I came up with a hack to get an Alexa Routine to perform any Alexa skill by positioning a 2nd Eco in the same room and using the Echo Say action to send any skill request to the 2nd Echo. As an example, I created a routine that uses Alexa Say to say "Alex, play pandora station graceland radio in the porch" for my Sonos, followed by actions to turn on a table light, porch fan, etc..
Works great, but a bit of a kludge. It would be great to have an "Echo Do" Action that allows you to key in text for what you want to do in a similar way (No need to include "Alexa,"), but just sends the text to the Alexa service without saying it. This would be a very open ended way to support any current and future skills. It would also remove the need for a 2nd Echo device in the same room ;)
