It could be a good idea to add support for mineskin textures by having a mineskin-<id> format.
So f.e. mineskin-1 would automatically apply the skin of https://mineskin.org/1
Tho, with that said, it seems like MineSkin has altered their ID system to use hashes instead of nummerical IDs (Tho from my testing are nummerical IDs still working for the most part)

From what I know, mineskin upload these skins on accounts and in the end they can be accessed with texture.minecraft.net links, right?

Yes. It uses MC accounts to generate the skins, so that they have a valid signature and everything.
While you could use a normal texture value, is it still quite a long value.
F.e.:

Meanwhile the Mineskin ID - even the new ones used - are significantly smaller.

And if I know one thing, it's that people don't want to have really long lines of text...

Yeah well, the first one is an encoded json which contains more info that just the texture url
Hmm, does mineskin even have an api for this?

You can use just the skin url in dmenus as well. Which is a lot shorter

It has a rest api to obtain the stuff
