Decent feats for low to mid lvl skill monkeys that just don't have enough skill points.

Hmm, these feats mixed with a wand of Divine Insight pretty much get rid of the need for skill monkeys.

[Godskook]

Is there a reason for the restriction of only one? If only one can apply at a time, that naturally discourages people from grabbing more than one, without needing an explicit restriction.

[Darth Stabber]

there is an explicit separation because better Lucky than Good is a luck bonus, where as the other two are insight. Yes They could all be insight, but it doesn't make sense for a feat called Better Luck Than Good to not give a luck bonus, and the other two would not make sense as luck bonuses. So there is an explicit forbiddence to prevent stacking tomfoolery. Thought the int and wisdom ones could very easily not forbid the other but neither should be allowed to stack with charisma.

Divine Insight does kind break these feats, and I cannot Come up with a good limiter to ensure skill monkeying in general is not replaced by two feats, and without another limiter a lvl one human with 18 int can be as good in every skill as every one else is at their few skills. So a lvl based Prerequisite would be necessary. I will add one.

You could rename the Charisma feat (and change its bonus type), since there's already a feat from CScoundrel named Better Lucky Than Good.
