setup-patter

setup-patter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PatterAI/skills. It costs 125 tokens per session (2,956 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for Patter, an open-source phone-call SDK available for Python and TypeScript. It connects speech, language-model, and voice services from providers such as OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Deepgram with phone carriers such as Twilio or Telnyx.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Patter project, choosing between the Python and TypeScript SDKs, configuring a speech engine, or setting up Twilio or Telnyx.
Why use it?
It explains which SDK, engine, provider keys, and carrier credentials are needed to place or receive real phone calls, including how to handle missing-key errors.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-patter scanned grade A 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 241 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Set up Patter

Install the Patter SDK and provision the credentials required to place or receive real phone calls. Patter is open-source — there is no Patter API key. You bring your own provider (OpenAI / ElevenLabs / Deepgram / …) and your own carrier (Twilio or Telnyx) keys, and Patter wires them together.

Workflow

Step 1 — Pick a runtime

Ask the user which SDK they want. Both have full feature parity.

  • Python (3.11+): pip install "getpatter>=0.7.0"
  • TypeScript (Node 20+): npm install "getpatter@>=0.7.0"

If they're unsure, default to whichever language the rest of their project is in. Do not install both.

Step 2 — Pick an engine (decides which provider keys are needed)

Engine What it does Required keys
OpenAIRealtime2 (recommended, GA since 0.6.3) Speech-to-speech via OpenAI Realtime API — lowest latency OPENAI_API_KEY
OpenAIRealtime (legacy) Older gpt-realtime-mini model. Same key. OPENAI_API_KEY
ElevenLabsConvAI ElevenLabs ConversationAI — turn-taking model ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
Pipeline (no engine arg) STT → LLM → TTS — mix providers freely At least one each of STT/LLM/TTS key

If the user wants the simplest setup, default to OpenAIRealtime2 — single key, lowest latency, GA quality. Mention Pipeline only if they ask for custom STT/LLM/TTS or for cost tuning.

Step 3 — Pick a carrier

Carrier Audio format Required env
Twilio mulaw 8 kHz TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID, TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
Telnyx PCM 16 kHz TELNYX_API_KEY

Twilio is the default suggestion — broader US/EU coverage, mature TwiML ecosystem. Telnyx is preferable in regions where Twilio coverage is weak and for users who want lower carrier cost.

Buying a phone number is the user's job, not the AI agent's — link the console:

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.
