# Azure AI VoiceLive SDK for Java

## Overview

This public intake copy packages `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-java` from `https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills` into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses `metadata.json` plus `ORIGIN.md` as the provenance anchor for review.

# Azure AI VoiceLive SDK for Java Real-time, bidirectional voice conversations with AI assistants using WebSocket technology.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Environment Variables, Authentication, Key Concepts, Voice Configuration, Function Calling, Error Handling.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

- This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
- Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Azure AI VoiceLive SDK for Java. Real-time bidirectional voice conversations with AI assistants using WebSocket.
- Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
- Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
- Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
- Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

## Operating Table

| Situation | Start here | Why it matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| First-time use | `metadata.json` | Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path before touching the copied workflow |
| Provenance review | `ORIGIN.md` | Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source |
| Workflow execution | `SKILL.md` | Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution |
| Supporting context | `SKILL.md` | Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package |
| Handoff decision | `## Related Skills` | Helps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts |

## Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

6. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
7. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.

### Imported Workflow Notes

#### Imported: Installation

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-ai-voicelive</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-beta.2</version>
</dependency>
```

#### Imported: Core Workflow

### 1. Start Session

```java
import reactor.core.publisher.Mono;

client.startSession("gpt-4o-realtime-preview")
    .flatMap(session -> {
        System.out.println("Session started");
        
        // Subscribe to events
        session.receiveEvents()
            .subscribe(
                event -> System.out.println("Event: " + event.getType()),
                error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error.getMessage())
            );
        
        return Mono.just(session);
    })
    .block();
```

### 2. Configure Session Options

```java
import com.azure.ai.voicelive.models.*;
import java.util.Arrays;

ServerVadTurnDetection turnDetection = new ServerVadTurnDetection()
    .setThreshold(0.5)                    // Sensitivity (0.0-1.0)
    .setPrefixPaddingMs(300)              // Audio before speech
    .setSilenceDurationMs(500)            // Silence to end turn
    .setInterruptResponse(true)           // Allow interruptions
    .setAutoTruncate(true)
    .setCreateResponse(true);

AudioInputTranscriptionOptions transcription = new AudioInputTranscriptionOptions(
    AudioInputTranscriptionOptionsModel.WHISPER_1);

VoiceLiveSessionOptions options = new VoiceLiveSessionOptions()
    .setInstructions("You are a helpful AI voice assistant.")
    .setVoice(BinaryData.fromObject(new OpenAIVoice(OpenAIVoiceName.ALLOY)))
    .setModalities(Arrays.asList(InteractionModality.TEXT, InteractionModality.AUDIO))
    .setInputAudioFormat(InputAudioFormat.PCM16)
    .setOutputAudioFormat(OutputAudioFormat.PCM16)
    .setInputAudioSamplingRate(24000)
    .setInputAudioNoiseReduction(new AudioNoiseReduction(AudioNoiseReductionType.NEAR_FIELD))
    .setInputAudioEchoCancellation(new AudioEchoCancellation())
    .setInputAudioTranscription(transcription)
    .setTurnDetection(turnDetection);

// Send configuration
ClientEventSessionUpdate updateEvent = new ClientEventSessionUpdate(options);
session.sendEvent(updateEvent).subscribe();
```

### 3. Send Audio Input

```java
byte[] audioData = readAudioChunk(); // Your PCM16 audio data
session.sendInputAudio(BinaryData.fromBytes(audioData)).subscribe();
```

### 4. Handle Events

```java
session.receiveEvents().subscribe(event -> {
    ServerEventType eventType = event.getType();
    
    if (ServerEventType.SESSION_CREATED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("Session created");
    } else if (ServerEventType.INPUT_AUDIO_BUFFER_SPEECH_STARTED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("User started speaking");
    } else if (ServerEventType.INPUT_AUDIO_BUFFER_SPEECH_STOPPED.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("User stopped speaking");
    } else if (ServerEventType.RESPONSE_AUDIO_DELTA.equals(eventType)) {
        if (event instanceof SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta) {
            SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta audioEvent = (SessionUpdateResponseAudioDelta) event;
            playAudioChunk(audioEvent.getDelta());
        }
    } else if (ServerEventType.RESPONSE_DONE.equals(eventType)) {
        System.out.println("Response complete");
    } else if (ServerEventType.ERROR.equals(eventType)) {
        if (event instanceof SessionUpdateError) {
            SessionUpdateError errorEvent = (SessionUpdateError) event;
            System.err.println("Error: " + errorEvent.getError().getMessage());
        }
    }
});
```

#### Imported: Environment Variables

```bash
AZURE_VOICELIVE_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/
AZURE_VOICELIVE_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
```

## Examples

### Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly

```text
Use @azure-ai-voicelive-java to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
```

**Explanation:** This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

### Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review

```text
Review @azure-ai-voicelive-java against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
```

**Explanation:** Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

### Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution

```text
Use @azure-ai-voicelive-java for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
```

**Explanation:** This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

### Example 4: Build a reviewer packet

```text
Review @azure-ai-voicelive-java using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
```

**Explanation:** This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.



## Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

- Use async client — VoiceLive requires reactive patterns
- Configure turn detection for natural conversation flow
- Enable noise reduction for better speech recognition
- Handle interruptions gracefully with setInterruptResponse(true)
- Use Whisper transcription for input audio transcription
- Close sessions properly when conversation ends
- Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.

#### Imported: Best Practices

1. **Use async client** — VoiceLive requires reactive patterns
2. **Configure turn detection** for natural conversation flow
3. **Enable noise reduction** for better speech recognition
4. **Handle interruptions** gracefully with `setInterruptResponse(true)`
5. **Use Whisper transcription** for input audio transcription
6. **Close sessions** properly when conversation ends

## Troubleshooting

### Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

**Symptoms:** The result ignores the upstream workflow in `plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-java`, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
**Solution:** Re-open `metadata.json`, `ORIGIN.md`, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Load only the files that materially change the answer, then restate the provenance before continuing.

### Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

**Symptoms:** Reviewers can see the generated `SKILL.md`, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
**Solution:** Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

### Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

**Symptoms:** The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
**Solution:** Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
