"Stop" when "Follow up" mode is on....
While I'm a fan of the newly launched "Follow up" mode, how it handles stop in the context of a Third Party skill creates some non-trivial user experience problems, where the skill continues to listen after the user has said "stop". For users, "Stop" has a clear meaning. Stop the interaction with Alexa. It doesn't mean, stop talking to the skill and lets go back to "Alexa proper". That's not the user's mental model.

Unlink Endpoint
Please provide an endpoint for when a user disables (unlinks) a linked skill.
This will allow us to know its time to delete any data we have for the user, and therefore be good to users with the use of their data.3 votes -

3rd Party Skills in Templates
With the release of Skill Templates, Amazon has an very easy way to implement one of the most requested features: allow 3rd party skills to be invoked without saying an invocation phrase.
Templates should support 3rd party skills. The "Custom Q&A" Template allows Alexa to answer questions without invocation phrases (e.g., "What's dad's phone number?") It should also allow such questions to invoke 3rd party skills selected by the user.

Developer Support Contact Us - Add ticket status, message history & make cases/tickets closed to general public
Developer Support Contact Us link that shows the message history and current status of opened tickets.
Right now the only options are to post in the Alexa Skills Forum or submit a contact us ticket here.
https://developer.amazon.com/support/contact-us?caseID=XXXXXX
Creating a portal where a user can check the status of their tickets would help reduce the number of duplicate submissions, less work connecting the tickets to each other.
I'd also recommend that the public can't view the ticket's message history and status unless they are logged in with valid permissions, so skill-Id's and details about IP won't be shared to the general…

Remove/Delete Suppressed skills in Developer Account
Currently, Suppressed or inactive skills remain in developer accounts and create Clutter.
Allow for Developers to manage and maintain their developer accounts for organization and clarity.
Additionally a suppressed skill in a developer account still shows as "LIVE" which is in accurate this should be adjusted immediately.

I prefer using Opera, and when working on my skills I am forced to open Chrome so the console can work decently.
Make it compatible with Opera, not only Chrome

Implement with SSML.

Add some kind of "anti-trigger" to ignore the wake word in audio.
Allow the adding of some kind of "anti-trigger" that will stop Alexa waking itself when the invocation word is mentioned in a podcast, or SSML audio. And/or, allow a flag that will reduce sensitivity to the wake-word during a particular piece of audio, using the mic array to detect whether the wake word was generated internally or externally.
I know that there is an unofficial theory that self-invocation can be lessened by boosting / cutting certain frequencies around the actual wake-word, but this isn't always practical where third-party audio is involved.

Service Status Monitors
On March 2nd there was a system-wide Alexa outage, taking down the ability to use the voice assistant, as well as the ability to use the developer console.
For many of us in the development community, this appeared at first to be an issue with our skills, so we ended up getting spun up in troubleshooting mode.
As a developer, I would like the ability to check the overall health of the Alexa components that I am dependent upon.
AWS does a great job of this exact thing, and could serve as a model: https://status.aws.amazon.com/

One-click return to console
Should be easier to return to the console from the details of a specific skill. Rather than (or in addition to) "Your Alexa Consoles", add a "Current Console" link that provides a one-click return to the current console.

Enable and allow true push capabilities
Expanding the current implementation of Push would unlock a massive developer opportunity. Please allow devs to build and users to select skills that can speak without the user initiating the conversation. If a skill gets annoying they can turn it off.
