The Alexa Skills Kit (ASK) SDKs are software development tools and libraries that give you programmatic access to Alexa features. ASK SDKs are available for Node.js, Java, and Python. The ASK SDKs can help make it easier to build Alexa skills by enabling you to spend more time on implementing features and less time writing boilerplate code.
