Based on the GitHub issue discussion, I understand the problem and the proposed solution. The issue is about improving the error message when `pytest.skip()` is called outside of a test without `allow_module_level=True`. The maintainers agreed to improve the message to be clearer.

The current error message according to the issue is:
> Using pytest.skip outside of a test is not allowed. To decorate a test function, use the @pytest.mark.skip or @pytest.mark.skipif decorators instead, and to skip a module use `pytestmark = pytest.mark.{skip,skipif}.

The agreed-upon improved message from the maintainers:
> Using pytest.skip outside of a test will skip the entire module, if that's your intention pass `allow_module_level=True`. If you want to skip a specific test or entire class, use the @pytest.mark.skip or @pytest.mark.skipif decorators.

Based on my knowledge of the pytest codebase, the relevant code is in `src/_pytest/outcomes.py`. Here's the patch:
