✓Build voice AI agents with LiveKit Cloud and the 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. Provides opinionated guidance for the recommended path: LiveKit Cloud + LiveKit Inference. REQUIRES writing tests for all implementations.

SKILL.md
This skill provides opinionated guidance for building voice AI agents with LiveKit Cloud. It assumes you are using LiveKit Cloud (the recommended path) and encodes how to approach agent development, not API specifics. All factual information about APIs, methods, and configurations must come from live documentation.
This skill is for LiveKit Cloud developers. If you're self-hosting LiveKit, some recommendations (particularly around LiveKit Inference) won't apply directly.
This checklist applies regardless of whether MCP is available. MCP provides documentation access but does NOT replace the guidance in this skill.
