What This Skill Does

Covers building real-time, bidirectional streaming apps with the Gemini Live API over WebSockets. Handles audio/video/text input streams, voice activity detection, session management, ephemeral tokens, and function calling. SDKs covered are google-genai (Python) and @google/genai (JavaScript/TypeScript). Rather than piecing together WebSocket protocol details, VAD config, and session management from scattered docs, this skill gives you working patterns for the full Live API lifecycle in one place.
