Skills in Pathfinder: Kingmaker are covered on this page.
Skills represent your character's ability to accomplish tasks not (directly) related to murdering living, breathing things with extreme prejudice (but, for example, convincing them to do the same to one another). Skills listed here are Consolidated Skills, where core Pathfinder skills are aggregated into skill groups, to increase the utility and flexibility.
The amount of skills a character gets per level is based on the class and then gains 1/2 of the Intelligence modifier. For example an int of 12 (a +1 bonus) would grant 1 skill rank at 1st and 3rd level but not 2nd or 4th level and so on. an int of 14(a +2 bonus) however would grant 1 skill rank every level.
