It's similar to 0.6.  The following code in ~/.devsketch/userhooks.py
would create a new menu in the context menu called "My Own Menu" with a
command "My Command" that does nothing:

import Sketch

def my_command(context):
    pass

Sketch.Editor.Add(Sketch.Editor.Command("my_command", "My Command",
                                        my_command))
Sketch.UI.skapp.main_menu.AddItem(("My Own Menu",), "my_command")


The context parameter to the function implementing the command is
basically the same as in 0.6.  The main difference from a script
author's point of view is that Skencil distinguishes between an editor
and the document now.  The editor implements the interaction with the
document and manages the selection among other things.

The boiler-plate code at the end to create a command object, add it to
the registry and create a menu item is a bit repetitive but there'll be
more convenience functions later to handle the most common setups.
