Abstract
Techniques for resuming a skill session are described. A system receives a user input, determines a skill to execute with respect to the user input, opens a skill session, and causes the skill to execute. After the skill executes, the skill indicates the skill session is to be placed in a background state, resulting in the user being able to conduct one or more skill sessions while the skill processes in the background state. Sometime after placing the skill session in the background state, the skill requests the system to resume the skill session. If the system determines the skill session is to be resumed, the system sends data to the skill indicating that the skill session will be resumed. Once the skill session is to be resumed, the system places the skill session in an active state, and calls the skill to resume processing of the skill session.
