-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.
-```

-name: docstring
-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
-
-Before finishing, verify:
-

----
-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

-## 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!

+# Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to prepare a Pipecat bot for deployment to **Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime** and enable it to invoke AgentCore tools.
+
+## Overview
+
+This example shows the set needed to:
+
+- Deploy your Pipecat bot to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime (which hosts and runs your bot)
+- Enable your bot to invoke AgentCore tools while running in the AgentCore Runtime
+
+The key additions to a standard Pipecat bot are the AgentCore-specific configurations and tool invocation handling that allow your bot to leverage the full AgentCore ecosystem.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Accounts with:
+  - AWS
+  - OpenAI
+  - Deepgram
+  - Cartesia
+  - Daily
+- Python 3.10 or higher
+- `uv` package manager
+
+## IAM Configuration
+
+Configure your IAM user with the necessary policies for AgentCore usage. Start with these:
+
+- `BedrockAgentCoreFullAccess`
+- A new policy (maybe named `BedrockAgentCoreCLI`) configured [like this](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/runtime-permissions.html#runtime-permissions-starter-toolkit)
+
+You can also choose to specify more granular permissions; see [Amazon Bedrock AgentCore docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/runtime-permissions.html) for more information.
+
+To simplify the remaining steps in this README, it's a good idea to export some AWS-specific environment variables:
+
+```bash
+export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
+export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
+export AWS_REGION=...
+```
+
+## Agent Configuration
+
+Configure your bot as an AgentCore agent.
+
+```bash
+agentcore configure -e bot.py
+```
+
+Follow the prompts to complete the configuration.
+
+**IMPORTANT:** when asked if you want to use "Direct Code Deploy" or "Container", choose "Container". Today there is an incompatibility between Pipecat and "Direct Code Deploy".
+
+> For the curious: "Direct Code Deploy" requires that all bot dependencies have an `aarch64_manylinux2014` wheel...which is unfortunately not true for `numba`.
+
+## Deployment to AgentCore Runtime
+
+Deploy your configured bot to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime for production hosting.
+
+```bash
+agentcore launch --env OPENAI_API_KEY=... --env DEEPGRAM_API_KEY=... --env CARTESIA_API_KEY=... # -a <agent_name> (if multiple agents configured)
+
+# or just use this script, which will read and send all environment variables
+./scripts/launch.sh
+```
+
+You should see commands related to tailing logs printed to the console. Copy and save them for later use.
+
+This is also the command you need to run after you've updated your bot code.
+
+## Running on AgentCore Runtime
+
+Run your bot on AgentCore Runtime.
+
+```bash
+agentcore invoke '{"roomUrl": "https://<your-domain>.daily.co/<room-name>"}' # -a <agent_name> (if multiple agents configured)
+```
+
+In case we wish to define the session-id, to create a new session each time we invoke:
+```bash
+aws-agentcore % agentcore invoke \
+  --session-id user-123456-conversation-12345679 \
+  '{"roomUrl": "https://<your-domain>.daily.co/<room-name>"}'
+```
+
+## Observation
+
+Paste the log tailing command you received when deploying your bot to AgentCore Runtime. It should look something like:
+
+```bash
+# Replace with your actual command
+aws logs tail /aws/bedrock-agentcore/runtimes/bot1-0uJkkT7QHC-DEFAULT --log-stream-name-prefix "2025/11/19/[runtime-logs]" --follow
+```
+
+## Removing your local agent
+
+```bash
+agentcore destroy
+```
+
+## Running Locally
+
+You can also run your bot locally, using either the SmallWebRTC or Daily transport.
+
+First, copy `env.example` to `.env` and fill in the values.
+
+Then, run the bot:
+
+```bash
+# SmallWebRTC
+PIPECAT_LOCAL_DEV=1 uv run python bot.py
+
+# Daily
+PIPECAT_LOCAL_DEV=1 uv run python bot.py -t daily -d
+```
+
+> Ideally you should be able to use `agentcore launch --local`, but it doesn't currently appear to be working (even with [this workaround](https://github.com/aws/bedrock-agentcore-starter-toolkit/issues/156) applied), at least not for this project.
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+For a comprehensive guide to getting started with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, including detailed setup instructions, see the [Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Developer Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/devguide/what-is-bedrock-agentcore.html).

-- Krisp VIVA Turn detection for natural interruptions
-- Voice activity detection (VAD)
-
-Required environment variables:
-- KRISP_VIVA_FILTER_MODEL_PATH: Path to the Krisp noise filter model file (.kef)
-- KRISP_VIVA_TURN_MODEL_PATH: Path to the Krisp turn detection model file (.kef)
-- DEEPGRAM_API_KEY: Deepgram API key for STT/TTS
-- OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI API key for LLM
-
-Optional environment variables:
-- KRISP_NOISE_SUPPRESSION_LEVEL: Noise suppression level 0-100 (default: 100)
-  Higher values = more aggressive noise reduction
-"""
