The original Node.js SDK and example code for building voice-enabled Alexa skills for Amazon Echo devices. This repository is deprecated and has moved to the alexa organization.

Use cases

  • build an Alexa skill for Amazon Echo
  • create a voice-enabled fact or trivia skill
  • develop custom voice commands for Alexa
  • learn Alexa skill development with Node.js examples

When to choose

  • you need the legacy Alexa Skills Kit SDK for an older Node.js project
  • you are maintaining an existing skill built on this deprecated SDK

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new Alexa skill - use the alexa/alexa-skills-kit-sdk-for-nodejs repository instead
  • you need an actively maintained SDK with current Alexa features
