To install a local checkout as a CLI tool (useful for testing changes):

uv tool install --force -e .

Quick Start

# 1. Set up the CLI
vr setup

# 2. Create a new voice agent project
vr init my-agent

# 3. Navigate to the project directory
cd my-agent

# 4. Sign in to VoiceRun
vr signin

# 5. Edit handler.py to customize your agent logic

# 6. Validate your project
vr validate

# 7. Deploy to VoiceRun
vr push

# 8. Debug visually or open the web UI
vr debug      # Launch Pipeline Debugger
vr open       # Open web UI

Authentication

VoiceRun CLI supports three authentication methods:

Browser Authentication (Recommended)

vr signin

Opens your default browser for secure OAuth-style authentication.

Email/Password

vr signin
# Then select option 2 when prompted

API Key

vr signin
# Then select option 3 when prompted

Sign Out

vr signout

Credentials are stored in ~/.voicerun/:

• Cookie: ~/.voicerun/cookie
• API Key: ~/.voicerun/apikey
• Config: ~/.voicerun/config.json

Global Options

vr --version

Show the installed CLI version and exit.

vr --version
vr -V

---

vr --update

Update the VoiceRun CLI to the latest version from PyPI and refresh all installed skills and MCP server configurations.

vr --update
vr -U

What it does:

1. Upgrades the voicerun-cli package to the latest version via pip
2. Reinstalls skills to the targets selected during vr setup (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw)
3. Refreshes MCP server configuration for the targets selected during vr setup (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)

Only targets that were explicitly chosen during vr setup are updated — no interactive prompts are shown. If vr setup has not been run, the update will skip skills and MCP configuration.

Example:

# Update everything
vr --update

# Short form
vr -U

---

Commands

vr setup

Set up the VoiceRun CLI environment by installing required dependencies.

vr setup

Example:

vr setup

---

vr signin

Sign in to the VoiceRun API.

vr signin

Prompts for authentication method:

1. Web browser (default) - Opens browser for OAuth authentication
2. Email/Password - Enter credentials directly
3. API Key - Use an API key for authentication

Example:

vr signin
# Select authentication method when prompted

---

vr signout

Sign out and clear stored credentials.

vr signout

vr init

Create a new voice agent project from templates.

vr init [PROJECT_NAME]

Options:

Option	Description
--yes, -y	Skip prompts and use defaults
--force, -f	Overwrite existing files
--template, -t	Initialize from a remote template (name or ID)
--var	Template variable as key=value (can be repeated)

Example:

# Interactive mode
vr init

# Non-interactive with project name
vr init my-agent --yes

# Initialize from a remote template
vr init my-agent --template customer-support

# Initialize from template with variables
vr init my-agent -t customer-support --var greeting="Hello" --var language="en"

---

vr validate

Validate project structure and configuration.

vr validate

Options:

Option	Description
--environment, -e	Environment to render templates for
--quiet, -q	Only output errors

Validation Checks:

• handler.py exists and contains async def handler()
• .voicerun/ directory structure is correct
• agent.yaml is valid with required fields
• YAML syntax in all template files
• Deployment spec contains only allowed fields

Example:

# Validate with specific environment
vr validate -e production

# Quiet mode (errors only)
vr validate -q

---

vr pull

Pull agent code from the VoiceRun server to your local machine.

vr pull [AGENT_ID]

Arguments:

Argument	Description
AGENT_ID	Agent ID to pull (not required if inside a voicerun project)

Options:

Option	Description
--output, -o	Output directory (defaults to agent name)
--yes, -y	Skip confirmation prompt

Behavior:

• Inside a voicerun project: Pulls code using the agent ID from agent.lock and overwrites local files
• Outside a voicerun project: Requires an agent ID, creates a new directory with the pulled code and initializes .voicerun/agent.lock

Example:

# Pull inside an existing project
vr pull

# Pull a specific agent into a new directory
vr pull 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

# Pull into a custom directory
vr pull 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 -o ./my-agent

# Skip confirmation
vr pull --yes

---

vr push

Deploy your agent code to the VoiceRun server.

vr push

Options:

Option	Description
--name	Name for the function version
--new, -n	Create a new function version instead of updating
--yes, -y	Skip confirmation prompts

Behavior:

• Validates the project before pushing
• Packages code as a zip archive (excludes .venv, __pycache__, .git, etc. and files matching .vrignore)
• Creates or updates agent.lock with agent and function IDs
• First push creates a new agent; subsequent pushes update the existing version

Example:

# Push with confirmation
vr push

# Push without confirmation
vr push --yes

# Create a new version
vr push --new --name "v2.0"

---

vr deploy

Deploy the latest pushed function version to an environment.

vr deploy <ENVIRONMENT>

Arguments:

Argument	Description
ENVIRONMENT	Target environment name or ID (e.g., development, production). If not specified, you'll be prompted to select.

Options:

Option	Description
--yes, -y	Skip confirmation prompt

Prerequisites:

• Run vr push first to create an agent and generate agent.lock

What it does:

1. Validates the project structure
2. Loads the agent ID and function ID from agent.lock
3. Resolves the target environment
4. Deploys the function version to the environment

Example:

# Deploy interactively (select environment from list)
vr deploy

# Deploy to development environment
vr deploy development

# Deploy to production without confirmation
vr deploy production --yes

---

vr debug

Push local code and launch the Pipeline Debugger — a visual Electron app for real-time agent testing. Can also place outbound phone calls directly from the CLI.

vr debug

Options:

Option	Description
--skip-push, -s	Skip pushing code, use the existing deployment
--environment, -e	Environment name (default: debug)
--headless	Run without GUI (for CI / coding agents). Streams JSONL events to stdout, reads text input from stdin, and exports session JSON on exit
--output, -o	Output file path for headless session JSON (auto-generated if omitted)
--script	Path to a JSON file with scripted messages (array of strings). Each message is sent one-per-turn automatically
--outbound	Place an outbound phone call instead of launching the debugger
--to-phone-number	Destination phone number in E.164 format (required with --outbound)
--from-phone-number	Caller ID / originating phone number in E.164 format (optional)

Prerequisites:

• Node.js must be installed for the debugger (not required for --outbound mode)

What it does:

• Inside a voicerun project: Pushes your local code to the VoiceRun server (unless --skip-push), installs debugger dependencies if needed, and launches the Pipeline Debugger connected to your agent.
• Outside a project: Opens the Pipeline Debugger with no prefilled agent info, so you can connect manually.
• Headless mode: Runs the debugger without a GUI window — streams JSONL events to stdout and accepts text input on stdin (one message per line). Useful for CI pipelines and coding agents.
• Outbound mode: Pushes your code and places an outbound phone call to the specified number. Returns a telephonyCallId for tracking. Does not launch the debugger GUI.

Example:

# Push and debug (inside a project)
vr debug

# Debug without pushing (use existing deployment)
vr debug --skip-push
vr debug -s

# Debug specific environment
vr debug -e staging

# Open the debugger standalone (from any directory)
vr debug

# Headless mode (CI / coding agents)
vr debug --headless
vr debug --headless --output session.json

# Run a scripted conversation
vr debug --script test-messages.json
vr debug --headless --script test-messages.json -o results.json

# Place an outbound phone call
vr debug --outbound --to-phone-number "[phone]"

# Outbound call with caller ID and custom environment
vr debug --outbound --to-phone-number "[phone]" --from-phone-number "[phone]" -e production

# Outbound call without pushing (use existing deployment)
vr debug --outbound --to-phone-number "[phone]" --skip-push

---

vr open

Open the web interface to your deployed agent.

vr open

Requires agent.lock to exist (created after vr push). Opens your default browser to the agent's function page.

---

vr render

Render VoiceRun templates and display the output.

vr render

Options:

Option	Description
--values, -f	Custom values file path
--set, -s	Override values (can be used multiple times)
--output, -o	Output format: yaml (default) or json
--quiet, -q	Only output templates, no validation messages

Example:

# Render with default values
vr render

# Render with specific values file
vr render -f .voicerun/values.yaml

# Override specific values
vr render --set stt.model=deepgram-flux --set environment=production

# Output as JSON
vr render -o json

---

vr test

Run tests for the voice agent project.

vr test

Options:

Option	Description
--environment, -e	Environment to fetch secrets from (e.g., development, production)
--verbose, -v	Run pytest in verbose mode
--coverage, -c	Run with coverage reporting
--skip-install	Skip dependency installation

What it does:

1. Validates project structure
2. Installs project dependencies (unless --skip-install)
3. Optionally fetches secrets from the specified environment
4. Runs pytest with the specified options

Example:

# Run all tests
vr test

# Run specific test file
vr test tests/test_handler.py

# Run tests with development secrets
vr test -e development

# Run with verbose output and coverage

├── handler.py                      # Main agent code (entry point)
├── README.md                       # Project documentation
├── requirements.txt                # Python dependencies
└── .voicerun/                      # Configuration directory
    ├── agent.yaml                  # Agent metadata and configuration
    ├── agent.lock                  # Created after vr push (tracks agent/function IDs)

Templates

agent.yaml

Defines your agent's metadata:

apiVersion: voicerun/v1
name: my-agent
description: "My voice agent description"

handler.py

The main entry point for your agent. Must contain an async def handler() function:

from primfunctions.events import (
    Event, StartEvent, TextEvent, StopEvent, InterruptEvent, TextToSpeechEvent
)
from primfunctions.context import Context

async def handler(event: Event, context: Context):
    if isinstance(event, StartEvent):
        yield TextToSpeechEvent(text="Hello! How can I help you?")
    elif isinstance(event, TextEvent):
        # Handle user speech transcription
        user_text = event.data.get("text", "")
        yield TextToSpeechEvent(text=f"You said: {user_text}")
    elif isinstance(event, StopEvent):
        pass
    elif isinstance(event, InterruptEvent):
        pass

Git Worktrees (Parallel Agent Development)

This repo supports running multiple coding agents in parallel using git worktrees. Each agent gets an isolated working directory with its own branch while sharing the same git object store.

Worktrees are stored in .worktrees/ (gitignored).

Create a worktree

git worktree add .worktrees/feature-xyz -b feature-xyz

List active worktrees

git worktree list

Remove a worktree

git worktree remove .worktrees/feature-xyz

Clean up stale worktrees
