Hey good call! Turning off Power Nap on Mojave has restored Skim to its former glory. It now updates automatically when I change a PDF from LaTeX.
On Mojave you don't seem to be able to disable app nap per application any more, but I can turn it off system-wide by unchecking the "Enable Power Nap" option on the "Power Adapter" tab of the Energy Saver preferences pane. This is ok, since I am always plugged into a power adapter when I am using the external screen. Something for the Wiki perhaps. Many thanks for your helpful support, and more generally thanks for Skim.app itself.
