>From a membership renewal letter from the Philadelphia Museum of Art:

>>>>>
P.S. Ask Alexa to "Open Philadelphia Museum of Art" to plan your next visit
and renew your membership (Member through Keystone levels only). Our new
skill is available on Amazon Echo and via the free Alexa mobile app.
<<<<<

"Member through..." means the offer applies to only the three lowest
levels: Member @$75/year, Member Plus @$125/yr, and Keystone @$250/yr.

Does anyone see this as falling within the customary semantic range of
"skill"?
