Can I use Vision of Madness to increase my companions spellcraft check (while he takes negatives to attack rolls/saving throws)for when he's crafting a wonderous item?
Vision of Madness (Sp): You can give a creature a vision of madness as a melee touch attack. Choose one of the following: attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. The target receives a bonus to the chosen rolls equal to ½ your cleric level (minimum +1) and a penalty to the other two types of rolls equal to ½ your cleric level (minimum –1).

The bit you didn't quote goes 'This effect fades after 3 rounds. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.'
A buff generally needs to last as long as the skill check takes. If they're working for 2 hours a day you'd need give them a vision of madness 400 times. Therefore once you get a wis bonus of +397 you're set.
Persuading your GM to allow you to aid another your companions' skill check may be more profitable.
