I can't cite it, but in the UK in the 1980s things that were great/excellent were often referred to as being "skill" (at least by children); so there's an adjective sense, even if it's only school playground slang. Equinox◑20:41, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I work in an industry where this word is used to designate a call routing split (ACD) to specific agents with a particular "skill" in handling a certain type of call volume (caller, inquiry, etc.). It's an industry term. Perhaps it should be labelled as such (?) Leasnam (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
By extension, yes, ACD splits are commonly referred to simply as "skills", and can therfore also be used to refer to the "setting". The definition is adequate for Wiktionary. The ones I have given above show the evolution of the term, and are less known by those outside the industry. I would leave it as is, or remove it, as it is jargon.

It needs to be understandable by people outside the industry; keep if attested (which is why it is listed here) and clean up so that more people can understand it. Mglovesfun (talk) 21:37, 27 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
"A term referring to..." isn't a good start to a definition, unless it's a {{non-gloss definition}}. (For example, the definition of "cat" should be "a feline animal...", not "a term referring to a feline animal".) However, I could interpret the two citations as uses of the general sense of "skill" ("capacity to do something well"), so I don't know how to rework the definition.
