jump forward 5 min #150

Can you add an example of how to use the skip forward feature? Pretty please. The official documentation is confusing as can be.

I'm afraid there's no such feature available for custom skills. Despite years of requests, only Amazon's own Audible skill has this feature. To implement it, you have to write your own time-skipping handler, and the user has to perform a full invocation. In other words, the user cannot say "alexa, jump forward 5 minutes", they always have to say "alexa, ask podcastsplayer (or whatever) to jump forward 5 minutes".

If you think it would be better to remove that extra step, please vote here! https://alexa.uservoice.com/forums/906892-alexa-skills-developer-voice-and-vote/suggestions/33406042-remove-requirement-for-invocation-name-when-an-aud
