Here is an instance of "skidoo" in October 1903 being used as an imperative
meaning "leave", I think.

Date: October 4, 1903
Newspaper: The Courier-Journal
Newspaper Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Article: Soldiers On Duty Do Not Wear Suspenders Section 3, Quote Page 2,
Column 6
Database: Newspapers.com

[Begin excerpt]
"You can get these at the guardhouse, young feller, when you get ready to
leave here. Now, skidoo!"
[End excerpt]
