Version History
Added companion skills coordination layer: pre-flight checklist (CLI installed, API key exists, key valid), auto-handoff to telnyx-bot-signup for account creation/signin/key refresh, auto-handoff to telnyx-freemium-upgrade when freemium restrictions are hit, upgrade cache awareness, and fallback messages when companion skills are not installed.
What This Skill Does
Telnyx CLI integration for sending SMS, email, and WhatsApp messages, managing phone numbers, querying call history, and debugging webhooks. All operations authenticate via an API key stored in ~/.config/telnyx/config.json.

When to use it
- Send SMS alerts from cron jobs or automation scripts
- Search and purchase phone numbers by country and area code
- Retry failed webhook deliveries during an incident
- Export call logs to CSV for billing or monthly review
- Check account balance before running a bulk messaging campaign
