Vapi Skills for AI coding assistants

Vapi Skills are instruction packages that help compatible AI coding assistants complete Vapi development tasks. Choose a skill for the task you want to do, such as creating an assistant, configuring a tool, or testing a Squad. The latest Vapi Skills release provides a ZIP for each skill.

Install Vapi Skills

Download a skill ZIP from the latest release. Each skill below links to its ZIP in that release.

To install directly from the repository with the Skills CLI instead, run:

npx skills add VapiAI/skills

To install one skill, pass its name. For example, to work on a Squad:

npx skills add VapiAI/skills --skill create-squad

For skill directory locations and other installation methods, see the repository installation instructions. For live Vapi API operations, configure a private API key as VAPI_API_KEY in your environment. Follow the API key security guidance; keep private keys out of chats and source code.
