I've found instructions on how to create custom commands for Cortana using C# and Visual Studio 2017. Unfortunately, none explains what happens when the commands you want to use overlap with the built-in commands.
I want to control some of my audio/video equipment with Cortana, but I'm surely going to overlap with the built-in commands without a little preparation work. I'd prefer not to use long or hard to remember command names if I can avoid it. I'd like to use something like "Play music" or "Adjust volume" without it getting confused.
Any idea how to achieve this?
are you looking to use simple invocation names that you worry might map to Cortana native skills and abilities e.g. "set a reminder" is an example where I can see it isn't something a 3rd party skill could use. If so, for now we don't have a solution beyond making sure your invocation names are unique.
If you are referring to something other than invocation names when you say 'commands' do clarify.
