Say Hey Brain, Brain or Okay Brain followed by your query (i.e Hey Brain, What is the weather in Paris).
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:_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!
