Skills are reusable instructions it can load for a task. It used to write that list once without checking it. It can now re-read the list up to twice afterwards:\n\n- If skills it just downloaded are missing, it writes them back.\n\n- If they are still missing after that, the sync does not count as clean.\n\nBoth cases are logged.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis fixes a timing problem where skills you had just synced could quietly disappear from the list.\n\n- Area: Skills\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
