The characteristics of stationary and non-stationary skew-gradient systems are studied. The skew-gradient representations of holonomic systems, Birkhoffian systems, generalized Birkhoffian systems, and generalized Hamiltonian systems are given. The characteristics of skew-gradient systems are used to study integration and stability of the solution of constrained mechanical systems. Examples are given to illustrate applications of the result.
