Why does Amazon reject a skill based on the reindeer trivia code example?

See here:

Skill has been rejected several times. The only content modified are the questions and parts of the text.

Uwe, what was your skill rejected for? I'm using the same template and have received one rejection so far but that's because I tried to add another Intent. I've now removed that intent and re-submitted. I hope that will do the trick.

It would still be nice to hear what the cause of this issue is. It seems to come up often lately. Is there something we need to watch out for?

Hi Dave. Generally speaking, modifications to a template skill that cause it to fail certification often results from JSON that doesn't comply with our JSON guide. Additionally, including SSML tags can also result in errors or typos. That said, we are always happy to help with questions while you're developing your skill through the Contact Us support channel!
