# Agora (agora.io)

Skill version: 1.2.0

Build real-time communication applications using Agora SDKs across Web, iOS, Android, and server-side platforms.

## Core Concepts

- **App ID**: Project identifier from [Agora Console](https://console.agora.io). Required for all SDK calls.
- **App Certificate**: A unique key generated by the [Agora Console](https://console.agora.io), unique to each project, for use in creating authentication tokens.
- **Token**: Time-limited auth key generated server-side from App ID + App Certificate. Never expose App Certificate on client. For testing, disable token authentication in Agora Console and pass `null` as the token.
- **Channel**: Auto-created when first user joins, destroyed when last leaves. Users in same channel can communicate.
- **UID**: Unique user identifier per channel. Pass `null`/`0` for auto-assignment. Duplicate UIDs cause undefined behavior.

## Products

Read the README for the product the user needs. Only load what is needed.

### RTC (Video/Voice SDK)

Real-time audio and video. Users join channels, publish local tracks, subscribe to remote tracks.

**[references/rtc/README.md](references/rtc/README.md)** — Platforms: Web, React, Next.js, iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter. Windows/Electron/Unity exist but require Level 2 fetch — no inline reference files.

### RTM (Signaling / Messaging)

Text messaging, signaling, presence, and metadata. Independent from RTC — channel namespaces are separate.

**[references/rtm/README.md](references/rtm/README.md)** — Platforms: Web, iOS, Android (all v2). RTM is a client-side SDK — there is no server-side or desktop (Electron/Windows) RTM variant.

### Conversational AI (Voice AI Agents)

REST API-driven voice AI agents. Create agents that join RTC channels and converse with users via speech. Front-end clients connect via RTC+RTM.

**[references/conversational-ai/README.md](references/conversational-ai/README.md)** — Start here for new projects (quickstart repos to clone), REST API, agent config, recipe repos (agent-samples, agent-toolkit, agent-client-toolkit-react, agent-ui-kit, server-custom-llm, server-mcp)

### Cloud Recording

Server-side recording of RTC channel audio/video. REST API only — no client SDK needed.

**[references/cloud-recording/README.md](references/cloud-recording/README.md)**

### Server-Side

Token generation and server utilities. Required for production authentication.

**[references/server/README.md](references/server/README.md)** — Token generation for Node.js, Python, Go

### Server Gateway SDK

Self-hosted Linux SDK for server-side audio/video stream transmission. Use when a server process needs to send or receive media in an Agora RTC channel (call centers, AI audio processing, network testing).

**[references/server-gateway/README.md](references/server-gateway/README.md)** — C++, Java, Go, Python

### Multi-Product Integration

Initialization order, UID strategy, channel naming, token matrix, and cleanup sequence when combining RTC + RTM + ConvoAI.

**[references/integration-patterns.md](references/integration-patterns.md)**

### Testing Guidance

Mocking patterns and testing requirements for Agora SDK integration code.

**[references/testing-guidance/SKILL.md](references/testing-guidance/SKILL.md)**

## Routing

**Clear, product-specific request:** Route directly to the relevant product README.
Do not load `intake/SKILL.md`.

Examples of clear requests:

- "RTC Web video call" → `references/rtc/web.md`
- "ConvoAI Python" → `references/conversational-ai/README.md`
- "Generate RTC token in Go" → `references/server/tokens.md`

**Vague or multi-product request:** Route through `intake/SKILL.md`.
Intake handles product identification, combination recommendations, and routing.

## Documentation Lookup

Check bundled references first (Level 1). If they don't cover the detail needed,
fetch `https://docs.agora.io/en/llms.txt`, find the relevant URL, and fetch it (Level 2).
See [references/doc-fetching.md](references/doc-fetching.md) for the full procedure, fallback URLs, and freeze-forever decision table.

**Always fetch Level 2 before answering questions about**: TTS/ASR/LLM vendor configs, model names, full request/response schemas, error code listings, or release notes. These change frequently — do not answer from training data or memory.

**If MCP is unavailable or Level 2 fetch fails**: use the fallback URLs in `doc-fetching.md` to reach the official markdown docs directly. Never fabricate API parameters — always tell the user to verify against official docs if live fetch is unavailable.

If a user explicitly asks about the Agora MCP server, see [references/mcp-tools.md](references/mcp-tools.md).

## Web Framework Notes

### Next.js / SSR

Agora SDKs are browser-only. See **[references/rtc/nextjs.md](references/rtc/nextjs.md)** for the required dynamic import patterns — `next/dynamic` with `ssr: false` does not work in Next.js 14+ Server Components without extra steps.
