# Synapse.org agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor and RevampKey

> Ready-made Synapse.org playbooks for AI agents: audit where a Synapse dataset came from, inventory a Synapse project and check its annotations. Free SKILL.md files for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or one click in RevampKey.

## Skills

- [Use Synapse.org with AI](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/synapse-org/skills/essentials.md): Looks up Synapse entities, annotations, provenance, children and search results with your own Synapse login. It is read-only and never changes data on Synapse.
- [Audit where a Synapse dataset came from](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/synapse-org/skills/dataset-provenance-audit.md): Traces a Synapse entity's lineage and version history, checks the annotations that govern reuse, and reports whether the dataset is fit for reuse and where the record has gaps. It only reads from Synapse and never changes data.
- [Inventory a Synapse project and check its annotations](https://revampkey.com/marketplace/synapse-org/skills/project-inventory-and-annotation-check.md): Walks a Synapse project or folder tree, builds an inventory of its contents, and reports which items are missing the annotations needed for findability and data-use compliance. It is read-only and never changes annotations.

## Install

- RevampKey: connect Synapse.org at https://revampkey.com/marketplace/synapse-org; the skills come with it.
- Any Agent Skills tool, into the current project:

```bash
for s in essentials dataset-provenance-audit project-inventory-and-annotation-check; do
  curl -fsSL --create-dirs -o .agents/skills/synapse-org-$s/SKILL.md https://revampkey.com/marketplace/synapse-org/skills/$s/SKILL.md
done
```

### What is a Synapse.org agent skill?

A SKILL.md file: a short playbook an AI agent loads when your request matches it. Each Synapse.org skill describes one job, which Synapse.org tools to use in which order, what to check first and when to stop and ask you.

### Do the Synapse.org skills change anything on their own?

3 of the 3 only read. The others tell the agent to show you the change and wait for a yes before it creates, edits or deletes anything in Synapse.org.

### Which tools can use these skills?

Any agent that reads the open Agent Skills format: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot and RevampKey. In RevampKey they are attached when you connect Synapse.org; elsewhere you copy the folders into your project or skills directory.

### Do I need the Synapse.org MCP server too?

Yes. The skills tell the agent how to do the work; the Synapse.org MCP server gives it the tools to do it. The Synapse.org MCP setup guide covers every client.
