Mismatching Intent

My skill was responding as per interaction schema. But sometime's a wrong intent get's invoked.

For eg:

intent schema:

{
"intents":[
	{
	"intent":"HelloWorldIntent"
	},
	{	
	"intent":"AMAZON.HelpIntent"
	}
	]
}

Sample Utterance

HelloWorldIntent say hello
HelloWorldIntent say hello world
HelloWorldIntent hello
HelloWorldIntent say hi
HelloWorldIntent say hi world
HelloWorldIntent hi
HelloWorldIntent how are you

AMAZON.HelpIntent help
AMAZON.HelpIntent help me
AMAZON.HelpIntent help please

On same case's when the user say:

Alexa,ask greater to say hello

Alexa replies back with the help message (i.e call goes to the help intent instead of hellowordintent) .....Any idea about this type of issue!

Facing with the same issue.. Lambda request seems to be stuck with a particular intent only.

I've tried a bunch of different permutations of the phrase "ask greeter to say hello" with the interaction model you specified, and I always got a HelloWorldIntent returned. I wonder if this still happens if you create a new skill for testing purposes?

As an aside, you probably don't need the utterances for the AMAZON.HelpIntent, since those are likely included in the built in intent already.
