Plivo publishes a skill for AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. Install it once, and your agent knows how to connect a WebSocket voice bot to phone calls with Audio Streaming: the `` XML, the checks to run before the first call, and how to debug a call that fails. A skill is a set of instructions your agent loads on its own when the task matches, so you keep working the way you already do. ## Install The skill drives Plivo through the [Plivo CLI](https://github.com/plivo/plivo-cli). Install the CLI and log in first, or your agent falls back to raw API calls and loses the checks. ```bash theme={null} npx skills add https://www.plivo.com/docs --skill plivo-audio-streaming ``` That installs into every coding agent it finds. To pick one: ```bash Claude Code theme={null} npx skills add https://www.plivo.com/docs --skill plivo-audio-streaming --agent claude-code ``` ```bash Cursor theme={null} npx skills add https://www.plivo.com/docs --skill plivo-audio-streaming --agent cursor ``` ```bash Codex theme={null} npx skills add https://www.plivo.com/docs --skill plivo-audio-streaming --agent codex ``` Skills install at project scope by default, which puts them in your repository so teammates and cloud agents get the same setup. Add `--global` to install once for every project. | Agent | Where the skill lands | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Claude Code | `.claude/skills/` in the project, `~/.claude/skills/` with `--global` | | Cursor | `.agents/skills/` in the project, `~/.cursor/skills/` with `--global` | | Codex | `.agents/skills/` in the project, `~/.codex/skills/` with `--global` | Any tool that follows the [Agent Skills](https://agentskills.io) standard reads the same file. ### Read it before you install The skill is a plain Markdown file. Open it yourself, or give the URL to your agent. The full skill file, published from this documentation site. Every Plivo skill is listed in the [skills index](https://www.plivo.com/docs/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json), with a SHA-256 digest so your agent can verify what it downloaded. ## What is in the skill | Section | What it holds | | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Readiness gates | The checks to run before your first call: number, application URLs, XML, WebSocket, and India compliance | | Go-live stages | Prove the bot, create the application, write the XML, first real call, production hosting, human handoff, launch | | The `` element | Every attribute, what the defaults really are, and which combinations do not work together | | WebSocket protocol | Each message Plivo sends and expects, in both directions, with the audio format rules | | Debugging | Hangup causes mapped to a cause, an owner and a fix, in the order to check them | | Human handoff | Transferring a live call to a person, and what the caller hears while it happens | | India | KYC, number series, media anchoring and consent, for a calling agent | | Templates | Known-good XML to copy: stream only, record and stream, greeting first, transfer, and more | ## What the agent does with it 1. **Checks readiness before writing code.** The number is rented and voice-enabled, India compliance is accepted, the application has answer, fallback and hangup URLs, the answer URL returns valid `` XML, and your WebSocket answers. Read-only: nothing on your account changes. 2. **Writes the XML for your case.** Inbound or outbound, recording, a greeting, human handoff, status callbacks, using shapes that are known to work. 3. **Takes you to the first call in order,** with a check at each step, so a failure is caught where it happens instead of on a live call. 4. **Debugs from evidence.** It runs `plivo voice calls diagnose`, reads the hangup cause, checks the XML, then tests the WebSocket, rather than guessing. ## What it will not do * It does not cover voice agents built on SIP platforms. Use [the SIP trunking skill](/docs/voice-agents/sip-trunking/integration-guides/ai-coding-agent) for LiveKit, ElevenLabs, Retell or Vapi. * It does not cover XML beyond a streaming call. For IVRs, call routing, input collection or conferences, use the [Voice XML skill](/docs/voice/xml/ai-coding-agent). * It does not cover SMS, WhatsApp or the browser SDK. * It changes nothing on your account while checking. Anything that spends money or changes routing is shown to you first. * It does not invent CLI flags or XML attributes. Where the documentation does not answer a question, it says so instead of guessing. * It cannot see what Plivo cannot see, such as whether your server is deployed. It asks you. ## Verify it is working In the project where you installed it, ask your agent: > My caller hears silence after the call connects. My answer URL returns a ``. What do I check? You should get an ordered loop that starts with `plivo voice calls diagnose ` and the hangup cause, then the XML, then a WebSocket test. If you get generic WebSocket advice with no Plivo commands, the skill did not load. ## Keeping it current The published skill tracks this documentation. Your local copy does not update itself: ```bash theme={null} npx skills update plivo-audio-streaming ``` An installed skill runs with your agent's permissions. Read the file before installing it, and treat a skill from a source you do not trust the way you would treat a shell script. ## Related For agents on LiveKit, ElevenLabs, Retell or Vapi For IVRs, call routing, recording and conferences How streaming works, without an agent The command-line tool the skill drives
