Techniques for providing device functionalities using device components are described. A system receives a system-generated directive from a skill system and determines a workflow to execute. The system implements a response orchestrator that operates based on the workflow that includes interception points where cross-cutting functionalities can be invoked as pluggable components. The interception points occur pre-system-generated directive, pre-device-facing directive, post-device-facing directive generation, post-device-facing directive dispatch, and the like. The system supports asynchronous execution, conditional execution, and sequential execution of components. Data determined by the cross functionality components can be used by other components for processing.
