## Description

Build conversational AI voice agents on the ElevenLabs platform. Configure agent + tools + knowledge base, integrate SDK (React / React Native / Swift / JS / server-side), test, deploy. Use whenever the user mentions ElevenLabs, building a voice agent, an AI phone system, an AI receptionist, conversational AI, or troubleshooting deprecated @11labs packages, webhook errors, CSP violations, localhost allowlist, or tool parsing errors.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# ElevenLabs Agent Builder

Build a production-ready conversational AI voice agent. Produces a configured agent with tools, knowledge base, and SDK integration.

## Packages

```bash
npm install @elevenlabs/react           # React SDK
npm install @elevenlabs/client          # JavaScript SDK (browser + server)
npm install @elevenlabs/react-native    # React Native SDK
npm install @elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js   # Full API (server only)
npm install -g @elevenlabs/agents-cli   # CLI ("Agents as Code")
```

**DEPRECATED:** `@11labs/react`, `@11labs/client` -- uninstall if present.

**Server-only warning:** `@elevenlabs/elevenlabs-js` uses Node.js `child_process` and won't work in browsers. Use `@elevenlabs/client` for browser environments, or create a proxy server.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Create Agent via Dashboard or CLI

**Dashboard:** https://elevenlabs.io/app/conversational-ai -> Create Agent

**CLI (Agents as Code):**
```bash
elevenlabs agents init
elevenlabs agents add "Support Bot" --template customer-service
# Edit agent_configs/support-bot.json
elevenlabs agents push --env dev
```

Templates: `default`, `minimal`, `voice-only`, `text-only`, `customer-service`, `assistant`.

Configure:
- **Voice** -- Choose from 5000+ voices or clone
- **LLM** -- GPT, Claude, Gemini, or custom
- **System prompt** -- Use the 6-component framework below
- **First message** -- What the agent says when conversation starts

### Step 2: Write the System Prompt

Use the 6-component framework for effective agent prompts:

**1. Personality** -- who the agent is:
```
You are [NAME], a [ROLE] at [COMPANY].
You have [EXPERIENCE]. Your traits: [LIST TRAITS].
```

**2. Environment** -- communication context:
```
You're communicating via [phone/chat/video].
Consider [environmental factors]. Adapt to [context].
```
