ElevenLabs

agent-simplification

Simplify a complex ElevenLabs voice agent (typically a large workflow agent) into a leaner architecture — fewer workflow nodes, deduplicated prompts, procedures where they help — while PROVING with a ground-truth test suite that every behaviour of the original is preserved or imp

architect-agent-memory

Use when the user wants the agent to remember, learn, save, or memorize a fact, or reports a one-off "the agent said X but should say Y" correction. There is no memory endpoint over REST; this covers the durable alternatives (system prompt or knowledge base) and when to use them.

architect-branches-versions-merge

Use when working with agent branches, versions, drafts, traffic splits, or merges. Fires on "make a copy to test on", "create a branch", "switch to my test branch", "send 10% of traffic to the new version", "roll it out gradually", "merge my branch back to main", or when a branch

architect-create-client-tool

Use when the user wants the agent to trigger something in their own browser, app, or SDK during a call (navigate a page, open or close a dialog, read on-screen context, run client-side code), or asks "how do I add a client tool", "make the agent do something in my app", or report

architect-create-llm-test

Use when the user wants a single-turn test that checks WHAT the agent says for a given turn. Fires on "add a test that the agent greets the caller", "test that it always reads the disclosure", "make sure it refuses off-topic questions", "write an eval for this reply", or "add a p

architect-create-simulation-test

architect-create-tool-test

Use when the user wants a test asserting the agent CALLS a specific tool (with specific parameters, or does NOT call it). Fires on "test that it calls my booking tool", "verify it passes the right customer_id", "make sure it never calls transfer here", "add a tool test", "check i

architect-create-webhook-tool

Use when the user wants to give an agent a NEW webhook / server / HTTP tool so it can call an external API (look up a customer, create a ticket, check inventory, hit their backend). Fires on "add a webhook tool", "connect my agent to my API", "make a tool that calls my endpoint",

architect-edit-existing-tool

Use when the user wants to change an existing tool on their agent (rename it, fix its description, change a webhook URL/headers/auth, add or edit a request-body parameter or response assignment, adjust the timeout, or flip a client tool's expects_response / execution mode), or wh

architect-edit-string-fields

Use when changing wording inside a long text field on an agent (system prompt, first message / greeting, tool description, workflow node prompt, or procedure content) - "add this to the prompt", "change this line", "append a rule", "reword the greeting", "fix the tool description

architect-edit-workflows

Use when the user wants to build or change an agent's workflow or a specific node ("add a node", "connect these nodes", "route to a phone transfer", "add a condition/edge", "delete this node", "why does deploy say duplicate edge"), or a workflow change is failing validation.

architect-explain-test-runs

Use when the user asks why a test or test run passed or failed, why one run in a repeat set differs, which procedures or tools were used during a run, or wants a summary of test suite history. Fires on "why did 1 of the 3 runs fail", "why is this test failing", "which procedures

architect-explore-agent

Use when starting a task that needs an agent's current setup, or when another skill tells you to explore the agent first, before making recommendations or changes to a ConvAI agent.

architect-generate-agent

Use when the user asks to generate, build, or create a new agent from a description ("create an agent for X", "build a chatbot that does Y"). There is no one-shot generate endpoint over REST; ask clarifying questions, then build via create and refine via patch.

architect-get-agent-ci-green

Use when an agent's test suite is red and needs to be driven to green. Fires on "get CI green", "the test suite is failing", "run the tests and fix them", "triage these test failures", "why is my agent suite red", or after attaching tests when many runs fail at once. Covers runni

architect-llm-selection

Use when choosing or recommending an LLM for an ElevenLabs agent, or answering "which model should this agent use", questions about region-restricted models, HIPAA/PCI/ZRM model eligibility, or latency/intelligence/cost tradeoffs between models.

architect-manage-procedures

Use when you want to add, edit, rename, inspect, or list an agent's procedures, or when a procedure create/edit call fails with schema_mismatch, validation, not_found, a 405, or a 422 missing `type`. Also use when a newly created procedure comes back empty or 404s on read. Covers

architect-migrate-from-competitor

Use when the user wants to move a voice agent onto ElevenLabs Conversational AI from another platform — Retell AI, Vapi, or Bland — or hands over an export from one of them to work from. Fires on "migrate my Retell agent", "convert this Vapi assistant", "move from Bland to Eleven

architect-migrate-to-procedures

Use when the user wants to migrate a system-prompt-driven agent to a procedure-driven setup, pull step-by-step logic out of a heavy system prompt, or "convert my prompt into procedures".

architect-mock-all-tools

Use when a simulation test needs every tool call mocked so runs are deterministic and never hit live systems. Fires on "mock all tools", "mock the tools in this test", "the test says no mock matched", "tool returned an error in my test run", "stop my test calling the real API", o

architect-post-call-data

Use when the user wants to extract structured fields from finished calls (data collection) or define success/failure evaluation criteria for post-call analysis. Covers field types, enums, the independent-extraction rule, writing criteria as questions, UNKNOWN for early terminatio

architect-review-live-calls

Review an agent's recent finished conversations to find what is actually going wrong in production, then route each finding to a fix. Use when the user says 'we just launched this agent, how is it doing', 'review the last 3 days of calls', 'check how the agent is performing', 'mo

architect-schedule-launch

Use when preparing an agent change now but applying it later at a specific moment (product launch, marketing go-live, embargo, scheduled announcement). Fires on "queue up these changes and publish at launch", "prepare this now but don't make it live until tomorrow", "stage a know

architect-secure-for-production

Use when a customer asks how to make their agent safe, secure, or production-ready, or how to roll it out without risk. Walks through the layered safety model across authentication, guardrails, testing, gradual rollout, real-time monitoring, and privacy.

architect-structured-procedures

Use when you want to create, rewrite, inspect, or fix a structured / deterministic / flow-style procedure, convert a procedure between free-form and structured, or when a deterministic procedure fails validation or the compile step rejects the JSON. The authoritative JSON schema

architect-troubleshoot-tool-errors

Use when an agent tool (webhook/server, client, system, or MCP) errors, fails validation, won't save, isn't being invoked, returns no result, or behaves wrong, including "tool not used", "property cannot be empty", async/timeout, or test/simulation failures.

architect-turn-taking-latency

Use when the user asks about turn taking, speculative turns, agent response latency, preparing responses while the user speaks, turn eagerness or timeout, or how fast the agent replies.

architect-update-config-safely

Use when changing an agent setting (LLM, voice, TTS model, language, first message, ASR, guardrails, timeouts, turn-taking, data collection, evaluation criteria) and wanting it to actually apply, or on symptoms like "it won't save", "the change didn't take", "schema mismatch", "i

code-tools

Generate JavaScript/TypeScript modules for ElevenLabs code tools — sandbox tools that export a default async (ctx) => function, call APIs via fetch with ctx.secrets / ctx.config / ctx.auth_connections, and return a minimized result to the agent. Use when the user says 'write a co

fix-agent-qa-ticket

Fix an Architect QA triage ticket (agtqa_*) end-to-end via the raw agents API: fetch the ticket + conversation, find the root-cause procedure or prompt text, fix it on a branch, add + run a simulation test proving the fix, then post a summary comment on the ticket. Use when asked
