The skeleton of a monoidal category has a monoidal structure itself, induced by the equivalence.
The skeleton of a monoidal category can be viewed as a monoid, where the multiplication is given by the tensor product, and satisfies the monoid axioms since it is a skeleton.
The skeleton of a braided monoidal category has a braided monoidal structure itself, induced by the equivalence.
The skeleton of a braided monoidal category can be viewed as a commutative monoid, where the multiplication is given by the tensor product, and satisfies the monoid axioms since it is a skeleton.
