Launch the Alexa Skill template (AWS CloudFormation & TypeScript)

In ASK CLI(v2), we can use specific template(Git repository) to setup your Alexa skill project.

$ ask new --template-url https://github.com/XXXX/xxx.git

Today, I’ve created a new Skill template to the skill developer using TypeScript and AWS CloudFormation.

Usage

Use my template repository like the example.

% ask new  --template-url https://github.com/hideokamoto/alexa-skill-sample-helloworld-typescript.git

And please say “Yes” in this question.

> ? Would you like to continue download the skill template? Yes

Finally, we get the skill project.
