## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

## Documentation

### Device Control

Naming for reliable control: Location + device type. "Kitchen light", "Bedroom fan". Avoid model numbers.

Room-based commands:

"Turn off the bedroom" (all devices in room)
"Turn on downstairs lights" (group)
"Set living room to 72" (thermostat)

Protocol hierarchy: Matter > Zigbee > Wi-Fi. Built-in Zigbee hubs: Echo Plus, Echo 4th gen, Echo Show 10.

Device not responding? Check Alexa app → Devices → find device → verify online status. Re-discover if needed.

### Routines

Create via: Alexa app → More → Routines

Triggers:

Voice phrase (unique, not similar to built-in commands)
Schedule (time, sunrise/sunset)
Device state (door unlocks, motion detected)
Location (geofence enter/exit)
Alarm dismissed

Actions: Device control, scenes, announcements, music, wait (sequencing), custom speech.

Routine fails? Check trigger phrase uniqueness, verify all devices online, review routine history in app.

### Shortcuts Integration

Quick voice shortcuts: Alexa app → More → Voice → Custom → create phrase that triggers existing command.

Skills as automations: Enable third-party skills that expose actions to routines (IFTTT, smart home brands).

Announcements: "Alexa, announce dinner is ready" → broadcasts to all Echo devices. Useful in routines.

### Smart Home Setup

Adding devices:

Enable brand's skill in Alexa app
Link account if required
"Alexa, discover devices" or Devices → + → Add Device
Assign to room (critical for room-based commands)

Groups vs Scenes:

Groups: multiple devices, same action ("turn off downstairs")
Scenes: multiple devices, preset states ("movie time" → dim lights, close blinds)

Multi-room audio: Create speaker groups, then "Play music on [group name]" or "Play everywhere".

### Skill Development

When building custom skills:

Required intents: AMAZON.HelpIntent, AMAZON.StopIntent, AMAZON.CancelIntent, AMAZON.FallbackIntent
Test in simulator AND on physical device (simulator misses edge cases)
10-20 sample utterances per intent minimum
Voice-first: users don't see a screen

Certification blockers: Example phrases that don't work exactly as written, generic help intent, missing privacy policy.

### Troubleshooting

ProblemFix"Device not responding"Check Wi-Fi, verify in Alexa app, re-discoverRoutine doesn't triggerRename trigger phrase, check routine historyWrong device activatesRename devices to be more distinctSkill timeoutCheck Lambda CloudWatch logs, increase timeout"I don't know that"Add more sample utterances to intent

### Privacy Controls

Voice history: Alexa app → Privacy → Review Voice History. Enable auto-delete (3 or 18 months).

Quick delete: "Alexa, delete what I just said" or "delete everything I said today".

Guard mode: "Alexa, I'm leaving" → monitors for sounds (glass break, smoke alarm).
