Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: api.vapi.ai.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to create fully configured voice AI assistants using the Vapi API. These assistants combine a language model, voice, and transcriber to handle real-time conversations via phone or web interfaces. You can customize aspects like the assistant's name, initial message, underlying language model, voice characteristics, and transcription services.

When to use it

  • Automating customer support interactions through a virtual agent.
  • Creating interactive voice response (IVR) systems for businesses.
  • Building personalized AI companions for specific tasks or domains.
  • Developing prototypes of conversational AI applications quickly.
  • Generating assistants that can handle phone and web conversations.

Key capabilities

  • Creates fully configured Vapi AI assistants.
  • Supports various language model providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and Deepinfra.
  • Allows customization of the assistant's name and initial message.
  • Provides options for voice selection via the Vapi provider.
  • Integrates with transcription services like Deepgram.

Example prompts

  • "Create an AI assistant named 'Order Taker' that greets users with 'Welcome to our restaurant!'"
  • "Generate a support assistant using GPT-4o and Elliot as the voice."
  • "Build an assistant for answering FAQs, using Claude 3 Haiku and Deepgram transcription."

Tips & gotchas

  • You must have a Vapi API key (VAPI_API_KEY) set up. If not, use the "setup-api-key" skill first.
  • The language model provider and specific models are subject to availability and pricing from those providers.
  • Consider the length constraints (under 30 words) when defining the system message for the assistant's language model.
