Settings

Basic scenario description consists of several yaml lines. Those lines are generated automatically after you create a new scenario in BotTalk:

---
include:
  - intents.yml
  - slots.yml
  - tests.yml
scenario:
  name: 'My skill name'
  locale: en_US
  invocation: 'my super skill'
  category: EDUCATION_AND_REFERENCE
  examplePhrases:
    - 'Alexa, open my super skill'
    - 'Alexa, ask my super skill about hotdogs'

The include section describes which files should be included in the main scenario file.

The includes are followed by the main scenario section with basic settings. All parameters are obligatory, but could be changed at the later date in the Amazon Developer Console / in Dialogflow.
