Voice & Multimodal — AI Agents, Skills & Tools
Agents, skills, guides, tools, and commands for voice & multimodal — 81 curated resources for building with AI coding agents.
OCR Fidelity Reviewer
Review supplied OCR text and readable source-page images for transcription fidelity. Flag changed characters, reading-order errors and unsupported proposed corrections with page/region evidence; do not interpret document meaning, guess unreadable text, certify authenticity or overwrite the source.
Voice Agent Engineer
Use this agent to build or fix a real-time voice agent — the streaming STT → LLM → TTS pipeline, conversational (mouth-to-ear) latency, turn-taking, barge-in/interruptions, and per-stage provider selection. Examples — "our voice bot feels laggy and talks over people, fix the turn-taking and latency", "build a phone agent that transcribes, answers with our LLM, and speaks back", "get our voice agent's response time under a second".
Design Systems Librarian
Use this agent to keep a design system's tokens, components, and documentation consistent with each other — finding hardcoded colors, spacing, and radii that should be tokens, components with no docs and docs describing variants that no longer exist, naming drift between token names, component names, and design-tool variables, and stale documentation — then reporting the drift with severity and a prioritized fix list. Examples — 'audit our design system for hardcoded values', 'which components are undocumented or documented wrong?', 'our token names and the Figma variables have diverged, show me where'.
Storyboard Continuity Reviewer
Review storyboard frames or shot descriptions against an approved script and supplied continuity constraints. Flag omitted beats, changed actions, prop/character drift and timing assumptions in a shot-level report; do not rewrite the approved script, generate images or grant production approval.
Caption Reviewer
Review supplied caption text, timing and human listening notes against a named media version. Flag uncertain words, speaker/sound omissions and timing conflicts in an issue ledger; never claim to hear inaccessible audio, rewrite the source media or certify accessibility compliance.
Speech Cleanup Reviewer
Review original-versus-processed speech listening notes and a timed cleanup sheet for a supplied recording. Flag lost words, altered pronunciation, missing useful sound and unsupported keep decisions; do not claim to listen through a text-only tool, process audio or select a final master without a listener.
Multimodal Document Extractor
Extract structured data from documents and images with a vision-language model — define the target schema, prompt the VLM to fill it from the page (invoices, forms, receipts, statements, IDs), and verify critical fields against the source. Use when you need reliable structured output from messy, varied, or scanned documents that defeat template-based OCR.
Component Spec Writer
Turn a component screenshot or written description into a developer handoff spec covering anatomy, variants, states, a props table with types and defaults, behavior, responsive rules, edge cases, accessibility notes for an auditor to verify, and open questions, keeping what the artifact shows separate from what was inferred and turning every gap into a question instead of a plausible default. Use when a component is going to engineering and the design file is the only documentation that exists.
Design Brief Writer
Turn a messy design request you paste in (a Slack thread, an email chain, meeting notes, a ticket) into a one-page design brief: goal, audience, constraints, success criteria, scope and non-goals, references needed, open questions, and timeline placeholders, with every item the source did not state marked as an inference and no constraint or deadline invented. Use when a request has arrived in fragments and the brief has to exist before design work starts.
Design Critique Checklist
Critique an attached screenshot or a described screen against a fixed seven-part checklist (visual hierarchy, spacing and alignment, typography, color and contrast as observed, empty, loading, and error states, consistency, and copy) and return findings in one set report format, each with a location, a severity, and a suggested fix, deferring every WCAG measurement to an accessibility audit. Use when you want a repeatable design review of a screen that reads the same from one round to the next.
Design Token Extractor
Read a screenshot, a pasted stylesheet, or a written component description and produce a design token set as W3C DTCG-style JSON, with colors, a type scale, spacing, radii, and shadows grouped and named, followed by a notes list saying which values were read exactly, snapped to a scale, or estimated by eye. Use when a design exists only as pixels or ad-hoc CSS and you need a named token set to start from.
Storyboard Shot Brief
Convert an approved short script into a shot brief with stable beat IDs, action, dialogue, composition, continuity constraints and proposed duration. Use before storyboard image generation; do not write a new script, create final art or approve a production.
UX Copy Reviewer
Review a set of interface strings you paste in (buttons, labels, empty states, errors, confirmations, tooltips) as one set rather than one at a time, checking clarity, term consistency across screens, error and empty-state quality, whether each action label matches what happens, and length against any limits you supply, and returning a verdict and a rewrite per string without inventing a product fact the strings do not contain. Use when microcopy has accumulated across a product and nobody has read it end to end.
OCR Correction Ledger
Build a proposed OCR correction ledger from a fixed OCR text copy and readable source-page images or human-verified image notes, preserving original spans, Unicode offsets, replacements, locators and unresolved status. Use before a reviewer creates a corrected copy; do not extract business conclusions or alter original scans.
Caption Correction Ledger
Build a caption correction ledger from supplied caption text and verified listening notes, preserving cue IDs, original wording, proposed wording, timing, evidence and unresolved decisions. Use after automatic transcription and before a human approves edits; do not translate, clip or publish media.
Speech Cleanup Review Sheet
Build a timed original-versus-processed speech cleanup review sheet from supplied listener observations, preserving variant IDs, intelligibility concerns, decisions and reviewer evidence. Use after processing a recording; do not transcribe, synthesize voices, edit audio or publish a master.

Design-to-Code
Design-to-code is turning a design — a Figma file, a screenshot, or a generated mockup — into working front-end code, increasingly by an AI agent.
Design Tokens
Design tokens are named values for a design system's decisions — color, spacing, type, radius — stored once and referenced everywhere instead of hardcoded.
Diffusion Model
A diffusion model generates an image by starting from random noise and removing it step by step, guided by a prompt, until a coherent picture remains.
Generative UI
Generative UI is an interface produced by a model from a prompt — a whole screen, flow, or prototype generated rather than assembled by hand.
Optical character recognition (OCR)
Optical character recognition converts text pictured in a scan or image into machine-readable characters; recognition output still needs source checks.
Speech enhancement
Speech enhancement reduces unwanted noise or artifacts in recorded speech; AI-processed audio still needs comparison with the original for intelligibility.
Text-to-Image
Text-to-image is generating a picture from a written prompt, using a model trained to turn a description into pixels — or, in some tools, vectors.
