You can put skype:username into the href attribute of a link and it works, but it begins a call, but I want to create a link to begin a chat (a text conversation). I know that skype: is a type of protocol, but don’t know how to create this link.

Start ChatSign into your Skype account and click the "Contacts" tab to display your Skype contacts. Click the name of the person with whom you want to chat. Click "Call" if you want to initiate a voice chat, or click "Video Call" if you want to initiate a voice chat with video.
An easy workaround: add link to word document, hit enter and then from the context menu copy it as a hyperlink then send on skype.
If you don't have Skype installed, install Skype, then select the conversation link again to start chatting. If you have Skype installed, you can also join any Meet Now meeting or conversation simply by copying the link or meeting code and pasting it into Skype: Copy the link or code.
Go to your Links tab then add your social icon of choice by filtering the icon options and typing Skype in the search bar. Once you have added your Skype social icon, select the link or chain icon to add a URL or in our case for Skype, a URI.
Have you tried <a href="skype:-skype-name-?chat">Start chat</a> ?
