feat(skills): add optional telephony skill with Twilio, SMS, and AI calls#1289
Merged
Conversation
Adapt PR #916 onto current main by replacing the old context summary marker with a clearer handoff wrapper, updating the summarization prompt for resume-oriented summaries, and preserving the current call_llm-based compression path.
Follow up on salvaged PR #940 by reusing find_docker() during the new availability check so non-PATH Docker Desktop installs still work. Add a regression test covering the resolved executable path.
Replace sync test usage of asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete() with asyncio.run() so tests do not depend on an ambient current event loop. Also create the email disconnect poll task inside a running loop. This fixes xdist/CI failures where workers have no current loop in MainThread.
# Conflicts: # tests/gateway/test_send_image_file.py
Reformulated from core tool (PR #847 feedback) into a skill with a standalone helper script. No new dependencies — uses only Python stdlib. Two providers supported: - Bland.ai (default): simple setup, one API key - Vapi: flexible, better voice quality via ElevenLabs/Deepgram + Twilio Includes: - SKILL.md with full procedure, safety rules, provider docs, pitfalls - scripts/phone_call.py CLI helper (call, status, diagnose commands)
Follow up on salvaged PR #965 by moving the capability into optional-skills and broadening it from outbound AI calling to a full telephony skill. Add Twilio number provisioning, env/state persistence, SMS/MMS, inbound SMS polling, Vapi import helpers, and a provider decision tree while keeping telephony out of core runtime code.
