twilio-verify-send-otp

Send and verify one-time passcodes (OTPs) via Twilio Verify over SMS, RCS, voice, email, or WhatsApp. Covers creating a Verify Service, sending tokens, checking submitted codes, automatic WhatsApp-to-SMS fallback, and service configuration. TOTP is supported via the Factors API (a separate family from channel-based OTP). Use this skill to add phone or email verification or two-factor authentication to any application.

Quality

Content

85%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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

Dense, assumption-respecting, copy-paste-ready content with strong error handling and a clear lifecycle workflow — its only weakness is verbosity from duplicating trivial calls across both languages and repeating an SMS-equivalent WhatsApp example it flags as identical.

Suggestions

Show each flow in one language and note the other differs only in SDK syntax, instead of duplicating the trivial 3-line send/check calls in both Python and Node.js.

Replace the full WhatsApp send snippet with the single 'channel="whatsapp"' diff, since the body already states the flow is 'identical to SMS'.

Consider extracting the CANNOT list or Debugging error table into a reference file once the skill grows, to keep the Quickstart prominent.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Mostly efficient and table-driven, but the body re-shows identical 3–4 line send/check calls in both Python and Node.js and repeats the full WhatsApp flow that the text itself admits is 'identical to SMS', which is tightening the prose could trim.

2 / 3

Actionability

Fully executable copy-paste Python and Node.js snippets with real parameters, plus a concrete error-code-to-fix table (e.g. '60212 | Service not found | Verify VERIFY_SERVICE_SID is correct').

3 / 3

Workflow Clarity

Sequenced Quickstart (Step 1 create Service → Step 2 send → Step 3 check) with explicit validation of check.status, plus a Debugging feedback loop ('Check here first before writing custom monitoring code') and built-in protection limits.

3 / 3

Progressive Disclosure

No bundle files exist to score against; the body is organized into one-level sections (Quickstart, Key Patterns, Debugging, CANNOT, Next Steps) with sibling-skill links, well within the simple-skill allowance.

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-3

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, third-person description that names concrete actions, enumerates channels, and ends with an explicit Use-when trigger — covering both what the skill does and when to invoke it. It also helpfully disambiguates TOTP as a separate API family to avoid mis-scoping.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Lists multiple concrete actions — 'creating a Verify Service, sending tokens, checking submitted codes, automatic WhatsApp-to-SMS fallback, and service configuration' — matching the 'lists multiple specific concrete actions' anchor.

3 / 3

Completeness

Explicitly answers both what (the Verify lifecycle actions and channels) and when via the explicit 'Use this skill to add phone or email verification or two-factor authentication to any application' trigger clause.

3 / 3

Trigger Term Quality

Uses natural terms users actually say — 'one-time passcodes (OTPs)', 'SMS', 'WhatsApp', 'phone or email verification', 'two-factor authentication' — giving good coverage rather than jargon.

3 / 3

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The Twilio Verify OTP niche is specific and well-bounded by product name and 2FA/OTP triggers, so it is unlikely to be selected for unrelated skills; it even scopes TOTP out of the channel-based flow.
