So, how do we know the exact effects we get when we upgrade the skill level?
Long story short, i was playing my ench, got pissed off by my bad stone skin tankiness, realized it was lv1 only, and thought "well,if i level it, it will get better" i did and noticed nothing different.(I know having a more HP = better stone skin, but im low on spina so i focused on the skill itself)
In the end, the only diff i've seen is the mp cost so, where do i find the info on the skill levels effects, or how do we "calculate" it.
(Also goes to equips and crystas that increase Skill lv, like balenia, guiding rod, eldercast and so on).

Easiest way to quantify it via testing
1. Find a mob that does about 1k damage and up. Most important is that each hit must be consistently the same frequently.
2. Test the damage without stone skin and with equips that don't have additional stats.
3. Test the damage with stone skin lvl1
4. Test the damage with variations of stone skin levels.
5. Calculate the increases in "tankability" per lvl with the damage without stone skin being the base damage taken and the damage taken with stone skin being an increase from that.
Notes: using the consistent damage from the mob you can calculate precisely how much damage stone skin nullifies by how many hits it nullifies and whatever damage is left over can be subtracted from the damage it would've nullified if the stone skin was at full.
I want to write an equation on this but then I'd have to clearly define a lot of things related to tanking as it relates to specific aspects of stone skin but seems unnecessary to know unless you plan to experiment EXTENSIVELY with stone skin.
So I'll just try to summarize all the things you need to do if you choose to experiment yourself:
1. Identify all factors involved with no exception.
2. Understand each factor individually to the fullest extent possible by use of theory or factual based hypotheses
3. Categorize all these factors in separate and possibly intersecting groups based on how they interact with each other.
4. Synthesize a method to test and validate these theoretical interactions observed in step 2.
5. If tests fail start over from step 2.
6. If successful then depict how they interact with each other using the understanding you now have of them in order to make it easier to come with an answer next time instead of going through experimenting.
If you even choose to not do experimentation this should be useful for you in other areas of life, after all this is how scientists go about understanding things.... I think? I dont think i remember the scientific method precisely but that's at least how I experiment with things.
Good luck from the church of Almas.
