Invoke skill from routine

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to develop a skill for our customer, and we would like to let customer to invoke our skill from routine.
I created a new skill, used ASK CLI to download, added "tasks" inside skill.json, added tasks/TestTask.1.json, and deployed it.

But when I try to create a new routine, selecting Skill doesnt show my development skill (I've activated this skill on my account, under the Dev vard).


Could anyone please help me?

Thanks

Hi, only skills which have an already live version will appear in the skills list within the Alexa app routines skill list. So a version of a skill which only has a dev version and hasn't been published yet won't appear in the routine skill list.

So you need to publish an initial version first and get that certified, once you've done that then the dev version of that skill will appear in the routine skill list.

Co-incidentally, I added a custom task to one of my skills yesterday and that all worked fine (the skil has a live version!).
