Alexa Skill Lambda PDM

This folder contains the source for the Alexa-Hosted Skill which forms the heart of this project. The skill is written in Python and uses the ask-sdk library to interact with the Alexa Skills Kit.

I chose to develop this skill using the excellent PDM package manager, which significantly simplifies managing dependencies and virtual environments.

To set up a local Python interpreter with the required versions, simply run pdm install.

Development & Local Testing

There is currently no way to perform integration or e2e-tests of this project without setting up an AWS-hosted Alexa Skill and all the supporting infrastructure. This requires some setup. Please open an issue if you are interested in getting this setup.

Code Quality & Testing

This project uses standard tooling to ensure consistency and promote high-quality code:

• We use ruff for formatting (pdm run format) and linting (pdm run lint).
• We use mypy for static type checking (pdm run typecheck).
• We use pytest for unit testing (pdm run test).
