Build voice AI agents on LiveKit Cloud with structured workflows, minimal latency, and mandatory test coverage. Use LiveKit Cloud and LiveKit Inference for managed infrastructure and AI models without separate API keys Design agents around handoffs (agent-to-agent transitions) and tasks (scoped operations) to isolate context and reduce latency Every agent implementation requires tests covering basic conversation flow, tool invocation, error handling, and edge cases before deployment Always...

LiveKit Agent Skills

Reusable skills for AI coding agents building with LiveKit. These skills provide procedural knowledge that helps agents build voice AI applications more effectively.

Available Skills

Skill	Description
livekit-agents	Architectural guidance for building low-latency voice AI agents with LiveKit Agents SDK. Covers workflow design, handoffs, tasks, and mandatory testing practices.
livekit-simulations	Generate targeted test scenarios for a LiveKit agent — locally, from the agent's own code plus what the user wants stress-tested — and run them as simulations. Bundles persona/goal/challenge libraries and a stdlib scenario builder.

Installation

Copy & paste — that's it

npx skills add livekit/agent-skills

Skills activate automatically when agents detect relevant tasks (e.g., "build a voice agent", "create a LiveKit agent").

Skill Structure

Each skill contains:

SKILL.md — Agent instructions with behavioral guidance
references/ — Supporting documentation

Using with MCP

These skills are designed to work alongside the LiveKit Docs MCP server. The skills provide behavioral guidance (how to think about building voice agents) while MCP provides factual information (current API signatures, configuration options).

Install the MCP server for best results. Installation instructions for all supported coding agents are available at:

https://docs.livekit.io/intro/mcp-server/

Design Philosophy

These skills follow the "freeze forever" principle—they encode behavioral guidance that remains valid regardless of API changes:

Behavior over knowledge: Skills teach how to approach problems, not API specifics
MCP for facts: All factual information (API signatures, config options) comes from live documentation
Testing required: Every agent implementation must include tests
Latency-first: Voice AI requires different architectural thinking than text-based agents

Contributing

Contributions welcome! When adding or modifying skills:

Ensure content passes the "freeze forever" test—would it still be correct if never updated?
Direct agents to MCP/docs for all API specifics
Include trigger phrases in the skill description
Keep skills under 500 lines for context efficiency
