My suggestion would be the same as how I learned to make skills for my human companion.
I started by reverse engineering the native skills and familiarized myself with other skills in the game source.
You can also try learning from other class mods but I prefer to start with the vanilla first just to know the proper compositions.
There's some already made class mods out there that specialized in summoning or minion harnessing that could help you gain quick inspirations. Most popular than I know of are Nethermancer (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=136897944) and PlagueLord (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=299563814).
