There are docs online to help you out, try googling for "max-rpm.pdf". Something very simple would have your %install section copying the files over to the appropriate locations in your filesystem, then list the files to be packaged up in the %files section. Any pre-install or post-install tasks can be scripted in your %pre and %post sections, respectively.
