- Clone the repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/acucciniello/alexa-skill-boilerplate.git

This command will deploy it to lambda given you have sent up your environment for Claudia usage.
In order to have this properly set up:

$ mkdir ~/.aws && cd ~/.aws
- Create a file called credentials
$ touch credentials
- Edit that file to have your AWS Credentials
