Standard Skype buttons can detect and show the status of the user. Have a look here. If you wanted the status to be real-time, you could refresh it using AJAX.

However, if you prefer to handle the code yourself, you can easily retrieve your skype status by using

http://mystatus.skype.com/nnnn.num

where nnnn is the Skype name you're interested in. It returns the following:

0 – unknown
1 – offline
2 – online
3 – away
4 – not available
5 – do not disturb
6 – invisible
7 – skype me
