From import-jdl generator code, the skip client option must be set per entity: https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/blob/master/generators/import-jdl/index.js?utf8=%E2%9C%93#L146

So, it must be used in JDL file itself, see doc about unary définitions: https://www.jhipster.tech/jdl/#optiondeclaration

Declaring as below worked for me.

entity Jhi_user {
    id String,
    login String,
    city String,
    stateProvince String,
}
skipClient Jhi_user
