Handy skill imitated by Rex, somehow (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ambidexterity

'handy skill' is the definition.
(I know that ambidexterity is handy)

'imitated by rex somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'imitated'+'by'+'rex'='imitatedbyrex'
'imitatedbyrex' anagrammed gives 'AMBIDEXTERITY'.

(Another definition for ambidexterity that I've seen is " Having equal use of both hands".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
