Described herein is a system for enabling a user to perform complex goals using multiple skills/applications of an intelligent assistant device. Skills may register as consumers of an action or providers of an action, and the consumer skills may be configured to invoke provider skills to perform actions. The system receives a request to perform an action from a skill along with some action data. The system validates the action data, selects another skill to perform the action, and forwards the request to the selected skill to perform the action.

Multiple skills processing

Techniques for transferring control of a system-user dialog session are described. A first speechlet component may interact with a user until the first speechlet component receives user input that the first speechlet component cannot handle. The first speechlet component may output an action representing the user input. A system may determine a second speechlet component configured to execute the action. The system may send the second speechlet component a navigator object that results in the second speechlet component handling the user interaction that the first speechlet component could not handle. Once the second speechlet component is finished processing, the second speechlet component may output an updated navigator object, which causes the first speechlet component to either further interact with a user or cause a current dialog session to be closed. The system may additionally maintain a data structure representing calling speechlet components and called speechlet components associated with the session.
