In FASM, you don't need any kind of skeleton if what you're trying to build is a COM file (something short, as you ask). Even for an EXE file, there will be no much more you will have to write. You can make the COM file like this:
org 100h
mov ah,9
mov dx,message
int 21h
xor ah,ah
int 21h
int 20h
message: db "Hello, world!", 0Ah, 0Dh, "$"
That should be enough. For an EXE file, it's the same. You just have to add a
format MZ at the beginning and define a main segment and an entry point. But this all is explained in the FAQ and plus, there are examples in the FASM ZIP that show this quite well!
