Hey @Ber77, Thanks for the detailed report - the round-trip repro made this easy to pin down. You’re right: the preview reads the skills correctly, but they aren’t being applied to the imported bot. That’s not intended behavior, and it’s nothing on your end. We’ve let the team know and this is an issue we’re tracking. In the meantime, since the full skill body shows in the template preview, you can copy it and ask the new bot to recreate it, e.g. "Create a skill called with this content: ". That gets the skill onto the imported bot until imports handle this end to end. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.cursor.com/t/grok-bot-templates-preview-shows-skills-but-the-export-ships-skills-skills-are-never-delivered/169911)._
