I'd add to that that it can be worth asking the group as a whole what they remember about the character. It may not even be a skill on the character sheet, it may be something that was pure roleplay in RQ. Like his tendency to insist on the finest wine in bars, the way he always wears green, or his skill at musical burping.
Now put it on the HQ character sheet! Relationships, too. RQ won't have had them. Personality traits.

If no-one remembers a skill, it probably wasn't important. So leave it out. Or subsume it under one of the keywords.
