I am currently creating a skill, that requires setup.

If the user starts the skill for the first time or the skill is not setup yet, the conversation should look like this:

You: Alexa, open <myskill>

Alexa: Hello, you haven't setup <myskill> yet, ... location or sensor id?

Possibility A:

You: Location

Alexa: What's your location?

You: Berlin

Alexa: Done, ...

Possibility B:

You: Sensor ID

Alexa: What's your sensor id?

You: 1234

Alexa: Done, ...

How can I realize something like this? Do I need different intents? What slots do I need?

skill alexa intents slots python

I'd recommend starting off with a sample skill that uses dialog management and entity resolution to get an idea of how you could implement this:

If you're just looking to start off with a simple skill to understand how to use intents and slots, here's another sample to get you started.

Good luck!
