The documentation for the Alexa Skills Kit is available on the Amazon Apps and Services Developer Portal.

Here are a few direct links to our documentation:

• Alexa Java SDK Wiki Page
• Using the Alexa Skills Kit Samples
• Getting Started
• Invocation Name Guidelines
• Developing an Alexa Skill as an AWS Lambda Function

We have developed a set of sample skills which illustrate how to use Java Alexa Skills Kit SDK and AWS Lambda to host an Alexa Skill. They can be found here: https://github.com/alexa/skill-samples-java

The sample skills demonstrate how to use many Alexa features:

• Handling Intents: Hello World, Minecraft Helper
• Connecting to Alexa APIs : Device Address Skill
• Connecting to Third Party APIs : TidePooler
• Session Management : WiseGuy
• Building a skill for Echo Show: Display Interface Guide
