2. Select any single pointed skinned vertex, and then Run above commands from shelf button only.
3. And then continue just using short key 'g' again and again as you need (like 3 to 4 times or 10 to 15 times etc) and See the magic..
4. Use same 'g' key for different selection of single vertex or multiple vertices at different locations

Test File: (Test it on below vertex on Arnold model given along with this tool)
------------
Test 01:
-----------
from pymel.all import *
from pymel.core import *
select('Skin_Mesh.vtx[1184]', r=1)
# And run above command from shelf button you saved for 5 times using short key 'g'

Test 02:
----------
from pymel.all import *
