Move work between the principal's Macs and bring a Mac in or out: leave with synthesis handoff, arrive and resume, set up a new Mac, retire an old one. Use for: move work to another Mac, resume on another Mac, machine sync, bootstrap a new Mac, enroll a Mac, retire a Mac.
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
# Machine Sync Keep the principal's Macs working as one system. Work moves; processes do not. Git remotes carry project records and code, the iCloud sync folder carries config and credentials (`synthesis-mac-sync`), and everything else is per Mac: each Mac has its own board, its own sessions and its own claims. ## Binding rules 1. **Clean install only.** Never copy one Mac's `~/.synthesis`, board session files, harness caches or transcript caches onto another; shared state arrives only through its remote or the sync folder. 2. **Leave only when nothing claimed is stranded:** `synthesis handoff` per project, then the strand scan. Dirty, unpushed or upstream-less work means the move is not done, and nothing reports it ready. 3. **Arrive without overwriting:** never pull over uncommitted changes; list them and decide with the principal first. 4. **Resume from the records alone:** project files, git and this Mac's board. No step depends on which harness (Claude Code, Codex, Muse) picks the work up. 5. **Secrets travel only through the sync folder's sensitive files** (`chmod 600`), never through git, a board message, a log or a prompt. …

How to install
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-machine-sync@sha256:3720786482575416The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
