Skill instructions
Overview Twilio supports four authentication methods. Choosing the wrong one is a security risk — Auth Tokens in production code are the most common credential leak. | Method | Use for | Token lifetime | Revocable individually | |--------|---------|---------------|----------------------| | Auth Token | Local testing only | Permanent (until rotated) | No — rotation breaks ALL API keys | | API Key + Secret | Production server-side | Permanent (until deleted) | Yes | | OAuth2 Bearer Token | Production server-side (enhanced) | 1 hour | Expires automatically | | Access Token (JWT) | Client-side SDKs (Voice, Video, Chat) | Up to 24 hours | No — delete issuing API key | Decision framework: - Building a quick prototype? → Auth Token (but switch to API Key before deploying) - Production server-side code? → API Key + Secret (simplest production auth) or OAuth2 (time-limited tokens) - Browser/mobile client needs to connect? → Access Token (JWT) generated server-side - Running tests without charge
