Importing from it reports the directory as skipped and explains that you should rename it and import manually.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Discovery logs a debug line and moves on; nothing in that directory is loaded as a local skill.\n- If you already keep hand-written skills in a folder called `synced`, rename it or they will silently stop being picked up.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`'synced' is the sync-owned root`\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Names: `synced`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
