voice-agents
Build conversational voice agents using Sarvam AI with LiveKit or Pipecat. Handles voice assistants, phone bots, IVR, and real-time conversational AI for Indian languages. Integrates Sarvam STT (Saaras v3), TTS (Bulbul v3), and LLM (Sarvam-30B) with low-latency streaming. Use when creating voice-enabled applications or real-time speech pipelines.

## LiveKit Quick Start
```bash
pip install livekit-agents livekit-plugins-sarvam livekit-plugins-silero
```
```python
from livekit.agents import Agent, AgentSession, JobContext, WorkerOptions, cli
from livekit.plugins import sarvam, silero
class VoiceAssistant(Agent):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__(
vad=silero.VAD.load(),
stt=sarvam.STT(model="saaras:v3"),
llm=sarvam.LLM(model="sarvam-30b"),
tts=sarvam.TTS(model="bulbul:v3", voice="shubh")
)
async def on_enter(self, session: AgentSession):
await session.say("नमस्ते! मैं आपकी कैसे मदद कर सकती हूं?")
async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
agent = VoiceAssistant()
await agent.start(ctx)
if __name__ == "__main__":
cli.run_app(WorkerOptions(entrypoint_fnc=entrypoint))
```
## Pipecat Quick Start
```bash
pip install pipecat-ai "pipecat-ai[sarvam,silero,daily]"
```
```python
from pipecat.pipeline import Pipeline
from pipecat.services.sarvam import SarvamSTT, SarvamTTS, SarvamLLM
from pipecat.vad.silero import SileroVAD
from pipecat.transports.local import LocalAudioTransport
transport = LocalAudioTransport()
pipeline = Pipeline([
transport.input(), SileroVAD(),
SarvamSTT(model="saaras:v3"),
SarvamLLM(model="sarvam-30b", system_prompt="You are a helpful voice assistant."),
SarvamTTS(model="bulbul:v3", voice="shubh"),
transport.output()
])
```
## JavaScript/TypeScript Note
LiveKit and Pipecat agents are Python-only. For JS/TS voice pipelines, use the individual SDK methods directly:
```typescript
import { SarvamAIClient } from "sarvamai";
const client = new SarvamAIClient({ apiSubscriptionKey: "YOUR_SARVAM_API_KEY" });
// STT: client.speechToText.transcribe({...})
// TTS: client.textToSpeech.convertStream({...}) // returns BinaryResponse
// LLM: client.chat.completions({...})
```
## Gotchas
| Gotcha | Detail |
|--------|--------|
| **Use `sarvam-30b`** | Best latency for voice. Only use `sarvam-105b` when reasoning quality matters more than speed. |
| **`max_tokens` budget** | Sarvam models reason internally. Don't set low `max_tokens` or `content` will be `None`. Omit or set 500+. |
| **TTS pitch/loudness** | NOT supported on Bulbul v3 — API returns 400. Only `pace` works. |
| **STT WebSocket codecs** | Only `wav`/`pcm` — no MP3/AAC/OGG for streaming. |
| **HTTP Stream for TTS** | `convert_stream` returns binary audio directly (no base64), better for pipelines. |

Related in Image & Video
watch
IncludedWatch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.
physical-ai-defect-image-generation
IncludedUse when the user wants to orchestrate defect image generation, run associated setup, or handle outputs on OSMO. The Day 0 path handles cold-start with USD-to-ROI, image-edit augmentation, and AnomalyGen to create initial PCBA datasets. The Day 1 path performs inference and labeling on real images. This skill helps with first-time asset setup, creation of finetuning checkpoints, and configuring deployment. Trigger keywords: defect image generation, dig workflow, dig pipeline, defect image detection workflow, aoi pipeline, aoi anomalygen, usd2roi anomalygen, day 0 pcba, day 1 pcba, day 1 real-photo alignment, day 1 manual roi, metal surface anomaly, glass defect, anomalygen finetune, setup_pcb, setup_metal, setup_glass, setup_pretrained, dig setup, dig datasets, dig pretrained checkpoint, dig image-edit endpoint.
accelint-react-best-practices
IncludedReact performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.
elevenlabs-agents
IncludedBuild conversational AI voice agents with ElevenLabs Platform using React, JavaScript, React Native, or Swift SDKs. Configure agents, tools (client/server/MCP), RAG knowledge bases, multi-voice, and Scribe real-time STT. Use when: building voice chat interfaces, implementing AI phone agents with Twilio, configuring agent workflows or tools, adding RAG knowledge bases, testing with CLI "agents as code", or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, Android audio cutoff, CSP violations, dynamic variables, or WebRTC config.

humanizer
IncludedHumanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.
generating-mermaid-diagrams
IncludedSalesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
