Using the three '-l' options shown above and in the following test command with *no**'-t' option* results in a skeletonmaker error, presumably because '-t' and '-n' are mandatory in the 'calc-add-in' command (BUG: the '-t' is displayed in upper case, which can be misleading given case-sensitivity):
see <https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/146126> "Fix typo"
However treating the '-t' option as a service rather than an interface, as follows, works. An <org/openoffice/adl/util> directory tree is created in the directory where the skeletonmaker CLI command was run, and a very plausible skeleton CalcDL1.java file was created in <util> though I haven't been through it in detail.

Your comment "[...] So I would assume that -t must specify that interface type." is what I'd expect too. That's reinforced by the HELP text which states: "-t <name> specifies a UNOIDL type name, e.g. com.sun.star.text.XText (can be used more than once". Not much doubt there...
So the uno-skeletonmaker help and diagnostic output apparently uses, somewhat consistently but maybe also somewhat confusingly, the term "type" to mean both UNOIDL interfaces and UNOIDL services.
There's evidently a discrepancy between the LibreOffice Developer's Guide, the skeletonmaker HELP text, introductory comments in the skeletonmaker source code, all other API guides which repeat the HELP text, and what actually works.
Not sure there's any actual discrepancies here? (Note how <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheet_Documents#Spreadsheet_Add-Ins> also states: "The add-in component has to support two services, the <idl>com.sun.star.sheet.AddIn</idl> service, and an additional service that is used to identify the set of functions that the add-in supplies.")
