You could try generating the Skype Scripting Bridge header. That will at least give you better documentation on what Skype's SB API looks like.
Take a look here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/ScriptingBridgeConcepts/UsingScriptingBridge/UsingScriptingBridge.html quick and dirty in the terminal: sdef /Path/To/Skype.app | sdp -fh --basename Skype If Skype is using constants that are defined in the header that is generated, then you will need to generate a BridgeSupport file from the header and load that in your MacRuby script.
