The LiveKit Agents framework is an open-source project, and we welcome any contribution from anyone willing to work in good faith with the community. No contribution is too small!
The LiveKit Agents project has a Code of Conduct to which all contributors must adhere.
There are many ways you can contribute code to the project:
-
Write a plugin: if there is a TTS/STT/LLM provider you use that isn't on our plugins list, feel free to write a plugin for it! Refer to the source code of similar plugins to see how they're built.
-
Fix bugs: we strive to make this framework as reliable as possible, and we'd appreciate your help with squashing bugs and improving stability. Follow the guidelines below for information about authoring pull requests.
-
Add new features: we're open to adding new features to the framework, though we ask that you open an issue first to discuss the viability and scope of the new functionality before starting work.
Our continuous integration requires a few additional code quality steps for your pull request to be approved:
-
Run
ruff check --fix
andruff format
before committing your changes to ensure consistent file formatting and best practices. -
If writing new methods/enums/classes, document them. This project uses pdoc3 for automatic API documentation generation, and every new addition has to be properly documented.
-
On your first pull request, the CLA Assistant bot will give you a link to sign this project's Contributor License Agreement, required to add your code to the repository.
-
There's no need to mess around with
CHANGELOG.md
or package manifests — we have a bot handle that for us. A maintainer will add the necessary notes before merging.
If you can't contribute code, you can still help us greatly by helping out community members who
may have questions about the framework and how to use it. Join the #agents
channel on
our Slack.
