Hi Mike, I am not sure if You need to use IntentBuilder, with Padatious intent I think it is not necessary.

This is how we do it in HomeAssistant skill:

Intent set.climate.intent:

 set (the|) {entity} temperature to {temp} degrees

Handler:

 @intent_handler('set.climate.intent')
    def handle_set_thermostat_intent(self, message: Message) -> None:
        """Handle set climate intent."""
        self.log.debug("Set thermostat intent on entity: %s", message.data.get("entity"))
        message.data["Entity"] = message.data.get("entity")
        message.data["Temp"] = message.data.get("temp")
        self._handle_set_thermostat(message)     
      
     def _handle_set_thermostat(self, message: Message) -> None:
        """Handler for setting thermostats."""
        entity = message.data["entity"]
        self.log.debug("Entity: %s", entity)
        self.log.debug("This is the message data: %s", message.data)
        temperature = message.data["temp"]
        self.log.debug("Temperature: %s", temperature)

Also check Remote debug skill, if you use VS Code, this can help you understood, whats going on in Your and Mycroft code.
