How do I create a script to do this?

Question

I have a photoshop file with several layers...about 100. I want to put each layers into it's own group. The name of the group must be the same as the name of the layer.
I tried creating a action to do this but it did not work right. It only works for one layer selected individually. If I select multiple layers, then it forms nested groups.
I was told that I can't do this using an action and I would need a script for this.
How do I create this script?
I am using adobe photoshop cs6 ( I think) , windows 7.

This assumes that none of the layer are already in layerSets( group ) and none have layer locking.
if(app.documents.length>0){
    var doc = app.activeDocument;
    while(!doc.artLayers[0].isBackgroundLayer && doc.artLayers.length>0  ){
        var newSet = doc.layerSets.add();
        newSet.name = doc.artLayers[0].name;
        doc.artLayers[0].move(newSet,ElementPlacement.INSIDE);
