If you make the contents list hypertextual, i.e. you simply make each item
there a link to the start of the corresponding article, there is no need for
a separate "skip" link. The first link can be used to jump to the first
article.

Schematically:

<div>Content:</div>
<ul class="toc">
<li><a href="#lue">Life, universe, and everything</a></li>
...
</ul>

<h2><a name="lue" id="lue">Life, universe and everything</a></h2>
