Abstract
We present a construction of skew monoidal structures from strong actions. We prove that the existence of a certain adjoint allows one to equip the actegory with a skew monoidal structure and that this adjunction becomes monoidal. This construction provides a unifying framework for the description of several examples of skew monoidal categories. We also demonstrate how braidings on the original monoidal category of a given action induce braidings on the resulting skew monoidal structure on the actegory and describe sufficient conditions for closedness of the resulting skew monoidal structure.
