So i was hoping somebody could help clarify. I submitted a skill for certification and I am failing because Alexa "the skill’s response is irrelevant to the request or contains an error." So the example that they give is
User: "Alexa, open mexico city guide"
Skill: "Mexico City Guide. You can ask me for an attraction, the local news, or say help. What will it be?"
User: "top five things to do"
Skill: "There was a problem with the requested skill's response"
But interestingly everything that they are saying when i test it on teh developer test area it functions properly. here is the sample lambda request and lambda response when i enter the utterance top five things to do
lambda request:

So it is responding properly so I am at a loss. I send them a note so hopefully they get back to me but i figured id try here too.
