To mirror a skeleton (Armature) in Blender:

Create bones for one side of the rig and name them with “.L” for Left or “.R” for right.
Select all the bones on that side.
In Armature Edit Mode choose:
Armature > Symmetrize

Blender will create mirrored copies of all the bones with respect to the Armature origin and flip their names to names ending with the opposite side.

When editing properly symmetrized bones,
The X-Axis Mirror tool option will simultaneously update both sides of the Armature to maintain symmetry.
