Code:
So this is kinda working..
import maya.cmds as cmds

cmds.shadingNode('misss_fast_shader', asUtility=True, name='skin' )

but it's only creating it in the Work Area, not creating an actual shader, helpful for later though 

[27Sept]
Got it! Set asShader=True
cmds.shadingNode('misss_fast_shader', asShader=True, asUtility=True, name='skin' )
other options -asTexture -asLight -asPostProcess -asUtility

then to add a new texture to map
cmds.shadingNode('lambert', asTexture=True, asUtility=True, name='skin' )
so maybe I don't need the asUtility...?
