What Input Branching does

Input Branching routes realtime voice-agent messages using tags like [voice-instruction], [transcript], and [HANDLED]. It is used to choose the correct input path, ignore noisy transcripts, and return NO_REPLY for handled history entries.

Input Branching is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Input Branching comes from a repository tagged agentic-ai, ai-agents, claude-code, embedded and llm.

README

Excerpt

[voice-instruction] Play jazz music on Spotify
[transcript] play some jazz please on spotify

[voice-instruction] — the realtime agent's clean summary of what the user wants. Use this as the primary input.
[transcript] — raw STT transcript. Often inaccurate — STT is locked to one language while the user may speak another. Treat as noisy supplementary context only, never as the source of truth.

Delegated without instruction (fallback)

No tags. Process as a normal voice event.
