If by skill you mean, being able to count to the right number of coin flips and happiness double taps, then yes. Getting shinies is certainly not an art.

Nononononononono. How is making a shiny with the nature, ability, gender, egg moves, and IVs (if you reset/RNG for them) of your choice the same as catching a shiny that has no egg moves, random IVs, random ability and gender, and at best a 50% chance of the right nature (if you are using a synchronizer)? There is a reason that chaining for shinies is something that doesn't take math and external programs to do, the shinies you get from it are almost always crap (as the game intended). Not to mention you can only chain certain Pokemon, and some with low appearance rates are very difficult. RNG can make a shiny out of any breedable and none are harder than any others.
