It has probably been asked already, but I couldn't find it and I won't read 168 pages of technical issues.
When deploying the skill to Amazon using ask-cli it also pre-generates values for slots like "SHOW" or "MOVIES", etc. These slots contain content from my *current* kodi library. Are those values being refreshed periodically or only generated upon deployment? How do you deal with, say, adding a new TV show or another movie?
And to not only ask but also give back:
During installation I had two problems:
1. Do not block calls to "api.amazonalexa.com". I acidentally Pi-Holed this domain and I went through hell to find out, that I myself was to blame...
2. If you have your Kodi installation behind a reverse proxy using Nginx AND use AWS Lambda, like I do, add the configuration "proxy_ignore_client_abort on;" in your Nginx configuration (http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_p...ient_abort). AWS Lambda only fires requests and then doesn't give a damn anymore. Nginx doesn't like this and sends a "499" response back instead of "200" and doesn't forward anything to Kodi.

There is no need to add more or regenerate after adding new items unless you're having specific trouble with a new title being recognized.
