Synthesis Mac Sync
A methodology for keeping multiple Macs in sync using iCloud for configuration files and Git for repositories. Designed to run fully automated via an AI coding assistant — the user says "run my mac-sync" and the assistant handles everything.
This skill provides the protocol — the sync methodology, safety rules, conflict resolution, and manifest format. Your personal config file (a README or manifest in your iCloud sync folder) provides the specifics: which files, which machines, which repos.
