AUCTeX has support for Skim on macOS[1].  In theory, it should work out
of the box with something like this in your init file:

    (setq TeX-view-program-selection '((output-pdf "Skim")))

I'm not on macOS, so I can't test it and I can't tell if the entry

    ("Skim" "open -a Skim.app %o" "open")

is correct in `TeX-view-program-list-builtin'.

Best, Arash
