flask-ask

Why we included this project

For Python developers who want to build Alexa skills without leaving their usual web stack, flask-ask is a Flask extension that handles the Alexa Skills Kit plumbing. You write intent handlers as plain view functions, with decorators mapping intents and slots to them, and the library takes care of session state, reprompts, cards, and request signature verification. Speech text can live in Jinja templates loaded from YAML, so you are not hardcoding phrases in code. It will feel familiar to anyone who knows Flask, and the included samples and cookiecutter template make prototyping quick. The project has been in maintenance mode for a while, so treat it as a good fit for learning or legacy work rather than new production skills.
