I wanted to tell my friend that I had skills in persuading people. I stood for 5 minutes just thinking whether I should say "persuading skills", "persuasive skills", or "persuasion skills". Also, "manipulative skills, manipulation skills, manipulating skills"? To decide which one to use, I went searching online dictionaries, and it just created further confusion.

I have noticed that when the word has no verb form or its verb form is not very popular, we use its adjectival form before the word skill such as
Political skill / athletic skill / artistic skill /mathematical skill / technical skill / tactical skill / social skill

When the word has the gerund as a noun, then it is the word that precedes skill such as
reading skill / writing skill / hunting skill / shooting skill / wrestling skill / fishing skill

However, when the case is neither of those, confusion arises. In the following cases, how would you decide which one to use?

1. Persuading skill / persuasion skill / persuasive skill

2. Manipulating skill / manipulation skill / manipulative skill

3. Negotiating skill / negotiation skill / ..

4. Interpretive skill / interpretation skill

5. Investigating skill / investigative skill / investigation skill

6. Navigating skill / navigation skill / navigational skill?

7. Performing skill / performance skill
