Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
Good social skills can help you make friends more easily.
In my opinion, social skills are just as important as academic knowledge, especially when working in a team.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: He has good social skill.
Say: He has good social skills.
Usually plural — 'skills'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Social/people skills' is everyday; 'interpersonal competencies' is HR jargon.
