The linear density contrast is Gaussian, so its cubic moment vanishes. The leading contribution is
Two connected Wick contractions give
The third pairing vanishes because . Isotropy makes and , so the angular average of the kernel is
Since to leading order, the unsmoothed matter-density reduced skewness is
This assumes finite unsmoothed variance; inserting a smoothing window generally changes .
