Build voice AI agents with LiveKit Agents SDK. Use when the user asks to "build a voice agent", "create a LiveKit agent", "add voice AI", "implement handoffs", "structure agent workflows", or is working with LiveKit Agents SDK. Covers both LiveKit Cloud and self-hosted deployments using lk CLI.
npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill livekit-skills --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# LiveKit Voice Agent Development This skill provides guidance for building voice AI agents with the LiveKit Agents SDK. It covers both LiveKit Cloud and self-hosted deployments, using the `lk` CLI for documentation access and project management. All factual information about APIs, methods, and configurations must come from live documentation. ## MANDATORY: Read This Checklist Before Starting Before writing ANY code, complete this checklist: 1. **Read this entire skill document** - Do not skip sections 2. **Set up LiveKit credentials** (Cloud project or self-hosted server) - You need `LIVEKIT_URL`, `LIVEKIT_API_KEY`, and `LIVEKIT_API_SECRET` 3. **Set up documentation access** - Install `lk` CLI for `lk docs` commands 4. **Plan to write tests** - Every agent implementation MUST include tests (see testing section below) 5. **Verify all APIs against live docs** - Never rely on model memory for LiveKit APIs ## Setup ### LiveKit Cloud LiveKit Cloud is the fastest way to get a voice agent running. It provides: - Managed infrastructure (no servers to deploy) - **LiveKit Inference** for AI models (no separate API keys needed) - Built-in noise cancellation, turn detection, and other voice f

What does the livekit-skills skill do?
Build voice AI agents with LiveKit Agents SDK. Use when the user asks to "build a voice agent", "create a LiveKit agent", "add voice AI", "implement handoffs", "structure agent workflows", or is working with LiveKit Agents SDK. Covers both LiveKit Cloud and self-hosted deployments using lk CLI.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add fcakyon/claude-codex-settings --skill livekit-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 fcakyon/claude-codex-settings, a repository with 967 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.
