ai-voice-bots

ai-voice-bots is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 39 tokens per session (4,517 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building phone-based voice bots and interactive voice response (IVR) systems in Python. It covers turning speech into text, generating spoken replies, handling calls, and measuring voice quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design real-time speech agents, phone menus, streaming audio pipelines, and voice-quality monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps solve the timing, speech-quality, and telephony problems that make voice conversations difficult to build reliably.

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

ai-voice-bots 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/call_quality_scorer.py, scripts/voice_latency_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

AI Voice Bots

Use this skill to build, ship, and tune voice bots — phone IVR, real-time speech agents, and voice-first customer interactions — using pure Python frameworks.

This skill owns the voice-specific pipeline: STT, TTS, telephony platforms, latency engineering, and voice quality. For conversation design, persona, and escalation patterns, use ai-bot-builder.

Default posture for Jul 2026: Pipecat as default framework, sub-700ms total turn latency, streaming STT→LLM→TTS pipeline, deterministic VAD, and voice quality metrics from day one. S2S (speech-to-speech) via OpenAI Realtime API or Gemini Live is available as a latency-first alternative — see Framework Selection and references/s2s-and-native-voice-apis.md.

When to Use This Skill

  • Building a voice bot for phone, IVR, or real-time speech
  • Choosing a telephony platform (Twilio, Vapi, Bland.ai, Retell, Telnyx, Vonage)
  • Choosing a voice pipeline framework (Pipecat, LiveKit Agents, Vocode)
  • Engineering latency budgets for voice (TTFB, total turn latency)
  • Selecting and configuring STT/TTS providers (Deepgram, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Azure)
  • Monitoring voice quality (MOS, WER, call completion rate)
  • Designing IVR flows with DTMF and voice hybrid
  • Building outbound dialing campaigns

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.
