Webex Assistant Skills SDK

The Webex Skills SDK is designed to simplify the process of creating a Webex Assistant Skill. It provides some tools that help to easily set up a template skill, deal with encryption and test the skill locally, among other things.

This is a simplified version of the documentation, for more information visit the official
Webex Assistant Skills SDK website.

Installing the SDK

This SDK supports Python 3.7 and above. If you want to be able to build MindMeld Skills, you will need to use Python 3.7 for compatibility with the MindMeld library.

Using pip

Create a virtual environment with Python 3.7:

pyenv install 3.7.5
pyenv virtualenv 3.7.5 webex-skills
pyenv local webex-skills

Install using pip:

pip install webex-skills

In order to build MindMeld Skills you need the mindmeld extra:

pip install 'webex-skills[mindmeld]'

Install from Source

You can install from source using Poetry. Set up python 3.7.5 locally:

pyenv install 3.7.5
pyenv local 3.7.5

Now you can run Poetry's install command:

poetry install

In order to build MindMeld Skills you need the mindmeld extra:

poetry install --extras "mindmeld"
