Add a skill by creating a new folder with the name of your new skill and adding an index.js.
Add functions for intent and {skill_name}_resp to that index, the latter contining the logic that will respond to a query. The {skill_name}_resp function must have a response type of String
In intent add return {keywords:['key 1','key 2'], module:'{skill_name}'} where keywords are the phrases you wish the skill to respond to and {skill_name} is the name of your new skill.
Add module.exports = {intent, get: {skill_name}_resp}; to the end of your index.js
Add that new folder to the skills directory in the project.
And bang, Brain will automatically import and enable your new skill!
For more detail on adding skills see the Wiki page Adding Skills.
