Yes. Any skill that you create in the developer's portal will be available to you, and only you, until it's published. So, just create a skill and don't publish it! It will show up in your Alexa app to be enabled just like any other skill, but won't be available to others.

Thanks Steve: I guess I missed the obvious 'test it now on your Echo' at the top of the page!

I have the skill under test as you say and it's enabled. When I ask Alexa to launch it Alexa says it can't find it. The skill icon has a devUS in green written on it. The only thing I can think of is that I am using Location for Lambada as Ireland .. would that cause an issue.
