+description: Create changelog files for important commits in a PR
+---
+
+Create changelog files for the important commits in this PR. The PR number is provided as an argument.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, check what commits are on the current branch compared to main:
+   ```
+   git log main..HEAD --oneline
+   ```
+
+2. For each significant change, create a changelog file in the `changelog/` folder using the format:
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.md` - for new features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.added.2.md`, `{PR_NUMBER}.added.3.md` - for additional new features
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.changed.md` - for changes to existing functionality
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.fixed.md` - for bug fixes
+   - `{PR_NUMBER}.deprecated.md` - for deprecations
+
+3. Each changelog file should at least contain a main single line starting with `- ` followed by a clear description of the change.
+
+4. If the change is complicated, changelog files can have indented lines after the main line with additional details or code samples.
+
+5. Use ⚠️ emoji prefix for breaking changes.
+
+## Example
+
+For PR #3519 with a new feature and a bug fix:
+
+`changelog/3519.added.md`:
+```
+- Added `SomeNewFeature` for doing something useful.
+```
+
+`changelog/3519.fixed.md`:
+```
+- Fixed an issue where something was not working correctly.
+```

+description: Document a Python module and its classes using Google style
+---
+
+Document a Python module and its classes using Google-style docstrings following project conventions. The class name is provided as an argument.
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, find the class in the codebase:
+   ```
+   Search for "class ClassName" in src/pipecat/
+   ```
+
+2. If multiple files contain that class name:
+   - List all matches with their file paths
+   - Ask the user which one they want to document
+   - Wait for confirmation before proceeding
+
+3. Once the file is identified, read the module to understand its structure:
+   - Identify all classes, functions, and important type aliases
+   - Understand the purpose of each component
+
+4. Apply documentation in this order:
+   - Module docstring (at top, after imports)
+   - Class docstrings
+   - `__init__` methods (always document constructor parameters)
+   - Public methods (not starting with `_`)
+   - Dataclass/config classes with field descriptions
+
+5. Skip documentation for:
+   - Private methods (starting with `_`)
+   - Simple dunder methods (`__str__`, `__repr__`, `__post_init__`)
+   - Very simple pass-through properties
+   - **Already documented code** - If a class, method, or function already has a complete docstring that follows the project style, do not modify it. A docstring is complete if it has:
+     - A one-line summary
+     - Args section (if it has parameters)
+     - Returns section (if it returns something meaningful)
+   - Only add or improve documentation where it is missing or incomplete
+
+## Module Docstring Format
+
+```python
+"""[One-line description of module purpose].
+
+[Optional: Longer explanation of functionality, key classes, or use cases.]
+"""
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+"""Neuphonic text-to-speech service implementations.
+
+This module provides WebSocket and HTTP-based integrations with Neuphonic's
+text-to-speech API for real-time audio synthesis.
+"""
+```
+
+## Class Docstring Format
+
+```python
+class ClassName:
+    """One-line summary describing what the class does.
+
+    [Longer description explaining purpose, behavior, and key features.
+    Use action-oriented language.]
+
+    [Optional: Event handlers, usage notes, or important caveats.]
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+class FrameProcessor(BaseObject):
+    """Base class for all frame processors in the pipeline.
+
+    Frame processors are the building blocks of Pipecat pipelines, they can be
+    linked to form complex processing pipelines. They receive frames, process
+    them, and pass them to the next or previous processor in the chain.
+
+    Event handlers available:
+
+    - on_before_process_frame: Called before a frame is processed
+    - on_after_process_frame: Called after a frame is processed
+
+    Example::
+
+        @processor.event_handler("on_before_process_frame")
+        async def on_before_process_frame(processor, frame):
+            ...
+
+        @processor.event_handler("on_after_process_frame")
+        async def on_after_process_frame(processor, frame):
+            ...
+    """
+```
+
+Note: When listing event handlers, do NOT use backticks. Include an `Example::` section (with double colon for Sphinx) showing the decorator pattern and function signature for each event.
+
+## Constructor (`__init__`) Format
+
+```python
+def __init__(self, *, param1: Type, param2: Type = default, **kwargs):
+    """Initialize the [ClassName].
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of param1 and its purpose.
+        param2: Description of param2. Defaults to [default].
+        **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to parent class.
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+def __init__(
+    self,
+    *,
+    api_key: str,
+    voice_id: Optional[str] = None,
+    sample_rate: Optional[int] = 22050,
+    **kwargs,
+):
+    """Initialize the Neuphonic TTS service.
+
+    Args:
+        api_key: Neuphonic API key for authentication.
+        voice_id: ID of the voice to use for synthesis.
+        sample_rate: Audio sample rate in Hz. Defaults to 22050.
+        **kwargs: Additional arguments passed to parent InterruptibleTTSService.
+    """
+```
+
+## Method Docstring Format
+
+```python
+async def method_name(self, param1: Type) -> ReturnType:
+    """One-line summary of what method does.
+
+    [Longer description if behavior isn't obvious.]
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of param1.
+
+    Returns:
+        Description of return value.
+
+    Raises:
+        ExceptionType: When this exception is raised.
+    """
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+async def put(self, item: Tuple[Frame, FrameDirection, FrameCallback]):
+    """Put an item into the priority queue.
+
+    System frames (`SystemFrame`) have higher priority than any other
+    frames. If a non-frame item is provided it will have the highest priority.
+
+    Args:
+        item: The item to enqueue.
+    """
+```
+
+## Dataclass/Config Format
+
+```python
+@dataclass
+class ConfigName:
+    """One-line description of configuration.
+
+    [Explanation of when/how to use this config.]
+
+    Parameters:
+        field1: Description of field1.
+        field2: Description of field2. Defaults to [default].
+    """
+
+    field1: Type
+    field2: Type = default_value
+```
+
+Example:
+```python
+@dataclass
+class FrameProcessorSetup:
+    """Configuration parameters for frame processor initialization.
+
+    Parameters:
+        clock: The clock instance for timing operations.
+        task_manager: The task manager for handling async operations.
+        observer: Optional observer for monitoring frame processing events.
+    """
+
+    clock: BaseClock
+    task_manager: BaseTaskManager
+    observer: Optional[BaseObserver] = None
+```
+
+## Enum Documentation Format
+
+```python
+class EnumName(Enum):
+    """One-line description of the enum purpose.
+
+    [Longer description of how the enum is used.]
+
+    Parameters:
+        VALUE1: Description of VALUE1.
+        VALUE2: Description of VALUE2.
+    """
+
+    VALUE1 = 1
+    VALUE2 = 2
+```
+
+## Writing Style Guidelines
+
+- **Concise and professional** - No casual language or filler words
+- **Action-oriented** - Start with verbs: "Processes...", "Manages...", "Converts..."
+- **Purpose before implementation** - Explain WHY before HOW
+- **Clear parameter descriptions** - Include type hints, defaults, and purpose
+- **No redundant type info** - Type hints are in the signature, don't repeat in description
+- **Use backticks for code references** - Wrap class names, method names, event names, parameter names, and code snippets in backticks
+
+Good: "Neuphonic API key for authentication."
+Bad: "str: The API key (string) that is used for authenticating with Neuphonic."
+
+Good: "Triggers `on_speech_started` when the `VADAnalyzer` detects speech."
+Bad: "Triggers on_speech_started when the VADAnalyzer detects speech."
+
+## Deprecation Notice Format
+
+When documenting deprecated code:
+
+```python
+"""[Description].
+
+.. deprecated:: X.X.X
+    `ClassName` is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
+    Use `NewClassName` instead.
+"""
+```
+
+## Checklist

+name: pr-description
+description: Update a GitHub PR description with a summary of changes
+---
+
+Update a GitHub pull request description based on the changes in the PR.
+
+## Arguments
+
+```
+/pr-description <PR_NUMBER> [--fixes <ISSUE_NUMBERS>]
+```
+
+- `PR_NUMBER` (required): The pull request number to update
+- `--fixes` (optional): Comma-separated issue numbers that this PR fixes (e.g., `--fixes 123,456`)
+
+Examples:
+- `/pr-description 3534`
+- `/pr-description 3534 --fixes 123`
+- `/pr-description 3534 --fixes 123,456,789`
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. First, gather information about the PR:
+   - Use GitHub plugin to get PR details (title, current description, base branch)
+   - Use local git to get commits: `git log main..HEAD --oneline`
+   - Use local git to get the diff: `git diff main..HEAD`
+   - Parse any `--fixes` argument for issue numbers
+
+2. Check the existing PR description:
+   - If it already has a complete, accurate description that reflects the changes, do nothing
+   - If it's missing sections, incomplete, or outdated compared to the actual changes, proceed to update
+   - If it only has the template placeholder text, generate a full description
+
+3. Analyze the changes:
+   - Understand the purpose of each commit
+   - Identify any breaking changes (API changes, removed features, behavior changes)
+   - Look for new features, bug fixes, refactoring, or documentation changes
+   - Collect issue numbers from:
+     - The `--fixes` argument (if provided)
+     - Commit messages (patterns like "Fixes #123", "Closes #456", "Resolves #789")
+
+4. Generate or update the PR description with these sections:
+
+## PR Description Format
+
+### Summary (always include)
+
+Brief bullet points describing what changed and why. Focus on the *purpose* and *impact*, not implementation details.
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+
+- Added X to enable Y
+- Fixed bug where Z would happen
+- Refactored W for better maintainability
+```
+
+### Breaking Changes (include only if applicable)
+
+Document any changes that affect existing users or APIs.
+
+```markdown
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- `ClassName.method()` now requires a `param` argument
+- Removed deprecated `old_function()` - use `new_function()` instead
+```
+
+### Testing (include when non-obvious)
+
+How to verify the changes work. Skip for trivial changes.
+
+```markdown
+## Testing
+
+- Run `uv run pytest tests/test_feature.py` to verify the fix
+- Example usage: `uv run examples/new_feature.py`
+```
+
+### Fixes (include if issues are provided or found in commits)
+
+List issues this PR fixes. GitHub will automatically close these issues when the PR is merged.
+
+```markdown
+## Fixes
+
+- Fixes #123
+- Fixes #456
+```
+
+Note: Use "Fixes #X" format (not "Closes" or "Resolves") for consistency. Each issue should be on its own line with "Fixes" to ensure GitHub auto-closes them.
+
+## Guidelines
+
+- **Be concise** - Reviewers should understand the PR in 30 seconds
+- **Focus on why** - The diff shows *what* changed, explain *why*
+- **Skip empty sections** - Only include sections that have content
+- **Use bullet points** - Easier to scan than paragraphs
+- **Don't duplicate the diff** - Avoid listing every file or line changed
+
+## Example Output
+
+```markdown
+## Summary
+
+- Added `/docstring` skill for documenting Python modules with Google-style docstrings
+- Skill finds classes by name and handles conflicts when multiple matches exist
+- Skips already-documented code to avoid unnecessary changes
+
+## Testing
+
+/docstring ClassName
+
+## Fixes
+
+- Fixes #123
+```
+
+## Checklist
+
+Before updating the PR:
+
+- [ ] Verified existing description needs updating (not already complete)
+- [ ] Summary accurately reflects the changes
+- [ ] Breaking changes are clearly documented (if any)
+- [ ] No unnecessary sections included
+- [ ] Description is concise and scannable

+# Community Integrations Guide
+
+Pipecat welcomes community-maintained integrations! As our ecosystem grows, we've established a process for any developer to create and maintain their own service integrations while ensuring discoverability for the Pipecat community.
+
+## Overview
+
+**What we support:** Community-maintained integrations that live in separate repositories and are maintained by their authors.
+
+**What we don't do:** The Pipecat team does not code review, test, or maintain community integrations. We provide guidance and list approved integrations for discoverability.
+
+**Why this approach:** This allows the community to move quickly while keeping the Pipecat core team focused on maintaining the framework itself.
+
+## Submitting your Integration
+
+To be listed as an official community integration, follow these steps:
+
+### Step 1: Build Your Integration
+
+Create your integration following the patterns and examples shown in the "Integration Patterns and Examples" section below.
+
+### Step 2: Set Up Your Repository
+
+Your repository must contain these components:
+
+- **Source code** - Complete implementation following Pipecat patterns
+- **Foundational example** - Single file example showing basic usage (see [Pipecat examples](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/tree/main/examples/foundational))
+- **README.md** - Must include:
+
+  - Introduction and explanation of your integration
+  - Installation instructions
+  - Usage instructions with Pipecat Pipeline
+  - How to run your example
+  - Pipecat version compatibility (e.g., "Tested with Pipecat v0.0.86")
+  - Company attribution: If you work for the company providing the service, please mention this in your README. This helps build confidence that the integration will be actively maintained.
+
+- **LICENSE** - Permissive license (BSD-2 like Pipecat, or equivalent open source terms)
+- **Code documentation** - Source code with docstrings (we recommend following [Pipecat's docstring conventions](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#docstring-conventions))
+- **Changelog** - Maintain a changelog for version updates
+
+### Step 3: Join Discord
+
+Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/pipecat
+
+### Step 4: Submit for Listing
+
+Submit a pull request to add your integration to our [Community Integrations documentation page](https://docs.pipecat.ai/server/services/community-integrations).
+
+**To submit:**
+
+1. Fork the [Pipecat docs repository](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/docs)
+2. Edit the file `server/services/community-integrations.mdx`
+3. Add your integration to the appropriate service category table with:
+   - Service name
+   - Link to your repository
+   - Maintainer GitHub username(s)
+4. Include a link to your demo video (approx 30-60 seconds) in your PR description showing:
+   - Core functionality of your integration
+   - Handling of an interruption (if applicable to service type)
+5. Submit your pull request
+
+Once your PR is submitted, post in the `#community-integrations` Discord channel to let us know.
+
+## Integration Patterns and Examples
+
+### STT (Speech-to-Text) Services
+
+#### Websocket-based Services
+
+**Base class:** `STTService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [DeepgramSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/deepgram/stt.py)
+- [SpeechmaticsSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/speechmatics/stt.py)
+
+#### File-based Services
+
+**Base class:** `SegmentedSTTService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [NvidiaSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/nvidia/stt.py)
+- [FalSTTService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/fal/stt.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- STT services should push `InterimTranscriptionFrames` and `TranscriptionFrames`
+- If confidence values are available, filter for values >50% confidence
+
+### LLM (Large Language Model) Services
+
+#### OpenAI-Compatible Services
+
+**Base class:** `OpenAILLMService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [AzureLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/azure/llm.py)
+- [GrokLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/grok/llm.py) - Shows overriding the base class where needed
+
+#### Non-OpenAI Compatible Services
+
+**Requires:** Full implementation
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [AnthropicLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/anthropic/llm.py)
+- [GoogleLLMService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/llm.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- **Frame sequence:** Output must follow this frame sequence pattern:
+
+  - `LLMFullResponseStartFrame` - Signals the start of an LLM response
+  - `LLMTextFrame` - Contains LLM content, typically streamed as tokens
+  - `LLMFullResponseEndFrame` - Signals the end of an LLM response
+
+- **Context aggregation:** Implement context aggregation to collect user and assistant content:
+  - Aggregators come in pairs with a `user()` instance and `assistant()` instance
+  - Context must adhere to the `LLMContext` universal format
+  - Aggregators should handle adding messages, function calls, and images to the context
+
+### TTS (Text-to-Speech) Services
+
+#### AudioContextWordTTSService
+
+**Use for:** Websocket-based services supporting word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [CartesiaTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/cartesia/tts.py)
+
+#### InterruptibleTTSService
+
+**Use for:** Websocket-based services without word/timestamp alignment, requiring disconnection on interruption
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [SarvamTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/sarvam/tts.py)
+
+#### WordTTSService
+
+**Use for:** HTTP-based services supporting word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [ElevenLabsHttpTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/elevenlabs/tts.py)
+
+#### TTSService
+
+**Use for:** HTTP-based services without word/timestamp alignment
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [GoogleHttpTTSService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/tts.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- For websocket services, use asyncio WebSocket implementation (required for v13+ support)
+- Handle idle service timeouts with keepalives
+- TTSServices push both audio (`TTSRawAudioFrame`) and text (`TTSTextFrame`) frames
+
+### Telephony Serializers
+
+Pipecat supports telephony provider integration using websocket connections to exchange MediaStreams. These services use a FrameSerializer to serialize and deserialize inputs from the FastAPIWebsocketTransport.
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [Twilio](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/serializers/twilio.py)
+- [Telnyx](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/serializers/telnyx.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Include hang-up functionality using the provider's native API, ideally using `aiohttp`
+- Support DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) events if the provider supports them:
+  - Deserialize DTMF events from the provider's protocol to `InputDTMFFrame`
+  - Use `KeypadEntry` enum for valid keypad entries (0-9, \*, #, A-D)
+  - Handle invalid DTMF digits gracefully by returning `None`
+
+### Image Generation Services
+
+**Base class:** `ImageGenService`
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- [FalImageGenService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/fal/image.py)
+- [GoogleImageGenService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/google/image.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Must implement `run_image_gen` method returning an `AsyncGenerator`
+
+### Vision Services
+
+Vision services process images and provide analysis such as descriptions, object detection, or visual question answering.
+
+**Base class:** `VisionService`
+
+**Example:**
+
+- [MoondreamVisionService](https://github.com/pipecat-ai/pipecat/blob/main/src/pipecat/services/moondream/vision.py)
+
+#### Key requirements:
+
+- Must implement `run_vision` method that takes an `LLMContext` and returns an `AsyncGenerator[Frame, None]`
+- The method processes the latest image in the context and yields frames with analysis results
+- Typically yields `TextFrame` objects containing descriptions or answers
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **STT:** `VendorSTTService`
+- **LLM:** `VendorLLMService`
+- **TTS:**
+  - Websocket: `VendorTTSService`
+  - HTTP: `VendorHttpTTSService`
+- **Image:** `VendorImageGenService`
+- **Vision:** `VendorVisionService`
+- **Telephony:** `VendorFrameSerializer`
+
+### Metrics Support
+
+Enable metrics in your service:
+
+```python
+def can_generate_metrics(self) -> bool:
+    """Check if this service can generate processing metrics.
+
+    Returns:
+        True, as this service supports metrics.
+    """
+    return True
+```
+
+### Dynamic Settings Updates
+
+STT, LLM, and TTS services support `ServiceUpdateSettingsFrame` for dynamic configuration changes. The base STTService has an `_update_settings()` method that handles settings, and the private `_settings` `Dict` is used to store settings and provide access to the subclass.
+
+```python
+async def set_language(self, language: Language):
+    """Set the recognition language and reconnect.
+
+    Args:
+        language: The language to use for speech recognition.
+    """
+    logger.info(f"Switching STT language to: [{language}]")
+    self._settings["language"] = language
+    await self._disconnect()
+    await self._connect()
+```
+
+Note that, in this example, Deepgram requires the websocket connection be disconnected and reconnected to reinitialize the service with the new value. Consider if your service requires reconnection.
+
+### Sample Rate Handling
+
+Sample rates are set via PipelineParams and passed to each frame processor at initialization. The pattern is to _not_ set the sample rate value in the constructor of a given service. Instead, use the `start()` method to initialize sample rates from the frame:
+
+```python
+async def start(self, frame: StartFrame):
+    """Start the service."""
+    await super().start(frame)
+    self._settings["output_format"]["sample_rate"] = self.sample_rate
+    await self._connect()
+```
+
+Note that `self.sample_rate` is a `@property` set in the TTSService base class, which provides access to the private sample rate value obtained from the StartFrame.
+
+### Tracing Decorators
+
+Use Pipecat's tracing decorators:
+
+- **STT:** `@traced_stt` - decorate a function that handles `transcript`, `is_final`, `language` as args
+- **LLM:** `@traced_llm` - decorate the `_process_context()` method
+- **TTS:** `@traced_tts` - decorate the `run_tts()` method
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Packaging and Distribution
+
+- Use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for packaging (encouraged)
+- Consider releasing to PyPI for easier installation
+- Follow semantic versioning principles
+- Maintain a changelog
+
+### HTTP Communication
+
+For REST-based communication, use aiohttp. Pipecat includes this as a required dependency, so using it prevents adding an additional dependency to your integration.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Wrap API calls in appropriate try/catch blocks
+- Handle rate limits and network failures gracefully
+- Provide meaningful error messages
+- When errors occur, raise exceptions AND push `ErrorFrame`s to notify the pipeline:
+
+```python
+from pipecat.frames.frames import ErrorFrame
+
+try:
+    # Your API call
+    result = await self._make_api_call()
+except Exception as e:
+    # Push error frame to pipeline
+    await self.push_error(ErrorFrame(error=f"{self} error: {e}"))
+    # Raise or handle as appropriate
+    raise
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+- Your foundational example serves as a valuable integration-level test
+- Unit tests are nice to have. As the Pipecat teams provides better guidance, we will encourage unit testing more
+

+## Changelog Entries
+
+Every pull request that makes a user-facing change should include a changelog entry. We use a changelog fragment system to avoid merge conflicts.
+
+### Creating a Changelog Fragment
+
+1. Create a new file in the `changelog/` directory with this naming pattern:
+
+   ```
+   <PR_number>.<type>.md
+   ```
+
+2. Choose the appropriate type:
+
+   - `added.md` - New features
+   - `changed.md` - Changes in existing functionality
+   - `deprecated.md` - Soon-to-be removed features
+   - `removed.md` - Removed features
+   - `fixed.md` - Bug fixes
+   - `security.md` - Security fixes
+   - `other.md` - Other changes (documentation, dependencies, etc.)
+
+3. Write your changelog entry as a Markdown bullet point. Include the `-` at the start:
+
+**Example files:**
+
+`changelog/1234.added.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Added support for Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet with improved streaming performance.
+```
+
+`changelog/5678.fixed.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Fixed an issue where audio frames were dropped during high-load scenarios.
+```
+
+**For entries with nested bullets:**
+
+`changelog/1234.changed.md`:
+
+```markdown
+- Updated service configuration:
+
+  - Changed default timeout to 30 seconds
+  - Added retry logic for failed connections
+```
+
+### Multiple Changes in One PR
+
+**Different types of changes:** Create separate fragment files for each type:
+
+```
+changelog/1234.added.md
+changelog/1234.fixed.md
+```
+
+**Multiple changes of the same type:** Create numbered fragment files:
+
+```
+changelog/1234.changed.md
+changelog/1234.changed.2.md
+```
+
+**Related changes:** Use nested bullets in a single fragment:
+
+```markdown
+- Updated service configuration:
+
+  - Changed default timeout to 30 seconds
+  - Added retry logic for failed connections
+```
+
+**Rule of thumb:** One logical change per fragment file. If changes are unrelated, use separate files.
+
+### Preview Your Changes
+
+To see what your changelog entry will look like:
+
+```bash
+towncrier build --draft --version Unreleased
+```
+
+This won't modify any files, just show you a preview.
+
+### When to Skip Changelog Entries
+
+You can skip adding a changelog entry for:
+
+- Documentation-only changes
+- Internal refactoring with no user-facing impact
+- Test-only changes
+- CI/build configuration changes
+
+If you're unsure whether your change needs a changelog entry, ask in your PR!
+
+## Dependency Management
+
+This project uses [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for dependency management. The `uv.lock` file is committed to ensure reproducible builds.
+
+### Adding or Updating Dependencies
+
+1. Edit `pyproject.toml` to add/update dependencies
+2. Run `uv lock` to update the lockfile with new dependency resolution
+3. Run `uv sync` to install the updated dependencies locally
+4. Always commit both files together:
+   ```bash
+   git add pyproject.toml uv.lock
+   git commit -m "feat: add new dependency for feature X"
+   ```
+
+**Important:** Never manually edit `uv.lock`. It's auto-generated by `uv lock`.

-
-`ruff` was installed in the `venv` environment described before, so you should be able to use [pyvenv-auto](https://github.com/ryotaro612/pyvenv-auto) to automatically load that environment inside Emacs.

-#### Visual Studio Code
-
-Install the
-[Ruff](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=charliermarsh.ruff) extension. Then edit the user settings (_Ctrl-Shift-P_ `Open User Settings (JSON)`) and set it as the default Python formatter, and enable formatting on save:
-
-```json
-"[python]": {
-    "editor.defaultFormatter": "charliermarsh.ruff",
-    "editor.formatOnSave": true
-}
-```
-
-#### PyCharm
-
-`ruff` was installed in the `venv` environment described before, now to enable autoformatting on save, go to `File` -> `Settings` -> `Tools` -> `File Watchers` and add a new watcher with the following settings:
-
-1. **Name**: `Ruff formatter`
-2. **File type**: `Python`
-3. **Working directory**: `$ContentRoot$`
-4. **Arguments**: `format $FilePath$`
-5. **Program**: `$PyInterpreterDirectory$/ruff`

-## Frames
-
-Frames can represent discrete chunks of data, for instance a chunk of text, a chunk of audio, or an image. They can also be used to as control flow, for instance a frame that indicates that there is no more data available, or that a user started or stopped talking. They can also represent more complex data structures, such as a message array used for an LLM completion.
-
-## FrameProcessors
-
-Frame processors operate on frames. Every frame processor implements a `process_frame` method that consumes one frame and produces zero or more frames. Frame processors can do simple transforms, such as concatenating text fragments into sentences, or they can treat frames as input for an AI Service, and emit chat completions based on message arrays or transform text into audio or images.
-
-## Pipelines
-
-Pipelines are lists of frame processors linked together. Frame processors can push frames upstream or downstream to their peers. A very simple pipeline might chain an LLM frame processor to a text-to-speech frame processor, with a transport as an output.
-
-## Transports
-
-Transports provide input and output frame processors to receive or send frames respectively. For example, the `DailyTransport` does this with a WebRTC session joined to a Daily.co room.

-# A Frame's Progress
-
-1. A user says “Hello, LLM” and the cloud transcription service delivers a transcription to the Transport.
-![A transcript frame arrives](images/frame-progress-01.png)
-
-2. The Transport places a Transcription frame in the Pipeline’s source queue.
-![Frame in source queue](images/frame-progress-02.png)
-
-3. The Pipeline passes the Transcription frame to the first Frame Processor in its list, the LLM User Message Aggregator.
-![To UMA](images/frame-progress-03.png)
-
-4. The LLM User Message Aggregator updates the LLM Context with a `{“user”: “Hello LLM”}` message.
-![Update context](images/frame-progress-04.png)
-
-5. The LLM User Message Aggregator yields an LLM Message Frame, containing the updated LLM Context. The Pipeline passes this frame to the LLM Frame Processor.
-![Update context](images/frame-progress-05.png)
-
-6. The LLM Frame Processor creates a streaming chat completion based on the LLM context and yields the first chunk of a response, Text Frame with the value “Hi, “. The Pipeline passes this frame to the TTS Frame Processor. The TTS Frame Processor aggregates this response but doesn’t yield anything, yet, because it’s waiting for a full sentence.
-![LLM yields Text](images/frame-progress-06.png)
-
-7. The LLM Frame Processor yields another Text Frame with the value “there.”. The Pipeline passes this frame to the TTS Frame Processor.
-![LLM yields more Text](images/frame-progress-07.png)
-
-8. The TTS Frame Processor now has a full sentence, so it starts streaming audio based on “Hi, there.” It yields the first chunk of streaming audio as an Audio frame, which the Pipeline passes to the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator.
-![TTS yields Audio](images/frame-progress-08.png)
-
-9. The LLM Assistant Message Aggregator doesn’t do anything with Audio frames, so it immediately yields the frame, unchanged. This is the convention for all Frame Processors: frames that the processor doesn’t process should be immediately yielded.
-![pass-through](images/frame-progress-09.png)
-
-10. The Pipeline places the first Audio frame in its sink queue, which is being watched by the Transport. Since the frame is now in a queue, the Pipeline can continue processing other frames. Note that the source and sink queues form a sort of “boundary of concurrent processing” between a Pipeline and the outside world. In a Pipeline, Frames are processed sequentially; once a Frame is on a queue it can be processed in parallel with the frames being processed by the Pipeline. TODO: link to a more in-depth section about this.
-![sink queue](images/frame-progress-10.png)
-
-11. The TTS Frame Processor yields another Audio frame as the Transport transmits the first Audio frame.
-![parallel audio](images/frame-progress-11.png)
-
-12. As before, the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator immediately yields the Audio frame and the Pipeline places the Audio frame in the sink queue.
-![sink queue 2](images/frame-progress-12.png)
-
-13. The TTS Frame Processor has no more frames to yield. The LLM Frame Processor emits an LLM Response End Frame, which the Pipeline passes to the TTS Frame Processor.
-![response end](images/frame-progress-13.png)
-
-14. The TTS Frame Processor immediately yields the LLM Response End Frame, so the Pipeline passes it along to the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator. The LLM Assistant Message Aggregator updates the LLM Context with the full response from the LLM. TODO TODO: I realized I forgot that the TSS Frame Processor also yields the Text frames that the LLM emitted so that the LLM Assistant Message Aggregator could accumulate them, arrggh.
-![response end](images/frame-progress-14.png)
-
-15. The system is quiet, and waiting for the next message from the Transport.

-# Understanding Different Frame Types in the Pipecat System
-
-In the Pipecat system, frames are used to represent different types of data and control signals that flow through the pipeline. Understanding these frame types is crucial for working with the system effectively. This tutorial will cover the main categories of frames and their specific uses.
-
-## 1. Base Frame Classes
-
-### Frame
-The `Frame` class is the base class for all frames. It includes:
-- `id`: A unique identifier
-- `name`: A descriptive name
-- `pts`: Presentation timestamp (optional)
-
-### DataFrame
-`DataFrame` is a subclass of `Frame` and serves as a base for most data-carrying frames.
-
-## 2. Audio Frames
-
-### AudioRawFrame
-Represents a chunk of audio with properties:
-- `audio`: Raw audio data
-- `sample_rate`: Audio sample rate
-- `num_channels`: Number of audio channels
-
-Subclasses include:
-- `InputAudioRawFrame`: For audio from input sources
-- `OutputAudioRawFrame`: For audio to be played by output devices
-- `TTSAudioRawFrame`: For audio generated by Text-to-Speech services
-
-## 3. Image Frames
-
-### ImageRawFrame
-Represents an image with properties:
-- `image`: Raw image data
-- `size`: Image dimensions
-- `format`: Image format (e.g., JPEG, PNG)
-
-Subclasses include:
-- `InputImageRawFrame`: For images from input sources
-- `OutputImageRawFrame`: For images to be displayed
-- `UserImageRawFrame`: For images associated with a specific user
-- `VisionImageRawFrame`: For images with associated text for description
-- `URLImageRawFrame`: For images with an associated URL
-
-### SpriteFrame
-Represents an animated sprite, containing a list of `ImageRawFrame` objects.
-
-## 4. Text and Transcription Frames
-
-### TextFrame
-Represents a chunk of text, used for various purposes in the pipeline.
-
-### TranscriptionFrame
-A specialized `TextFrame` for speech transcriptions, including:
-- `user_id`: ID of the speaking user
-- `timestamp`: When the transcription was generated
-- `language`: Detected language of the speech
-
-### InterimTranscriptionFrame
-Similar to `TranscriptionFrame`, but for interim (not final) transcriptions.
-
-## 5. LLM (Language Model) Frames
-
-### LLMMessagesFrame
-Contains a list of messages for an LLM service to process.
-
-### LLMMessagesAppendFrame and LLMMessagesUpdateFrame
-Used to modify the current context of LLM messages.
-
-### LLMSetToolsFrame
-Specifies tools (functions) available for the LLM to use.
-
-### LLMEnablePromptCachingFrame
-Controls prompt caching in certain LLMs.
-
-## 6. System and Control Frames
-
-### SystemFrame
-Base class for system-level frames.
-
-Important system frames include:
-- `StartFrame`: Initiates a pipeline
-- `CancelFrame`: Stops a pipeline immediately
-- `ErrorFrame`: Notifies of errors (with `FatalErrorFrame` for unrecoverable errors)
-- `EndTaskFrame` and `CancelTaskFrame`: Control pipeline tasks
-- `StartInterruptionFrame` and `StopInterruptionFrame`: Indicate user speech for interruptions
-
-### ControlFrame
-Base class for control-flow frames.

-Notable control frames:
-- `EndFrame`: Signals the end of a pipeline
-- `LLMFullResponseStartFrame` and `LLMFullResponseEndFrame`: Bracket LLM responses
-- `UserStartedSpeakingFrame` and `UserStoppedSpeakingFrame`: Indicate user speech activity
-- `BotStartedSpeakingFrame` and `BotStoppedSpeakingFrame`: Indicate bot speech activity
-- `TTSStartedFrame` and `TTSStoppedFrame`: Bracket Text-to-Speech responses

-## 7. Special Purpose Frames
-
-### MetricsFrame
-Contains performance metrics data.
-
-### FunctionCallInProgressFrame and FunctionCallResultFrame
-Used for handling LLM function (tool) calls.
-
-### ServiceUpdateSettingsFrame
-Base class for updating service settings, with specific subclasses for LLM, TTS, and STT services.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-Understanding these frame types is essential for working with the Pipecat system. Each frame type serves a specific purpose in the pipeline, whether it's carrying data (like audio or images), controlling the flow of the pipeline, or managing system-level operations. By using the appropriate frame types, you can effectively process and transmit various kinds of information through your pipeline.

+    This example demonstrates using Speechmatics Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech services
+    with speaker diarization and intelligent speaker management. Key features:
 
-    1. Speaker Diarization
+    1. Speaker Diarization (STT)
        - Automatically identifies and distinguishes between different speakers
        - First speaker is identified as 'S1', others get subsequent IDs
        - Uses `enable_diarization` parameter to manage speaker detection
 
-    2. Smart Speaker Control
+    2. Smart Speaker Control (STT)
        - `focus_speakers` parameter lets you target specific speakers (e.g. ["S1"])
        - Other speakers will be wrapped in PASSIVE tags
        - Only processes speech from focused speakers
        - Words from all speakers are wrapped with XML tags for clear speaker identification
        - Other speakers' speech only sent when focused speaker is active
 
-    3. Voice Activity Detection
+    3. Voice Activity Detection (STT)
        - Built-in VAD using `enable_vad` parameter
        - Remove `vad_analyzer` from `transport` config to use module's VAD
        - Emits speaker started/stopped events
 
-    4. Configuration Options
+    4. Text-to-Speech (TTS)
+       - Low latency streaming audio synthesis
+       - Multiple voice options available including `sarah`, `theo`, `megan` and `jack`
+
+    5. Configuration Options
        - `operating_point` parameter defaults to `ENHANCED` for optimal accuracy
        - Configurable `end_of_utterance_silence_trigger` (default 0.5s)
        - Customizable speaker formatting
        - Additional diarization settings available
