More skills from twilio/ai
Migrate an existing OTP / one-time-passcode flow from the Twilio Programmable Messaging API (self-built: generate code → send SMS → validate) to the Twilio Verify API (managed code generation, delivery, expiry, rate limiting, and Fraud Guard). Covers what Verify replaces, creating a Verify Service, replacing send + check logic, E.164 formatting with Lookup, bring-your-own custom codes, error-code translation, and a safe incremental cutover. Use when a developer is moving OTP/2FA delivery off Programmable Messaging onto Verify, or asks "should I use Verify instead of sending my own SMS codes?".
Handle rate limits, retries, and failures when building on Twilio at scale. Covers 429 exponential backoff with jitter, per-number throughput limits, StatusCallback resilience, thin-receiver pattern, and fallback chains. Use this skill whenever sending messages or making calls at volume, or when building production-grade Twilio integrations.
Manage regulatory compliance for international phone numbers. Covers what bundles are, which countries require them, how to create End-Users and Supporting Documents, evaluate and submit bundles, fix evaluation failures, update bundles when regulations change, and ISV multi-account patterns. Use this skill when provisioning numbers outside the US.
Send RCS Business Messages via Twilio. Covers compliance onboarding (7-part US process), sender profile setup, sending rich cards and carousels, SMS fallback, device support (Android + iOS 18 caveats), and common errors. Use this skill when building RCS messaging or onboarding an RCS sender.
Set up and manage Twilio Organizations for centralized account and user governance. Covers the Organization > Account > Subaccount hierarchy, roles (Owner/Admin/Standard), managed vs independent accounts, domain registration, SSO enforcement, SCIM provisioning, and Organization merging. Use this skill when managing multiple Twilio accounts or users across teams.
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 for transactional notifications, alerts, and reminders. Qualifies the developer's needs across urgency, channel selection, delivery confirmation, and fallback patterns to recommend the right Twilio notification architecture. Handles both "send shipping updates to customers" and "build a multi-channel alert system with delivery confirmation and fallback."
Planning skill for marketing and promotional messaging. Use when a developer is figuring out how to set up or architect a marketing campaign on Twilio — channel selection, compliance readiness, audience size, geography, and delivery tracking. Handles open-ended requests like "how do I set up a WhatsApp marketing campaign" or "what's the best way to run promotional SMS." Skip this skill when the developer already knows what they want and is asking for API specs or implementation details.
