Consider using position: fixed instead of position: absolute. While both work in this case, fixed is more semantically correct for a skip link that should always be positioned relative to the viewport, and it makes the positioning behavior more explicit and predictable regardless of parent element positioning.

The skip link may not consistently focus the main content across all browsers. Consider adding an onClick handler that prevents default behavior, scrolls to the element, and programmatically calls .focus() on it. For example: onClick={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); document.getElementById('main-content')?.focus(); }}. This ensures consistent behavior across browsers and properly announces the focus change to screen readers.

    <a
      href="#main-content"
      className={styles.skipLink}
      onClick={(e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        const mainContent = document.getElementById('main-content');

The verbose comment about CSS modules testing can be simplified or removed. The test correctly verifies that the component renders. If concerns about CSS module class names remain, consider either removing this test (since it only checks rendering which is already covered by the first test), or simplifying the comment to a brief note about CSS module handling.

The inline style removing the outline could create an accessibility issue. When the skip link focuses this element, keyboard users won't see any visual indicator that focus has moved to the main content. Consider either removing the inline style to allow the default focus indicator from global.css (:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid var(--md-sys-color-primary); }), or adding a custom focus style that provides a visible indicator while preventing unwanted outlines during normal navigation. A better approach would be to use :focus:not(:focus-visible) in CSS to handle this case.
