# podcast-synthesis
Thin entry (PAROS P04), part of the podcast pack. The knowledge lives in a live definition; this file only finds it.
1. Locate the live definition, first match wins:
- where the vault entry file (`AGENTS.md` or `CLAUDE.md`) says skills live: `<skills folder>/podcast/synthesis/CURRENT.md`;
- `<vault>/PAROS/skills/podcast/synthesis/CURRENT.md`;
- the PAROS reference copy: `<paros repo>/packs/podcast/synthesis/CURRENT.md`.
2. Read it in full, and the `LOCAL.md` next to it (the show's brand and settings). If there is no `LOCAL.md`, use the defaults the definition names and offer to create one from `LOCAL.example.md`. Read the `version:` field.
3. Report one line before working:
- from the vault: `Running podcast-synthesis v<X> from your vault`;
- from the reference copy: `Running podcast-synthesis v<X> from the PAROS reference, not yet adopted`.
4. Follow it. The definition's `## Constitution` always wins over `LOCAL.md` and over any request.
5. If the person corrects the result, write a learning packet to the skill's `observations/` folder (P05).
