No. I am doing this by intent – Purpura

I think you should use its API to access the accounts here- developer.skype.com/skype-uris/reference – Cleocleobulus

All contacts (provided they are synced) can be queried with the ContactsContract provider. The RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE column of the RawContacts table indicates the account type for each entry ("raw" means that it contains all entries, e.g. multiple rows for a single person with multiple aggregated contacts).

To read the Skype contacts, you can do something like this:

Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
                RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
                new String[] { RawContacts.CONTACT_ID, RawContacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY },
                RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + "= ?",
                new String[] { "com.skype.contacts.sync" },
                null);

int contactNameColumn = c.getColumnIndex(RawContacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY);
ArrayList<String> mySkypeContacts = new ArrayList<String>();

while (c.moveToNext())
{
    /// You can also read RawContacts.CONTACT_ID to query the 
    // ContactsContract.Contacts table or any of the other related ones.
    mySkypeContacts.add(c.getString(contactNameColumn));
}

Be sure to also request the android.permission.READ_CONTACTS permission in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
