azure-ai-voicelive-pyBuild real-time voice AI applications using Azure AI Voice Live SDK (azure-ai-voicelive).
Azure AI Voicelive Py is an agent skill from microsoft/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Build real-time voice AI applications using Azure AI Voice Live SDK (azure-ai-voicelive). Use this skill when creating Python applications that need real-time bidirectional audio communication with Azure AI, including voice assistants, voice-enabled chatbots, real-time speech-to-speech translation, voice-driven avatars, or any WebSocket-based audio streaming with AI models. Supports Server VAD (Voice Activity Detection), turn-based conversation, function calling, MCP tools, avatar integration, and transcription.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/api-reference.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/models.md`).
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Realtime and WebSockets, Transcription and Speech recognition and synthesis. It works with Microsoft Azure, Azure AI Speech, Visual Studio Code and Python. The repository describes itself as: Skills, MCP servers, Custom Agents, Agents.md for SDKs to ground Coding Agents. The licence is MIT.
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5741a1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
cognitiveservices.azure.comlearn.microsoft.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALSAZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEYFrom names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Azure AI Voicelive Py loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 388 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

pip install azure-ai-voicelive aiohttp azure-identityAZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_ENDPOINT=https://<region>.api.cognitive.microsoft.com # Required for all auth methods
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod # Required only if DefaultAzureCredential is used in production
AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEY=<api-key> # Only required for the legacy API-key auth path below🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below:
- Prefer
DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation.
- Local dev:
DefaultAzureCredentialworks as-is.- Production: set
AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod(orAZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials.- Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically:
- Sync:
with <Client>(...) as client:- Async:
async with <Client>(...) as client:andasync with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential:(fromazure.identity.aio)Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules.

Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-voicelive-py -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-python/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py in microsoft/skills) into .claude/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-voicelive-py -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.github/plugins/azure-sdk-python/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py in microsoft/skills) into .agents/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-voicelive-py -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py, .gemini/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py, .github/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py and .opencode/skills/azure-ai-voicelive-py in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Azure AI Voicelive Py needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip) and credentials named AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS and AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEY. Our summary lists: Python 3; A credential in AZURE_COGNITIVE_SERVICES_KEY.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. In commands or code: cognitiveservices.azure.com and learn.microsoft.com; the agent is likely to contact these when it follows the instructions. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Azure AI Voicelive Py is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 12k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 11k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
