SKILL.md

The same SKILL.md was published earlier as majiayu000/claude-skill-registry-data/alexa-cli.

Alexa CLI

Use alexacli to control Amazon Echo devices and smart home via the unofficial Alexa API.

Devices

bash
alexacli devices
alexacli devices --json

Text-to-Speech

bash
# Speak on a specific device
alexacli speak "Hello world" -d "Kitchen Echo"
 
# Announce to ALL devices
alexacli speak "Dinner is ready!" --announce
 
# Device name matching is flexible
alexacli speak "Build complete" -d Kitchen

Voice Commands (Smart Home Control)

Send any command as if you spoke it to Alexa:

bash
# Lights
alexacli command "turn off the living room lights" -d Kitchen
alexacli command "dim the bedroom lights to 50 percent" -d Bedroom
 
# Thermostat
alexacli command "set thermostat to 72 degrees" -d Bedroom
 
# Locks
alexacli command "lock the front door" -d Kitchen
 
# Music
alexacli command "play jazz music" -d "Living Room"
 
# Timers
alexacli command "set a timer for 10 minutes" -d Kitchen

The -d flag specifies which Echo processes the command.

Ask (Get Response Back)

Send a command and capture Alexa's text response:

bash
alexacli ask "what's the thermostat set to" -d Kitchen
# Output: The thermostat is set to 68 degrees.
 
alexacli ask "what's on my calendar today" -d Kitchen --json

Useful for querying device state or getting Alexa-specific info.

History

bash
alexacli history
alexacli history --limit 5 --json
