Although looking at the problem to be solved, I think it's best to use an eval rule to remind the user "hey, you've entitled to a free d6 skill, but until you add the skill to the Skills list, you won't have it" (use a better phrasing, but you get the idea).

The main problem here is that many characters who want to take advantage of this sort of thing will have already added the skill before adding this edge - or, they're adding the edge during character advancement, and already have the skill. So, if you're bootstrapping the skill, there are a number of questions about how it should interact with the version that's already present, and those questions go away if you rely on the user to add the skill themselves.
