When your agent uses it

  • Working with Retell AI for voice agents
  • With phrases like retell core workflow a
  • Retellai-core-workflow-a

Example prompts

  • “retell core workflow a”
  • “retellai-core-workflow-a”
  • “voice agent”
  • “/retellai-core-workflow-a”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Agent with Function Calling
  2. Configure Voice and Behavior
  3. Update Agent Configuration

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.retellai.com
    • npmjs.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Retellai Core Workflow A loads about 914 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~914

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Retell AI Core Workflow A

Overview

Build and configure voice agents with custom prompts, function calling, and call flow logic.

Prerequisites

  • Completed retellai-hello-world

Instructions

Step 1: Agent with Function Calling
typescript
const llm = await retell.llm.create({
  model: 'gpt-4o',
  general_prompt: `You are a booking assistant for Dr. Smith's office.
    - Help callers book, reschedule, or cancel appointments
    - Collect: name, phone, preferred date/time
    - Confirm all details before booking`,
  functions: [
    {
      name: 'book_appointment',
      description: 'Book a new appointment',
      parameters: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          patient_name: { type: 'string' },
          phone: { type: 'string' },
          date: { type: 'string', description: 'YYYY-MM-DD format' },
          time: { type: 'string', description: 'HH:MM format' },
        },
        required: ['patient_name', 'phone', 'date', 'time'],
      },
      url: 'https://your-api.com/appointments',
      speak_during_execution: true,
      speak_after_execution: true,
    },
  ],
});
Step 2: Configure Voice and Behavior
typescript
const agent = await retell.agent.create({
  response_engine: { type: 'retell-llm', llm_id: llm.llm_id },
  voice_id: '11labs-Rachel',
  agent_name: 'Dr. Smith Booking Agent',
  language: 'en-US',
  opt_out_sensitive_data_storage: false,
  end_call_after_silence_ms: 10000,  // End call after 10s silence
  max_call_duration_ms: 300000,       // 5-minute max
  enable_backchannel: true,           // "mhm", "yeah" responses
  boosted_keywords: ['appointment', 'schedule', 'Dr. Smith'],
});
Step 3: Update Agent Configuration
typescript
await retell.agent.update(agent.agent_id, {
  voice_id: '11labs-Dorothy',  // Change voice
  end_call_after_silence_ms: 15000,
});

Output

  • Agent with custom LLM prompt and function calling
  • Voice and behavior configuration
  • Real-time function execution during calls

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
Function not triggeringPrompt doesn't guide to functionInclude function use in prompt
Voice quality issuesWrong voice selectionTest different voices
Call ending too earlyShort silence timeoutIncrease end_call_after_silence_ms

Examples

Create and validate a new appointment-intake agent

Build the agent in a development project with a narrow appointment-booking tool and a synthetic calendar. Run representative happy-path, no-availability, and human-handoff calls, checking that each tool request uses the expected arguments. Review the redacted transcripts with the service owner, then create a versioned preview for a limited internal canary; keep the previous agent version available until the new flow meets its completion and transfer goals.
