agent-skills

Build voice AI agents with LiveKit Cloud and the Agents SDK. Use when the user asks to "build a voice agent", "create a LiveKit agent", "add voice AI", "implement handoffs", "structure agent workflows", or is working with LiveKit Agents SDK. Provides opinionated guidance for the recommended path: LiveKit Cloud + LiveKit Inference. REQUIRES writing tests for all implementations.

Generate targeted test scenarios for a LiveKit voice or chat agent and run them as simulations — locally, from the agent's own code plus what the user wants stress-tested. Use whenever the user wants to "test my agent", "what should I test", "create/generate simulation scenarios", "make a sim test suite", "use lk agent simulate", "stress-test the X flow", "set up scenarios for my agent", or wants to probe edge cases / refusals / regressions before shipping. Generates scenarios on the user's machine (their code is never uploaded) and lets the user deeply steer what gets tested. Trigger even without the word "simulation" when the user clearly wants to decide what to test and verify how their agent behaves across realistic conversations. Not for building a new agent from scratch (use the livekit-agents skill), load-testing, or ordinary unit tests.

Looks up current LiveKit facts (API signatures, CLI flags, config options, model and provider support, SDK changelogs, pricing) from the docs instead of answering from memory. Use whenever a question touches LiveKit specifics: "does LiveKit support X", "what changed in agents 1.8", "what are the arguments to Y", "how much does LiveKit cost", "find an example of Z in the LiveKit repos", or before writing any LiveKit code. Other LiveKit skills load this one first. Covers the LiveKit Docs MCP server and the lk docs CLI.

Drives a live multi-turn conversation with a LiveKit agent running locally, using lk agent debugger. Use when the user says "test my agent", "try my agent", "does this work", or "why did it call that tool", after editing an agent to check how it behaves, or when an agent on a speech-to-speech model or one that mishears users needs checking. The default for a bare "test"; for regression tests use testing-livekit-agents, for graded runs running-livekit-simulations.

Deploys and operates a LiveKit agent in production: shipping a version to LiveKit Cloud and rolling it back, secrets and configuration, the worker process model and prewarming, safe async inside worker processes, provider timeouts and degradation, graceful shutdown, SDK upgrades, and observability. Use when the user says "deploy my agent", "roll back the deployment", "tail the agent logs", "the first call after a restart is slow", "attached to a different loop / event loop is closed", "prewarm the VAD", "shut down without dropping calls", "upgrade livekit-agents safely", "correlate logs by session", or is changing an agent codebase that is already live. Not for designing the agent (building-livekit-agents) or reproducing one bad conversation locally (debugging-livekit-agents).
