priming

The fact that you are skipping the secondary is of no consequence at all. You use the same amount of sugar whether you transfer to secondary or not. So, if you normally use 1 cup sugar with good results, then do the same for this batch.

However, I do have to say, you should not prime in the bottles, if that is what you plan to do! That's too much hassle, and the results are more unpredictable and can lead to some bottles being undercarbonated, and/or some gushers. Instead, dissolve the sugar in a small amount of water and boil for a few minutes, let cool, and then add to the beer all at once. It's much easier that way.

Why skip the secondary? Oh well, matter of personal preference, I suppose.

In any case, it's no different. Rack from the primary to a priming bucket (sanitized, of course), add the usual cup of sugar, stir slowly to mix well, then bottle. Don't (or anyway, I wouldn't) prime in the bottles. A lot of hassle, relatively speaking, and rife w/inconsistencies. Using a priming bucket to prime it all uniformly is, IMHO, the only way to go.
