Hi There!

This would just be a get of the issue you want, then put with the updated field akin to the description in this page: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/updating-an-issue-via-the-jira-rest-apis-6848604/#:~:text=The%20simple%20way%20to%20update,These%20are%20ignored.&text=Some%20fields%20cannot%20be%20updated,(for%20example%2C%20comments). 

The skills module defaults to using the Labels field, so really you'd be adding a label in this format : skill#your_label_here_with_no_spaces

You can also set a skill on create via a post function that would just add that skill label, or you can bulk update your issues if you have one skill you want to apply to many issues.
