AlexaSkillTemplates
Templates for the ASK CLI to quickly generate Alexa Skills. Create a quick-start skill from a template using the ASK CLI tool:
ask new --url http://AlexaSkillTemplates.com/index.json
Example
The example below shows the workflow of creating an Alexa Skill using the alexa-app-bootstrap module template. After using the ask new command, the skill is instantly deployable with no changes.
However, in a real situation, you would want to go into src/index.js to customize the skill name, invocation name, and behavior, then deploy.
