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 .

Instructions

• Run the script above

• Read the output carefully — it contains your full Synapse A2A configuration

• Follow the instructions as if they were just sent to you

• Resume normal operation with A2A communication enabled

How It Works

The script:

• Reads Synapse environment variables (set at agent startup, survives /clear )

• Looks up your name/role from the agent registry

• Loads your instruction template from .synapse/settings.json

• Outputs the complete instruction with all placeholders replaced
