Is there a method to express skills associated with a @Person? For example, we tried this, but it violates the JobPosting domain.

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": {
    "@vocab": "http://schema.org/",
    "id": "@id",
    "type": "@type"
    },
    "type": "Person",
    "id": "#person-name",
    "name": "John Doe"
}
</script>

<script type="application/ld+json">
{
"@context": {
    "@vocab": "http://schema.org/",
    "id": "@id",
    "reverse": "@reverse",
    "type": "@type"
    },
    "type": "JobPosting",
    "reverse": { "skills": { "id": "#person-name" } }
}
</script>

The only other alternative we see is to use additionalType for @Person and then use name to expose the label for the skill. But this approach 'dangles' when juxtaposed with other statements using additionalType. Are we missing a cleaner solution hiding in plain sight?

+1 on adding a property for skills to the Person type to help specify what a person does or is able to do.

It seems this request in a real need as its pops up again. Should we suggest already a pull request?

There is some very active work underway currently for describing courses - see #195 - I suggest we see what comes out of that effort regarding description of skills and documented topical credentials.

Works for us. One note of advice. In our humble opinion skills for the domain JobPosting should be different than the future term for skills that may be in domain Person. We can explain when the new proposal surfaces.
