I write an action.py to fill in some of the slots, do I need to claim it in the stories or domain file?

@AlenChuan Yes, If you have written the custom action in action.py file for example :

class CustomAction(Action):

    def name(self) -> Text:
        return "action_custom_action"

You need to mention that in domain.yml under action:

actions:
  - action_custom_action

For conversation or dialogue management purpose i.e stories.yml you need to mention as:

version: ‘2.0’

stories:
   - story: welcome menu
     steps:
      - intent: get_started
      - action: utter_welcome_message
      - action: action_custom_action

Please even ref: Domain | Training Data Format

Is there any problem in the following “stories” file if “action_ocr” is used to fill in some of the required slots in “fee-incitytrip form”?

version: "2.0"
stories:
 - story: greet and subscribe
   steps:
   - intent: greet
   - action: utter_request_image
   - intent: image
   - action: action_ocr
   - action: fee-incitytrip_form
   - active_loop: fee-incitytrip_form
