    I second this improvement. Here is an example: 

    If I want to send an email (with the Gmail Skill) based on an email template where I will fill in/substitute some variables :
    I can only inject in the email body input variables of the same type as the input field of the Email Skill (i.e. "String"). 
    All other variable types like "Numbers" aren't available to use...
