What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
Skill discovery skips any skills directory named synced, which is reserved as the root that claude.ai syncs into. Importing from it reports the directory as skipped and explains that you should rename it and import manually.
Details
Discovery logs a debug line and moves on; nothing in that directory is loaded as a local skill.
If you already keep hand-written skills in a folder called synced, rename it or they will silently stop being picked up.
Evidence
'synced' is the sync-owned root
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
