You need skew any time you check a timestamp, in either direction.

I don't understand what that means. Skew is applied in the direction of
comparison of the test, so if it's a check for NotOnOrAfter, you substract
skew from the current time, and if you check NotBefore, you add to it. You
err in the direction of validity.
