Hi! :-) I'm afraid what you want is not possible with skins, as those are basically about changing colors, fonts etc. and rearranging some basic structure (e.g. navigation at the top or on the side) - you can't actually add content through a skin.

Both the things you mention sound like something that could go into the Notes field, either before or after the work. If you're using Firefox, there's an add-on you can use for storing snippets of text - you can put your standard disclaimer there and insert it into the Notes field with just two clicks whenever you post a work. Let me know and I'll find it for you.

There *might* be a possibility to have something like a sidebar column for your works, but I would have to do some more research for this. And it might make your code a bit messy, if you put it right with your fic. But again, I would have to poke around a bit more.

The way CSS usually generators work is they give you a bit of HTML (your basic framework, e.g. a header, main content area, footer and so on) and the corresponding CSS for putting everything in the right position and prettying it up and such. With the AO3 *site* skins, the HTML framework is already in place, and you can only use CSS to style what's there. With *work* skins, you can include HTML in your fic and style it with CSS, but again, adding actual content is not supported. Please let me know if you'd like to know more about how to use skins and I'll bundle up some pointers. :-)
