We recently made a change where project-local skills located in an untrusted project are not loaded. This was based on security concerns. However, based on user feedback and reconsidering the security impact, we've reversed that decision.
I think the change is in the latest prerelease version. If not, it will be in the next one we publish (within the next day).
