dial-cli

Reference for the `dial` CLI — gives you a real phone number to send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive inbound texts/codes via the Dial platform (getdial.ai). Use when the user mentions phones, calls, texts, SMS, voice, OTP, 2FA, or verification codes; when they ask to text, call, ring, or wait for a code from someone; before running any `dial …` command for the first time in a session; or when investigating what the Dial platform can do. Load this skill before invoking the CLI — `dial --help` alone will not surface the workflows, the `--json` conventions, or the docs-lookup pattern needed to use Dial correctly.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, executable reference skill: concrete commands, clear validation/feedback loops, and clean one-level-deep docs links. Only minor conciseness trims would move it from 4 to 5 on that single dimension.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Conciseness	Largely lean with signpost one-liners and links rather than inlined detail, but a few sections (the sandbox framing, the --from-number caveat) carry mild over-explanation that could be trimmed, fitting the score-4 efficient-with-minor-instances anchor rather than the fully-lean score-5.	4 / 5
Actionability	Copy-paste-ready commands throughout (e.g. `dial message --to +14155550123 --body "..."`, `dial wait-for message.received -f channel=sms`) plus concrete curl patterns for docs lookup, matching the score-5 fully-executable anchor covering common cases.	5 / 5
Workflow Clarity	Sequencing is clear for common cases (call then `dial call get <id>`, purchase then poll `dial number list`) and includes explicit validation (E.164 reject before calling) and feedback loops (auth-fail stop-and-wait, list-before-retry on ambiguous write failures), matching the score-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Progressive Disclosure	The body acts as a concise overview that links out one level deep to docs.getdial.ai .md companions with well-signaled navigation and no nested indirection, matching the score-5 clear-overview anchor; no bundle files exist to verify beyond the body.	5 / 5

Description

95%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong, comprehensive description that clearly states capabilities and gives rich natural trigger terms with a distinct niche. The only issue is second-person voice, which costs one specificity point per the guidelines.

Dimension	Reasoning	Score
Specificity	Lists multiple concrete actions ("send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive inbound texts/codes") with comprehensive coverage, matching the score-5 anchor; docked one point because the description uses second person ("gives you a real phone number", "Use when"), which the guidelines penalize.	4 / 5
Completeness	Explicitly answers both what ("gives you a real phone number to send SMS, place AI voice calls, and receive inbound texts/codes") and when ("Use when the user mentions ..."), with concrete trigger phrases as in the score-5 anchor.	5 / 5
Trigger Term Quality	Comprehensive natural-term coverage with synonyms ("phones, calls, texts, SMS, voice, OTP, 2FA, or verification codes" plus "text, call, ring, or wait for a code"), matching the score-5 anchor including synonyms and variants.	5 / 5
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk	The Dial phone/SMS/voice niche has distinct triggers (OTP, 2FA, voice calls, verification codes) and minimal overlap risk with other skills, matching the score-5 clear-niche anchor.	5 / 5
	Total	19 / 20 Passed
