Skill instructions
Telephony — Numbers, Calls, and Texts without Core Tool Changes This optional skill gives Hermes practical phone capabilities while keeping telephony out of the core tool list. It ships with a helper script, scripts/telephony.py, that can: - save provider credentials into ${HERMESHOME:-~/.hermes}/.env - search for and buy a Twilio phone number - remember that owned number for later sessions - send SMS / MMS from the owned number - poll inbound SMS for that number with no webhook server required - make direct Twilio calls using TwiML <Say or <Play - import the owned Twilio number into Vapi - place outbound AI calls through Bland.ai or Vapi What this solves This skill is meant to cover the practical phone tasks users actually want: - outbound calls - texting - owning a reusable agent number - checking messages that arrive to that number later - preserving that number and related IDs between sessions - future-friendly telephony identity for inbound SMS polling and other automations It doe
