Retell AI SDK Patterns

Overview

Production-ready patterns for Retell AI SDK usage in TypeScript and Python.

Prerequisites

  • Completed retellai-install-auth setup
  • Familiarity with async/await patterns
  • Understanding of error handling best practices

Instructions

Step 1: Implement Singleton Pattern (Recommended)

// src/retellai/client.ts
import { RetellAIClient } from '@retellai/sdk';

let instance: RetellAIClient | null = null;

export function getRetell AIClient(): RetellAIClient {
  if (!instance) {
    instance = new RetellAIClient({
      apiKey: process.env.RETELLAI_API_KEY!,
      // Additional options
    });
  }
  return instance;
}

Step 2: Add Error Handling Wrapper

import { Retell AIError } from '@retellai/sdk';

async function safeRetell AICall<T>(
  operation: () => Promise<T>
): Promise<{ data: T | null; error: Error | null }> {
  try {
    const data = await operation();
    return { data, error: null };
  } catch (err) {
    if (err instanceof Retell AIError) {
      console.error({
        code: err.code,
        message: err.message,
      });
    }
    return { data: null, error: err as Error };
  }
}

Step 3: Implement Retry Logic

async function withRetry<T>(
  operation: () => Promise<T>,
  maxRetries = 3,
  backoffMs = 1000
): Promise<T> {
  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
    try {
      return await operation();
    } catch (err) {
      if (attempt === maxRetries) throw err;
      const delay = backoffMs * Math.pow(2, attempt - 1);
      await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Unreachable');
}

Output

  • Type-safe client singleton
  • Robust error handling with structured logging
  • Automatic retry with exponential backoff
  • Runtime validation for API responses

Examples

Factory Pattern (Multi-tenant)

const clients = new Map<string, RetellAIClient>();

export function getClientForTenant(tenantId: string): RetellAIClient {
  if (!clients.has(tenantId)) {
    const apiKey = getTenantApiKey(tenantId);
    clients.set(tenantId, new RetellAIClient({ apiKey }));
  }
  return clients.get(tenantId)!;
}

Python Context Manager

from contextlib import asynccontextmanager
from retellai import RetellAIClient

@asynccontextmanager
async def get_retellai_client():
    client = RetellAIClient()
    try:
        yield client
    finally:
        await client.close()

Zod Validation

import { z } from 'zod';

const retellaiResponseSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string(),
  status: z.enum(['active', 'inactive']),
  createdAt: z.string().datetime(),
});

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
