I'd probably have left it as an ability. Sure, it might be broadly applicable, but mostly as an augment (or with penalties).
I'd stick to secondary keywords as things that are already keywords.

If you're starting everything off at 13, I'd make it pretty small.

I don't think it makes all that much difference. In the long run, you can only improve a few skills. Sure, you might be able to squeeze out a few extra augments by having "too many" abilities. But it doesn't seem like a real problem in play.
