If you had a remote source (e.g. a Notion page) configured as a skill, and the fetch failed (401, timeout, whatever), hub generate would still overwrite the previously synced content with the local copy from ./skills/. The good content was gone, replaced by whatever was sitting in the local folder.
What happened
The generate flow for all editors (Cursor, Kiro, Claude Code, OpenCode) does two things in sequence:
- Copy local skills from
./skills/to the editor’s skill directory (e.g..kiro/skills/) - Sync remote sources (Notion, URL, etc.) on top
Step 1 always ran — even for skills that are managed by remote sources. So if step 2 failed, the file was already overwritten by the local copy.
The fix
Skills that are defined as remote_sources in your config are now skipped during the local copy step. This means:
- If the remote fetch succeeds → fresh content is written as before
- If the remote fetch fails → the existing file from a previous successful sync is preserved
The fix applies to all four generators.
