I can manual edit this when I add the Divergent skill by entering it into the 'needs' tag, it works fine. Then I save to a gdf format and now it no longer loads (meaning I cannot see it in the skill list).
I tried needs("SK:Artist (Woodworking") and needs("SK:Artist (Woodworking)" as well.
What am I missing here?
You have to balance your parentheses! Every opening ( needs a closing ). "SK:Artist (Woodworking)" inside needs() is needs("SK:Artist (Woodworking)"). Compare to what you wrote above. If you don't have balanced parentheses, GCA won't be able to parse the data correctly.
