What This Skill Covers
- Voice agents turn the same agent concepts into spoken, low-latency interactions. The key design choice is deciding whether the model should work directly wit...
- Main sections:
Choose the right architecture,Recommended starting points,Build a speech-to-speech voice agent,Build a chained voice workflow,Voice agents still use the same core agent building blocks.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
