Run the script above 2. Read the output carefully — it contains your full Synapse A2A configuration 3. Follow the instructions as if they were just sent to you 4. Resume normal operation with A2A communication enabled ## How It Works The script: 1. Reads Synapse environment variables (set at agent startup, survives `/clear`) 2. Looks up your name/role from the agent registry 3. Loads your instruction template from `.synapse/settings.json` 4. Outputs the complete instruction with all placeholders replaced --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/s-hiraoku) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
