To create new items in a dictionary, you can do dict["[item]"] = "value", and to load a JSON file as a dictionary, you can use the json library. Therefore, you can do it as follows:
import json
with open("data.json") as data_file:
data = json.load(data_file)
data["skills"]["NewSkill"] = { # Replace with actual name
description = "NewSkill's description" # Replace with actual `description`
level = 10 # Replace with actual `level`
per = 0 # Replace with actual `per`
}
with open("data.json", "w+") as data_file:
json.dump(data, data_file)
