Chains skip when they are worn. Depending on what is worn the most (chainring, sprocket, chain) you may need to replace all three.

My chain is skipping like a bastard at the moment, I think my bike knows that the replacement transmission (chainset, chain, cassette) is somewhere in Germany (Hagen according to the online shipment tracker) on its way from Rose Bikes.
