synthesis-project-resume 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-project-resume@v2.0.0

Pins v2.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Start or resume any synthesis project in any harness on any machine with verified context: classify the session (continuing, fresh, wrong project), load the records, respect live claims, surface other Macs' changes. Use when pasting a resume prompt or (re)opening project work.

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

# Project Resume

One prompt resumes a synthesis project anywhere: any harness, any Mac, with or
without native skill loading. The skill decides whether this session is
continuing, fresh or pointed at the wrong project, loads the records it needs,
and hands the principal a one-screen brief. `synthesis resume` does the
mechanical part from local files and local git; this skill is the protocol
around it, and works by hand where the CLI is absent.

## Binding rules

1. **Classify before loading.** Continuing: confirm in one line and keep working. Fresh: load fully. Wrong project: stop, name both projects and what is at stake, and ask. Fragments of several projects count as wrong project.
2. **An unknown id offers a new project.** Never resolve it to a similar existing name.
3. **Never claim context you did not read.** State what was loaded and the newest item's date.
4. **Never write through a live foreign claim.** Say who, on what, since when, and work read-only until the principal decides.
5. **Another Mac's work is the normal case.** Surface what changed there; never pull over local uncommitted changes; report two diverged copies as a conflict, never pick one by date.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synthesisengineering/synthesis-skills/synthesis-project-resume@sha256:2be677e2de3f048f

The 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.
