Skype has no publicly accessible protocol documentation, so short of 
someone reverse engineering the encrypted protocol (which is not likely 
to happen), third party support of Skype is not currently possible.

Trillian used a component of Skype called SkypeKit, which itself is no 
longer supported and is in the process of being depreciated and 
potentially removed from Skype, so at this point, your only option is to 
use an open messenger network, or the proprietary Skype client.
