Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00088 | $0.03417 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00044 | $0.01708 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00683 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00342 |
Grade A, and why
gemini-live-api-dev scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 7d 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.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
95% identical to gemini-live-api-dev — 71 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Gemini Live API Development Skill
Overview
The Live API enables low-latency, real-time voice and video interactions with Gemini over WebSockets. It processes continuous streams of audio, video, or text to deliver immediate, human-like spoken responses.
Key capabilities:
- Bidirectional audio streaming — real-time mic-to-speaker conversations
- Video streaming — send camera/screen frames alongside audio
- Text input/output — send and receive text within a live session
- Audio transcriptions — get text transcripts of both input and output audio
- Voice Activity Detection (VAD) — automatic interruption handling
- Native audio — thinking (with configurable
thinkingLevel) - Function calling — synchronous tool use
- Google Search grounding — ground responses in real-time search results
- Session management — context compression, session resumption, GoAway signals
- Ephemeral tokens — secure client-side authentication
[!NOTE] The Live API currently only supports WebSockets. For WebRTC support or simplified integration, use a partner integration.
Models
gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview— Optimized for low-latency, real-time dialogue. Native audio output, thinking (viathinkingLevel). 128k context window. This is the recommended model for all Live API use cases.gemini-3.5-live-translate-preview— Real-time streaming translation model.
[!WARNING] The following Live API models are deprecated and will be shut down. Migrate to
gemini-3.1-flash-live-preview.
gemini-2.5-flash-native-audio-preview-12-2025— Migrate togemini-3.1-flash-live-preview.gemini-live-2.5-flash-preview— Released June 17, 2025. Shutdown: December 9, 2025.gemini-2.0-flash-live-001— Released April 9, 2025. Shutdown: December 9, 2025.

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.

gemini-live-api-dev is a skill published in the GitHub repository hamzabellouch/agent-skills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 88 tokens to every session and 3,417 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to gemini-live-api-dev, differing in 71 lines, and is treated as a copy.
