A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1\\ -1 & 0 &1 \\ 1 & -1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

The transpose of A is

A' = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & 1\\ 1 & 0 &-1 \\- 1 & 1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

A' =- \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & -1\\ -1 & 0 &1 \\ 1 & -1 &0 \end{bmatrix}

A' =- A

Since,A' =- A so given matrix is a skew-symmetric matrix.
