plane when facts conflict.** Runtime state is current behavior; source is what the next deployment produces.
3. **UNKNOWN never becomes PASS.** A check that could not run is reported as unknown, with what it needed.
4. **Never write a harness's trust state.** Codex `/hooks` trust and Muse hook approval are the person's decisions; report what needs approving.
5. **Repair from source, never in an installed copy or cache.** Keep shared behavior agent-neutral and put harness differences in adapters.
6. **`AGENTS.md` is canonical; `CLAUDE.md` is exactly `@AGENTS.md`.** Private skills go to `~/.claude/skills` and `~/.agents/skills`, never `~/.codex/skills`.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-agent-conformance@sha256:13261b3b8e178fff

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.1, 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.
