Synapse Reinst

If you've run /clear in a Synapse A2A agent and suddenly your send/reply commands stop working, this skill restores your identity and communication protocol. It's a simple Python script that reads the environment variables Synapse sets at startup (which survive context resets) and reconstructs your full initial instructions from the agent registry and settings. The use case is narrow but critical: when you've wiped context and lost the instructions that make you a functioning A2A agent, run this to get them back. It's essentially a recovery tool for a specific architecture's specific failure mode, which makes it either essential or irrelevant depending on whether you're running Synapse.

Files

Synapse Re-Instruction

Restore Synapse A2A agent identity and instructions after /clear or context reset.

When to Use

After running /clear (or equivalent context reset)
When the agent no longer recognizes Synapse commands
When A2A communication has stopped working
After any event that clears the agent's initial instructions

Usage

Run the reinst script to output your full Synapse instructions:

# From the source tree
python plugins/synapse-a2a/skills/synapse-reinst/scripts/reinst.py

# From a synced or installed skill copy
cd .claude/skills/synapse-reinst && python scripts/reinst.py

The script reads environment variables set by Synapse at startup (SYNAPSE_AGENT_ID, SYNAPSE_AGENT_TYPE, SYNAPSE_PORT) which persist even after /clear.
