Alexa Skills - Developer Voice And Vote
Welcome to the Alexa Skills Feature Request site! This site enables Alexa Skills Developers to request and vote on features you’d like to see in the developer toolset and services for Alexa.
To keep this site purpose-driven and actionable, we moderate requests. Here’s some guidance on how to create great feature requests that can be evaluated by our development teams. For conversation, dialogue or help, you should visit our Alexa forums. We appreciate your input.

Add Exception Intent to Alexa Skill Kit to allow developers handle unrecognized utterances
Please add a feature to allow developers/lambda function to handle unrecognized utterances.
It is frustrating to finetune a Fallback intent to catch all the unpredictable words/utterances that a user might say to allow me to handle it using a Lambda function. If no intent is selected by Alexa, Alexa will just re-prompt once and then do nothing and say nothing after the first re-prompt.
My goal is to allow Alexa to re-prompt twice and for the third time, it can exit the skill when a user says something unrelated. Therefore, it is important to be able to catch all "wrong"…

problems of removing a live skill
After a skill has gone live and gets removed, the changes to the skill cannot be made for invocation name. Everything else can be changed except the invocation name. There is document to deal with the error.

Don't cut off Alexa Client Secret on lower resolution Acocunt Linking page renders
If this page is viewed on a small enough resolution, it will cut off the Alexa Client Secret string without any indication to the end user that they need (or even can?) scroll to the right for the complete string.
Suggestion is to either make it explicit that the string is being visually truncated and you need to expand the window, or add a "copy to clipboard" function to eliminate any issues.

Automatic Validation after Changes
[vishjain@amazon.com] When you navigate to Certification Tab after making a change in Code or Distribution tab

It should launch validation automatically and display only remaining errors after validation checks with new changes.
Observed:
I was been displayed all errors and need to press run to run the validation.1 vote -
Different for certification!
How about creating a way to send certification e-mail to more than one person. This would come in handy when being contracted to do Skill work.

slot value api
My desire: An API to upload a CSV to Edit or Upload Sample Utterances in Bulk
My reason: We have a daily update set of ~ 15000 slot values and it would be very helpful if there was an API to automatically update the slot values using a CSV instead of manually updating them.

Make it obvious you're on dev / live skill
When on the dev console it is hard to tell if the project you have open is the dev or live version of a skill without going to specific pages and seeing if the save button is disabled or not.
This could be solved by putting this status somewhere on the page. I think this could be done by putting this info (dev vs live) on the dev console's top bar (so you can see it everywhere), and maybe even color-coding the info to draw the eye.

API for Accessing Alexa Reporting KPI's
A way to gather Alexa Reporting KPI's like Sessions, Utterances and Visitors without having to log into the Developer Console. Something I could access from an API would be ideal. I'm managing 15 skills and flash briefings and don't want to pull each number manually when it could be easily automated.

editor should keep position in file when moving from tab to tab
The editor should keep the position of where each tab is being edit, so that when we move from one tab to another and then come back to the initial tab, we go to the same place.

Style of skill name on the "menu" bar
I'd like to propose that the name of the skill is shown in a different style, as it's very confusing visually at the moment -- it looks as if it's one of the menu items ('build', 'code', etc.).
If you just changed the colour of the font to, say, blue (matching the Alexa blue), it'd be much, much better.
I've seen that someone posted that they want to see the skill name when editing ("show the skill name when editing"), and that just confirms that the current style is not a good one.

Alexa speak slower
If you can get Audible to slow to 75% why can't you do the same with Alexa?

Show us the analytics on Slot values
The analytics tab in the ADC needs to show slot value analytics. If my slot is 'Color' and the slot values are 'red', 'blue', and 'green', I should not have to go to a 3rd party site to see which of those values is accessed the most. It is unreal to me that this is not already in place out of the gate considering Slots has been around.

Beta Invite through an API
It would be cool when a beta test is in progress, that there is an API or similar to give the developer the opportunity to automatically invite beta testers to the test.
Like a user is registering to the beta test and further he will also be added to the beta test for the skill.1 vote -
console log in test
make it possible to easily see console output. output of console.log() should be visible somewhere within the UI for debugging purposes on the test screen. Doesn't seem checking device log does that, I don't see anything there even though there is a console.log call in my launchrequest handler.

alex developer console would be more helpful if it could process pre recorded audio files
The alexa developer console would be more helpful if it had the ability to test on a batch of pre-recorded audio files. Since its cumbersome to wait for the Alexa to respond for each query. Instead results could be reviewed at a later time to speed up the process. Also, pre recorded audio files can be modified with artifical noise to see how intents are extracted under various background conditions.
