What is liveapi-service?

A code generator for client services that connect to Gemini Enterprise Live API, a Google service for real-time voice, video, and text communication over WebSockets.

It is for creating a client in a chosen programming language, plus a demo application that tests text, audio, video, transcription, and interruption handling.

It removes much of the setup needed for authentication, continuous data streaming, and reconnecting sessions when a connection is interrupted.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00117	$0.02181
Opus 5	$0.00059	$0.01091

Security

Grade B, and why

liveapi-service scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

LiveAPI Service Skill

This skill provides instructions for generating a LiveAPI client service class that connects to the Gemini Enterprise Live API over WebSockets. The generated client handles bidirectional streaming, bearer-token authentication via Application Default Credentials (ADC), transparent session resumption, and ClientMessage / ServerMessage proto exchange.

The skill also produces a demo frontend + backend service so the user can interactively validate the generated client (text, audio, video, transcription, and interrupt handling).

Prerequisites

Before running the generation flow, ensure the following are available on the host:

A Google Cloud project with the Vertex AI / Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform APIs enabled.
Application Default Credentials configured on the host running the generated client:
```
gcloud auth application-default login
```
A destination output folder supplied by the user (e.g. /tmp/liveapi_out) where the generated code, environment, and demo will be written. Never mutate the host's system Python environment.
The user's chosen implementation language (Python is the default and reference language for this skill).

Reference Files

Provided files in references/ (do not treat these as standalone skills — they are loaded on demand):

client_server_messages.md: Public reference for the ClientMessage / ServerMessage schemas used by the Live API.
client_server_messages.proto: The proto definition generated from client_server_messages.md.
session_manager.md: Describes how to correctly handle sessions, buffering, and resumption on disconnection.

Steps

Step 1: Copy the reference files

Copy client_server_messages.md, client_server_messages.proto, and session_manager.md from this skill's references/ folder into the user's destination output folder. These files become the source of truth for the generated client.

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
