Digital literacy has now established itself as a mandatory professional competency for teachers. Considering the perspectives of digital skills, we note the contradictions between the basic skills of pedagogical excellence, potentially actualized already in the short-term dimension. The research exploration aims to analyze the status of digital competencies in the general matrix of knowledge, skills, and abilities of teacher of the future. The article aims to position digital skills in three interpretations: as a part of flexible skills, as an element of fundamental skills, and as an independent component of pedagogical professional training. The optimal methodological arsenal to investigate this scientific and pedagogical problem consists of general scientific, pedagogical, and scientific- philosophical methods. The results of the article describe an acceptable balance of competencies of the teacher, which provides a high level of qualification, determining the role and place of digital skills in the system of professional excellence. Prospects for further research are predicting the correlation of theoretical-methodological and practical elements of digital competencies of a pedagogical specialist with segments of heavy and flexible skills of his professional training.
