+3. **src/components/SkillsSection.tsx** - Main component for displaying and managing skills
+4. **database-schema-skills.sql** - Database schema with Skills and SkillEndorsements tables

+
+## 🗄️ Database Schema
+
+### Skills Table
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE Skills (
+  id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
+  user_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES auth.users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  skill_name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
+  UNIQUE(user_id, skill_name)
+);
+```
+
+### SkillEndorsements Table
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE SkillEndorsements (
+  id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY,
+  skill_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES Skills(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  endorser_id UUID NOT NULL REFERENCES auth.users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT NOW(),
+  UNIQUE(skill_id, endorser_id)
+);
+```
+
+### Security Features
+- Row Level Security (RLS) enabled on both tables
+- Users can only add/delete their own skills
+- Users can only endorse others' skills (not their own)
+- Unique constraints prevent duplicate skills and endorsements
+
+## 🚀 Setup Instructions
+
+1. **Run Database Migration**
+   ```bash
+   # Execute the SQL in Supabase SQL Editor
+   # File: database-schema-skills.sql
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify Tables**
+   - Check that Skills and SkillEndorsements tables exist
+   - Verify RLS is enabled
+
+3. **Test the Feature**
+   - Navigate to `/profile`
+   - Add skills using "Add Skill" button
+   - Visit another user's profile to endorse their skills
