When using Alexa hosted skill there's no ability to define the
"outDir": "dist" instead a hardcoded index.js is always used. While this isn't a blocker it's not a great experience.

It would be nice to define a build command when the deploy happens for example in package.json under scripts like the following

npm run compile

which would then compile the TypeScript source code in the src directory and output it to the dist directory.

Your routines will not allow for any of my light switches or plugs to be used as a trigger, hence switch goes on anounce something as action. This restriction makes no sence and cannot seem to be able to find any smart switches or plugs that will show in the routines device triggers screen.

Allow users to enable “DJ Mode” that while streaming music adds cross fades to songs and occasionally has Alexa announce songs with factoids about the music or artist. I miss traditional radio but like listening to more than the same 40 songs. What I miss are the DJs.

A user should be able to link their account mid-session and not be forced to exit the skill to get the benefits of a linked account.

I would like to be able to show a card when the user is confirming an intent. It would be more explicit and, well, confirmatory, to be able to put text on the screen as in addition to the voice prompt, even it it was simply showing the text that matches the prompt that'd be something, but ideally a customizable card...

I have implemented a custom skill for Smoke&CO detector and now I am trying to add/implement notifications for Alexa Echo device when ever detector raises an alarm. I don't find any feasibility to do this either Proactive events/ notifications api. If this is not possible I recommend this feature to be added

I wish to have an activity (state of my pool pump) to be changed based on current air temperature outside. (as in "ON" when below freezing)

I’d like to be able to add an Owner field to Alexa input calendar events so I can identify which family member is the owner of an appointment. That way, anybody can enter their events in the family calendar from Alexa and we identify to whom the event is for.

I can only use a skill at the end of a routine? Why? I want to start with a skill inside my routine, but I get everytime a message, that this skill must be at the end of a routine.

A skill that will allow alexa to connect directly to the overdrive library and play audiobooks or read kindle books that are checked out.

I want the reminder API to be able to launch skills via Skill Connections, like the timer API.

For example
1. The reminder rang.
2. Alexa Skill has launched.
3. Alexa said. Did you do it?
4. User said. Did not do.
5. Alexa said. Then when do you do it?
6. User said. 3 days later. / 5 days later. / others. (Irregular)
7. Alexa Skill has set a new reminder.

I want to create such skills.

Especially in CA, PSPS has become very important.

You should be able to copy text from cards or Alexa responses in the Alexa app, or be able to save out cards and answers to a file.

Have AMAZON.Number accept decimal points in user verbal input. Right now, it handles 'minus' or negative numbers, but not when there is a decimal point.

Add a validation for number of digits in Number Slot

Would it be possible to transmit the name, room-name, or serial number of the respective echo device when sending a directive (e.g. turn-on) through the api to my AVS smarthome device.
This would allow me to react differently depending in which room the voice command was issued.
