We study the skew information-based coherence of quantum states and derive explicit formulas for Werner states and isotropic states in a set of autotensor of mutually unbiased bases (AMUBs). We also give surfaces of skew information-based coherence for Bell-diagonal states and a special class of X states in both computational basis and in mutually unbiased bases. Moreover, we depict the surfaces of the skew information-based coherence for Bell-diagonal states under various types of local nondissipative quantum channels. The results show similar as well as different features compared with relative entropy of coherence and l1 norm of coherence.
