JavaScript Reference has 'getRotationMatrix', 'getScaleMatrix', 'getTranslationMatrix'.

But there is NOT 'getShearMatrix'!!

use the Matrix properties b & c, the actual skewing values are in percentages of the objects dimensions, not degrees as in the UI...if you need angle values, that would be your homework.

draw a rectangle, select it and run the script to skew or shear 50%

var idoc = app.activeDocument;
var sel = idoc.selection[0];
var im = app.getIdentityMatrix();
//im.mValueB = .5; // skew y 50%
im.mValueC = .5; // skew x 50%
sel.transform (im, true, true, true, true, 1, undefined);
