I've been using https://github.com/NeonGeckoCom/neon-mana-utils to see the message bus in real time. Add self.log.info() message to your handler method to indicate it's been triggered.
Command:
mana tail-messagebus

Based on https://openvoiceos.github.io/ovos-technical-manual/skills_bus/, you can run a small script to manually emit the event your code is "suppose" to recognize. I was able to trigger my skill this way.

you probably want mycroft.ready event instead
