New Skill: CatchAll Fallback asks to repeat phrase when no intent determined about mycroft-skills HOT 5 OPEN

@krisgesling , yes, I see those there. In the back of my mind I figured they were for localization.

However, as skills scale up, starting complex drastically increases complexity. For example, I will be trying to create a skill that creates other skills. It will be much. much easier to accomplish that small feat with a simplified 'seed' skill, that references a single file holding json data for all intents, dialog, vocab, etc.. than trying to create and write to all those files.. localization could be done within that..

Step by step Im appreciating the complexity (and therefore power) of mycroft, but I always try to start dirt simple, because it has saved me from overcomplicating code many times. That said, I may have to come back to some of the builtin complexity of mycroft as I learn more functionality. ..until then though, Im hoping not.. ;)

..so I hope you can see the counterargument for not using all those various files.. and not trying to cause any rifts here, as were all on the same team! just explaining

Actually, just putting:

        self.speak('what was that?')
        self.bus.emit(Message('mycroft.mic.listen'))
        return True

in place of:
#self.speak_dialog('unknown')
in fallback-unknown seems to work..

Hey, we strongly encourage the use of dialog and vocab files rather than having the messages directly in the code. It is generally easier to read the code, and makes it translatable for those using Mycroft in other languages.

Did you have a dialog/en-us/unknown.dialog file for the above?

Speaking of, I need to understand 'contexts' next, and/or how I can use some kind of fallback skill to catch all commands of a single context, without having the commands overlap intents, Open Chrome vs Open Homepage or Open file for example.

from mycroft-skills.

Yeah totally understand starting simple and building up :)

For contexts, the docs need some love but here are some example skills to give you an idea:

• Grocery List
• Deckchair Cinema

However for the open examples, I'd probably use Adapt intents, each would require two keywords

1. "open"
2. [ application, webpage, file ]

I believe someone else took a similar approach and dynamically generated the 2nd keyword but I can't find it right now :(
