Thirteen provider-neutral skills for building, debugging and reviewing AI voice agents: stack selection, turn taking, conversation design, speech pipeline, audio frontends, latency, media debugging, call reliability, data capture, evaluation, cost, phone compliance and security.

Voice Agent Skills

Thirteen provider-neutral skills that help a coding agent build, debug and review AI voice agents people enjoy talking to. They cover the problems that decide whether a call feels natural: when the agent should speak, how fast it answers, what happens to the audio, and whether the call stays legal and secure. Each skill works with any stack, from managed platforms like Vapi or Retell to frameworks like LiveKit Agents or Pipecat.

SkillUse it when
voice-stack-selectionChoosing a platform, speech engines, transport and hosting
voice-turn-takingCallers get cut off, the agent talks over them, or replies come late
voice-conversation-designWriting prompts for spoken turns, clarification and handoffs
voice-speech-pipelinePicking and tuning speech-to-text and text-to-speech
voice-audio-frontendsEcho, noise, gain or competing speakers
voice-latency-auditThe agent feels slow and you need to find where the time goes
voice-media-debuggingSilent, one-way, distorted or delayed audio
voice-call-reliabilityDropped calls, failed transfers or duplicate actions
voice-data-captureGetting phone numbers, emails, dates and codes right
voice-agent-evaluationTesting a voice agent before and after launch
voice-cost-estimationWorking out cost per minute, per call and per month
voice-phone-complianceRecording consent, outbound calling rules and number reputation
voice-agent-securityCaller verification, prompt injection and sensitive data

Ask for what you need in plain words, such as "why does my agent keep interrupting people?", and the matching skill loads on its own.

The skills give engineering guidance, not legal advice. Check compliance questions with a qualified professional for your jurisdiction.
