I would love a novella on this. So much happens in such little time. SkyClan gains fifteen cats, the daylight warrior system is set up, and they weather their first leafbare. That is a ton of content for a novella.
Each new member has a unique story that is barely touched on in SD. SkyClan's Destiny only gave us a few paragraphs on this period. Waspwhisker goes from a lost kittypet to a skilled and confident warrior in this time. Shrewtooth is caught spying on the Clan. Lichenfur is rescued from a fox trap. We don't even have a backstory for Fallowfern. And there's the daylight warriors. How did they meet SkyClan? We don't know. Other than Shrewtooth, we don't get anymore information on anyone's past.
And then there's the Clan politics and daily functioning. Leafstar only has a crash course on Clan life to refer to. She will obviously make a lot of mistakes. Her relationship with Sharpclaw could be explored further. By the time SD starts, there's already some tension between them. Why not explore the origin of this conflict? We could also see other situations like Petalnose raising her kits without Rainfur or the development of WaspxFallow. Even just the Clan adjusting as new warriors join could be interesting.
Honestly, there's enough material for another SE here. I know people found SD to be boring because it focused a lot on daily Clan life. But that's why I love it so much. It'd harken back to the older books. There was always a villain, but the Clans also had mother nature herself to contend with too. We don't really see that anymore. These potentially devastating events happen, only for the Clan to get through unscathed. SkyClan obviously got through their first leafbare okay, but we don't know any details.
I may be entirely alone here, but I'd love to see a book on SkyClan's very early days after Firestar left. Thoughts?

I need this, Skyclan and the Stranger is my favorite graphic novel and I love their camp. Also SkyClan is just a pretty awesome clan.

Haha I wrote my first fanfiction on this back in 2014! I loved the pacing of SD even more than the main series and I wanted to explore the baby Clans' struggles. I remember the Leaf/Sharp conflict taking center stage, and I think I had Cherrytail as my MC? Being curious about where that plotline would go was the catalyst into joining the forums and writing haha I'll always love SD for that, even with the amount of hate it gets <3 --Wait I actually had it posted! It didn't get its own thread but I put it on my old works page anyways: demarcation it's cringy middle school writing but it's there lmao

Honestly wished we got a lot more gorge content. I wouldn't have minded their move to join the other four clans if it had happened much later on the timeline, but otherwise we only got like three generations of Modern SkyClan in their separate territory. Plus, the gorge is such an interesting territory, and the concept of a lone clan had so much more story potential than what the authors did with it.

More gorge SkyClan content when? I really love SkyClan and they need more content, I would love to know more about pre-exile SkyClan a few years before they were driven out too.

I would love to see such a book as well! SkyClan is awesome living at the lake territories together with the other Clans but they were even moreso as a completely seperate (and secret to most modern Clan cats until AVoS) group living in the gorge far away from the old forest territories.
Perhaps there could be a chance of this happening if the writing team ever decides to give another older modern SkyClan warrior a novella or even a Graphic Novel. Cherrytail could be an interesting choice since it would also explore her relationship with Sharpclaw further. Or, if they ever want to bring him back (preferably after Hawkwing becomes SkyClan's new leader) and even remember his existence, how about Waspwhisker?

Yes please! I'd love to see their struggles adapting to Clan life. It would be so interesting.
