Essentially yes, thanks. I was focused on the difference between “I used my intuition (which you cannot be taught because I cannot explain it)” and “I can explain how you can develop a skill”.

I can explain how to develop the skill of intuition
Not possible, you're likely using the wrong words here. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition which does mention the modern misuse to mean intuition and reasoning combined. Anything that uses conscious reasoning (and thus can be taught or acquired as a skill) is not intuition.
