Brings back the 6 development workflow skills (changelog, cleanup,
code-review, docstring, pr-description, pr-submit) that were moved
to pipecat-ai/skills, and adds a .claude-plugin/marketplace.json so
other pipecat-ai repos can install them. Updates README contributing
section with installation instructions.
Remove bundled Claude Code skills (changelog, cleanup, code-review,
docstring, pr-description, pr-submit) that now live in
https://github.com/pipecat-ai/skills. Add a section to the README
with installation instructions. The update-docs skill remains as
it is specific to this repository.
Does not (yet) touch `InputParams`, to avoid scope creep and touching something currently part of the public API. But there is a lot of overlap between `*Settings` object fields and `InputParams` fields.
Other than discoverability/typing, these are some other improvements brought by this refactor:
- There is now a single code path (see `_update_settings_from_typed`) where services can respond to settings changes (by, say, reconnecting if needed), improving maintainability and guaranteeing one and only one reconnection no matter which settings changed
- `set_language`/`set_model`/`set_voice`—which we're assuming are usable as public methods, though *not* recommended over `*UpdateSettingsFrame`—all use the same code path as settings updates. They're also now all consistent in that, if a service needs to respond to a change (by, say, reconnecting if needed), any of these methods will kick off that process. Note that this is technically a behavior change.
- Several services now properly react to changed settings by reconnecting:
- `AWSTranscribeSTTService`
- `AzureSTTService`
- `SonioxSTTService`
- `GladiaSTTService`
- `SpeechmaticsSTTService`
- `AssemblyAISTTService`
- `CartesiaSTTService`
- `FishAudioTTSService` (would previously only reconnect when `model` changed)
- `GoogleSTTService`
- `SpeechmaticsSTTService` (which previously only handled *some* settings updates through a nonstandard public `update_params` method)
- `GradiumSTTService`
- `NvidiaSegmentedSTTService` (which previously only handled changes to language)
- Bookkeeping across various services has been reduced, mostly by deduping ivars; the `self._settings` ivar is treated as the source of truth
NOTE: I pretty much guarantee that there are services missed in this PR in terms of bringing to consistency with how updates are handled (like whether changes in certain fields trigger reconnects when they need to). We can squash remaining inconsistencies as we stumble onto them, service by service. The goal here is to get things *mostly* in order, and establish the infrastructure and patterns we'll need going forward.
