I suspect that you haven't changed the character's level.
Pathbuilder lets you plan out future levels, but doesn't apply those changes to the character's stats - including for pets like Animal Companion or Eidolon - until you actually set the character to the level where those changes happen.
On the web-app, you will find the level adjustment field at the top, near the "Hide Plan" button.
On the android app, you will find it at the top in the About tab.
It happens to people more than you might expect! It's a useful feature for planning, but it's not always immediately apparent what is going on.
I assume you're referring to the Lore skill associated with your eidolon, such as Lore: Dragons or Lore: Angel. Are you by chance taking the Eidolon Contact background? Pathbuilder writes it out as "Lore: Dragon Eidolon", but it should really be "Lore: Dragon", so it's not just about your specific eidolon.
These lore skills represent your specific knowledge relating to the subject. Any time something in-game comes up related to Dragons, for example, you may be able to roll your Lore: Dragons skill to learn something about it, typically at a lower DC as compared to a more general skill like Arcana.
And the Eidolon can use their Lore skills for the same things that the Summoner or any other character can use them for.
Which is mostly for role-play and making a character that has something interesting to do when not killing things.
It can be used for Earn Income, though I don't think that both the Summoner and Eidolon can use Earn Income separately during the same Downtime. Act Together only says that they can both use separate and simultaneous Exploration activities.
The Lore skill can also be used for Recall Knowledge checks if the Lore is appropriate to the task.
