In the Cādence Virtuoso documentation you can find descriptions: sklangref.pdf , sklayoutref.pdf , skill_development_functions.pdf & skill_development_help.pdf . In the net you can find e.g. "Cadence® SKILL Language Programming Lecture Manual" & "Cadence® SKILL Language Programming Lab Manual".

OCEAN (Open Command Environment for ANalysis) is an analysis dedicated extension of SKILL (i.e. for simulation). Here you can get the OCEAN reference manual.
 
If you're asking which language SKILL might resemble, that
would be LISP, a semi-ancient LISt Processing language
(because CAD databases are indeed just "lists" of "stuff" -
objects, connections, attributes, hierarchies, etc.).

Ocean is sort of a patch / bridge between the SKILL
language that underpins all Cadence functionality, and
the Spectre simulator. Necessary because the Spectre
command language is as lame as a one legged jellyfish
on tarmac.
