Scripting¶

When a command needs more than a single action, you attach a Lua script. Lua is the small scripting language Amri profiles use for logic: conditions, loops, return values, and the full amri.* function library. Simple commands need no Lua, but it is there when a command grows.

Page	What it does
Functions	Call an `amri.*` function as a command response.
Variables and scopes	Store and read values, and the scope chain they follow.
The command context	Read what was said, and details of the current command, through `ctx`.
Speech and prompts	Speak to the user and ask for a spoken answer.
Tasks	Background loops, and how to stop them.
API reference	Every `amri.*` function, grouped by namespace.
