Why we included this project

For anyone building Alexa skills in Node.js, this SDK is as close to an official starting point as the ecosystem offers. It handles request dispatch, intent routing, and response building, so you are not hand-managing the raw Alexa JSON flow, and its DynamoDB and S3 persistence adapters give multi-turn conversations state to keep across sessions. The repo also bundles the SMAPI client, which lets you update interaction models, fetch intent history, or drive in-skill purchasing from code instead of clicking through the developer console. For a skill with any real conversational depth, that saves you from rebuilding the plumbing every Alexa skill needs.
