Morphology
The meaning — a skill associated with a job or role — is directly and predictably built from 'job' (role/position) + 'skill' (ability). This noun–noun composition (the skill of a job) is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents can infer the gaming-specific sense as an ability tied to a character's job.
Etymology
Job skill comes from the simple idea that every job needs certain skills. Long ago, tradespeople taught new workers the exact skills to do a trade, so today the phrase means a skill needed 'to do a job' or to be hired.
