Individual skill
openai-realtime-voice
Build production OpenAI Realtime voice agents and low-latency spoken interactions with live audio sessions, WebRTC or WebSocket transport, voice activity detection, tool/function calling, prompt design, logging, consent, privacy, safety, latency, and cost controls. Use for speech-to-speech agents and live voice UX; do not use for separate request-based transcription, text-to-speech, or offline audio generation work.

# OpenAI Realtime voice
Use this skill when the deliverable is a live spoken interaction: a browser voice assistant, phone-like agent, low-latency speech-to-speech support flow, guided interview, tutoring conversation, live kiosk, or realtime voice UI that listens, reasons, speaks, interrupts, and may call tools.
Do not use this skill for batch speech-to-text, offline TTS, voiceover generation, audio editing, dubbing, music, or file-based audio tasks. Those belong to the separate OpenAI audio/request APIs or other speech/audio skills. The boundary is simple: if a persistent realtime session and turn-taking behavior are part of the product, use this skill; if the job is "turn this file/text into text/audio," do not.
All OpenAI API facts below were verified against first-party OpenAI documentation on 2026-07-10. Re-check model identifiers, prices, session limits, voices, API object fields, data retention, and policy requirements before production release because Realtime surfaces change quickly.
## Source-grounded facts to carry into every design
Documented facts:
- OpenAI positions Realtime sessions as best for live audio that needs low latency; request-based audio APIs are best for files, bounded requests, or generated speech that does not need a live session. Source: [Realtime and audio overview](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/realtime).
- A voice-agent session is for applications where the model should respond to the user, call tools, and manage conversation state on `/v1/realtime`. Translation and transcription sessions are separate Realtime session types. Source: [Realtime and audio overview](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/realtime).
