You should be going Regrowth Pendant + 1 Pot into an early Philosopher's. Your first trip back, you should have enough gold for a Philosopher's and Boots of Speed.

General route to go as jungle Skarner is a quick Wolves (1:40 mark), Blue Golem, Wraiths, Golems, Lizard Elder. After that, you SHOULD be Lvl 4. If not, do a quick Wolf camp and recall. Buy Philosopher's and Boots of Speed on your first trip back. After that, you should look for opportunity's to gank.

My summoner spells are Flash and Smite. Flash lets you get in quick so you can slow em' with your Q. You don't really need Ghost since you have your W and Shurelya's. So Ghost is just overkill. I prefer Flash since once you get close to them, they're not getting away since you're permaslowing them unless they Flash away as well.

The runes I use are AS Marks, Armor Seals, Flat MR Glyphs, and MS Quints. You could probably substitute Armor Pen for the Quints. But I feel that MS helps me gank better. With this set-up, you can do a quick Wolf camp before the Blue Golem can spawn and you can do Blue Golem without a leash as well, but getting a leash gets you out with more HP.

This is stuff coming from someone who mains Skarner.
