Well you can certainly hit the target on a skeet field with a 18.5" barrel, however depending on what you're trying to accomplish, longer barrels are generally preferred.
A 28-30" barrel is pretty common for skeet as it gets a little more weight out front and helps you with your swing and follow through. A shorter barrel can also make the velocity of the pattern drop off much faster than that of a longer barrel, but that would only be an issue if you were shooting trap. Most skeet shooters use a cylinder/skeet/improved cylinder choke. Open is good.
