My mod is complete (minus art), but how to I organize the files? Where do the .xml files go if my sprites are located at sprites/example.png in the code?
You should be able to reference the sprites in with relative paths, IE: your skillDB is in the "skills" folder, and you need to link to an image in the "sprites" folder next to it. The link would be "../sprites/filename.png" "../" means go up a folder. just "/" would mean start from the root, and "./" means stay in the same directory as the file.
