Choose the right Twilio number type and sender BEFORE building. Covers phone numbers (local, toll-free, short code, mobile), alphanumeric sender IDs, WhatsApp senders, RCS agents, international availability, and regulatory bundles. Each number type has its own compliance program — choosing wrong means rebuilding. Use this skill first.
Planning skill that helps the developer pick the right Twilio messaging channel — SMS, MMS, RCS, or WhatsApp — for a given use case. Qualifies intent across content type, geography, use case (marketing / notifications / OTP / support), cost model, and brand presence. Use when the developer asks "which channel should I use", "SMS vs RCS vs WhatsApp", mentions a country or region, asks about branded messaging, rich content, or fallback — and proactively when the developer says "send SMS" or "text" but the use case (rich content, international reach, branded experience, marketing campaign, transactional notification) would benefit from a different or multi-channel approach. Also invoke alongside twilio-marketing-promotions-advisor or twilio-notifications-alerts-advisor whenever the developer has not yet confirmed a specific channel.
