The Atlassian Community Forums are currently in read-only mode. We will be relaunching on a new platform on September 22 (read more here). We apologize for the extended downtime. For concerns or questions, please email communitymanagers@atlassian.com. See you on the other side, on the new Atlassian Community Forums! :)
Skills are a feature of the former Portfolio Live Plans, an older version of the tool that is no longer supported since July 31st (see this announcement).
While intrinsically a powerful feature, it took a ridiculous amount of work and commitment to actually use in real life scenarios: for every single issue on a roadmap, the feature required to split up estimates across all involved users and skills in order to generate a realistic roadmap. Atlassian has chosen a more pragmatic approach to planning in the new UI, which is also commented in the same announcement I linked above.
