# Vapi Assistant Creation Create fully configured voice AI assistants using the Vapi API. Assistants combine a language model, voice, and transcriber to handle real-time phone and web conversations. > **Setup:** Ensure `VAPI_API_KEY` is set. See the `setup-api-key` skill if needed. ## Quick Start ### cURL ```bash curl -X POST https://api.vapi.ai/assistant \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $VAPI_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "name": "Support Assistant", "firstMessage": "Hello!

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill create-assistant-vapiai-skills --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
