As Gunnar_Zarncke said, “antiskill”, while catchy, is not a good description of a sometimes-detrimental skill. And almost every skill is sometimes a detriment. As you say, it’s context-dependent.
For example, being natural at fighting makes you more likely to engage in a combat and die as a result, but it also makes you more likely to survive a combat when one is unavoidable.
Being a good engineer may mean that you are not promoted to a better paying management position.
Being quick-witted may mean that you don’t learn to work hard until it’s too late.
Using this framework has enabled me to discern strengths and weaknesses that I had previously not considered, and in some cases those strengths and weaknesses have proven decisive to my planning.

Can you give a few examples of this?
