A way of construction of semiclassical wave function (SWF) based on the Maslov - Fedoriuk approach is proposed which appears to be appropriate also for systems with chaotic classical limits. Some classical constructions called skeletons are considered. The skeletons are generalizations of Arnolds' tori able to gather chaotic dynamics. SWF's are continued by caustic singularities in the configuration space rather then in the phase space using complex time method. The skeleton formulation provides us with a new algorithm for the semiclassical approximation method which is applied to construct SWF's as well as to calculate energy spectra for the circular and rectangular billiards as well as to construct the simplest SWF's and the respective spectrum for the Bunimovich stadium. The scar phenomena are considered and a possibility of their description by the skeleton method is discussed.
