Design a voice AI agent for phone or in-app conversations — call flows, interruption handling, escalation to humans, and the metrics that catch a bad voice experience. Use when asked to design a voice agent, automate a phone line, spec an IVR replacement, or review why callers hate an existing voice bot. Produces a voice agent spec: persona and disclosure policy, conversation architecture, barge-in and repair behaviour, human-handoff rules, and a launch scorecard.
What to give it
▸The line and its traffic — what people call about (top intents with rough volumes), current handle times
▸What the agent may actually do — which systems it can read/write, what it can promise
▸The escalation reality — human hours, queue lengths, what happens after-hours
▸Compliance context — recording consent, disclosure requirements, regulated statements in this domain
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Every owned intent is completable with the agent's *actual* system access — no "owns refunds" without refund API access
✓The opening discloses AI status and the escape hatch, verbatim in the spec
✓No designed utterance exceeds two sentences before yielding
✓The repair ladder changes strategy at each rung — no repeat-louder step
✓Handoff carries the whisper summary; "please hold while I transfer you" to a cold human fails the spec
✓The scorecard pairs containment with caller-scored success
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not port the chatbot script to voice — text tolerates paragraphs and menus; ears don't
Do not hide the human escape hatch to protect containment metrics — callers find the exit anyway, angrier
Do not let the agent bluff on regulated topics (medical, legal, financial advice) — pass or read the approved statement
Do not re-ask a failed question unchanged — the caller heard you; the strategy failed, not their ears
Do not launch without the mid-flow hang-up metric — it's where voice agents quietly hemorrhage trust
