Skulski was involved in politics from at least the mid 1910s, and served as mayor of Łódź between 1917 an 1919. During the rebirth of sovereign Poland, he was active in the conservative Zjednoczenie Narodowe, representing the interests of landowners from Liga Narodowa. He became a deputy in the Polish parliament (Sejm) after the 1919 elections from the parliamentary wing of Narodowe Zjednoczenie Ludowe (NZL) which split from Zwiazek Ludowo Narodowy (ZLN) under his leadership, and on 13 December 1919 he became the Prime Minister of Poland.
His government resigned on 9 June 1920, in the aftermath of the failure of the Kiev Offensive and the success of the Bolshevik counteroffensive, in as much as the constitutional impasse resulting from the split of Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe (Polish Peasant Party) "Wyzwolenie".
Skulski was also the Minister of Internal Affairs under the government of Wincenty Witos (from 24 July 1920 to 28 June 1921). President of the Polish Radio in the 1930s, he did not take an active role in political life in the last decade of his life.
During the Invasion of Poland he was arrested in Pińsk by the Soviet People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs. Shortly thereafter he died in the People’s Commissariat of Internal Affairs prison in Brest.
