Answer 1

The best way is you should destroy the slick slider after reinitializing it.

function slickCarousel() {
  $('.skills_section').slick({
    infinite: true,
    slidesToShow: 3,
    slidesToScroll: 1
  });
}
function destroyCarousel() {
  if ($('.skills_section').hasClass('slick-initialized')) {
    $('.skills_section').slick('destroy');
  }      
}

$.ajax({
  type: 'get',
  url: '/public/index',
  dataType: 'script',
  data: data_send,
  success: function() {
    destroyCarousel()
    slickCarousel();
  }
});

Here we go, guys! It helped me

$('.slick-slider').not('.slick-initialized').slick({
   infinite: false,
   slidesToShow: 1,
   slidesToScroll: 1,
   dots: true,
   arrows: false,
   touchThreshold: 9
});

Note: I am not sure if this is correct but you can give it a try and see if this works.

There is a unslick method which de-initializes the carousel, so you might try using that before re-initializing it.

$.ajax({
    type: 'get',
    url: '/public/index',
    dataType: 'script',
    data: data_send,
    success: function() {
        $('.skills_section').unslick();  // destroy the previous instance
        slickCarousel();
      }
});

Hope this helps.

You should use the unslick method:

function getSliderSettings(){
  return {
    infinite: true,
    slidesToShow: 3,
    slidesToScroll: 1
  }
}

$.ajax({
  type: 'get',
  url: '/public/index',
  dataType: 'script',
  data: data_send,
  success: function() {
    $('.skills_section').slick('unslick'); /* ONLY remove the classes and handlers added on initialize */
    $('.my-slide').remove(); /* Remove current slides elements, in case that you want to show new slides. */
    $('.skills_section').slick(getSliderSettings()); /* Initialize the slick again */
  }
});
