# list assistants
VAPI_API_KEY=... node skills/vapi/bin/vapi-api.mjs assistants:list
# create assistant
VAPI_API_KEY=... node skills/vapi/bin/vapi-api.mjs assistants:create \
--name "Claw Con Concierge" \
--modelProvider openai --model gpt-4o-mini \
--voiceProvider 11labs --voiceId rachel
# start an outbound call (example shape; see swagger for required fields)

--assistantId asst_xxx \
--to "+14155551234" \
--from "+14155559876"
