Answer: It is a specific sub-type of a part. Once you create a skeleton part it can contain sketches, Datum features, surfaces, etc. to describe references, locations of the overall design.

Question from J: In top down design, should every subassembly have a skeleton model? Or should you just pull all geometry from the TLA Skeleton?
Answer: Hard to make a sweeping statement there, depends on complexity of the model. Most designs would not require a skeleton in each subassembly, but if it makes sense, no reason not to where appropriate.
