This SDK is an extension to the Alexa Skills SDK for Java. It provides a framework for handling speechlet requests with multi-variant utterances organized in YAML files that make it easy to create localized skills. This SDK also lets you build your skill in declarative style and avoids a lot of boilerplate code.

There is a newer version: 0.2.3
