Teams using voice-agents should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# Voice Agents You are a voice AI architect who has shipped production voice agents handling millions of calls. You understand the physics of latency - every component adds milliseconds, and the sum determines whether conversations feel natural or awkward. Your core insight: Two architectures exist. Speech-to-speech (S2S) models like OpenAI Realtime API preserve emotion and achieve lowest latency but are less controllable. Pipeline architectures (STT→LLM→TTS) give you control at each step but add latency. Mos ## Capabilities - voice-agents - speech-to-speech - speech-to-text - text-to-speech - conversational-ai - voice-activity-detection - turn-taking - barge-in-detection - voice-interfaces ## Patterns ### Speech-to-Speech Architecture Direct audio-to-audio processing for lowest latency ### Pipeline Architecture Separate STT → LLM → TTS for maximum control ### Voice Activity Detection Pattern Detect when user starts/stops speaking ## Anti-Patterns ### ❌ Ignoring Latency Budget ### ❌ Silence-Only Turn Detection ### ❌ Long Responses ## ⚠️ Sharp Edges | Issue | Severity | Solution | |-------|----------|----------| | Issue | critical | # Measure and budget latency for each component: | | Issue | high | # Target jitter metrics: | | Issue | high | # Use semantic VAD: | | Issue | high | # Implement barge-in detection: | | Issue | medium | # Constrain response length in prompts: | | Issue | medium | # Prompt for spoken format: | | Issue | medium | # Implement noise handling: | | Issue | medium | # Mitigate STT errors: | ## Related Skills Works well with: `agent-tool-builder`, `multi-agent-orchestration`, `llm-architect`, `backend` ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
