brew services is a "user friendly" way to interact with launchd services. skhd handles it's own launchd service with --start-service etc.

So you dont actually need to use both - in fact I'm pretty sure the recommended way to interact with the service for skhd is via skhd itself.

so what you should do: execute skhd --start-service and see if skhd is working. If you want to stop the service, execute skhd --stop-service.

Also, in future, a more descriptive issue title will not only be more enticing for people to engage with, but it will also help others who have a similar issue in the future to find a solution to their current problem (and to avoid lodging an issue themselves).

Something like "cannot start skhd service with brew" or if no descriptive title comes to mind, then the error message you encounter "Formula skhd has not implemented #plist, #service ... etc"
