# aws-sms-voice Walks a coding agent through AWS End User Messaging: a branded RCS test agent or an OTP text via Notify, then carrier registration. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1600 installs · ★ 3282 - Author: aws - License: Apache-2.0 · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/HEAD/skills/specialized-skills/customer-communications-skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-23 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/aws-sms-voice ## What it does The skill drives `pinpoint-sms-voice-v2` along two short paths. One builds a branded RCS agent — logo, banner, cards, suggested replies — adds verified testers, then sends and receives the first message. The other sets up Notify so a one-time passcode goes out on AWS-managed numbers. No number purchase, no carrier registration. After onboarding comes registration. The skill reads live API definitions to find out which registration type a country needs, then runs one lifecycle: create, derive fields, fill, submit, poll, recover from a denial, resubmit. That same engine covers 10DLC, toll-free, short code, sender ID, RCS country launch and the Notify tier upgrade. You need working AWS credentials. Start with `aws sts get-caller-identity --region ` and scope the policy to the `sms-voice:` actions your path actually uses. RCS test agents reach verified devices only; Notify sticks to AWS-managed OTP templates. A command that answers `Invalid choice` points at a stale local service model rather than missing permissions, so clear the `~/.aws/models/pinpoint-sms-voice-v2/` override or upgrade the CLI. ## Requirements - Works with: AWS ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sms-voice -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/aws-sms-voice/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sms-voice -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sms-voice -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws aws-sms-voice ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sms-voice -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --path skills/specialized-skills/customer-communications-skills/aws-sms-voice ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws --skill aws-sms-voice -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws/tree/HEAD/skills/specialized-skills/customer-communications-skills/aws-sms-voice/SKILL.md ## When to use it - spin up a branded RCS test agent with a logo and banner - send an OTP code through AWS-managed numbers - find out which registration type a country requires - resubmit a registration after a denial - take an identity out of the SMS sandbox ## Example prompts - Create a branded RCS test agent and send the first message to my verified test device. - Set up Notify and send me an OTP code through AWS. - Check what registration a sender ID needs in this country and submit it. ## Source text · SKILL.md · Apache-2.0 Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE d35b4b902dcea780 ```text --- name: aws-sms-voice description: > Onboards RCS Business Messaging and Notify OTP via the pinpoint-sms-voice-v2 AWS CLI. Covers creating a branded RCS test agent (logo, banner, rich cards, suggested replies), adding verified testers, and sending/receiving the first RCS message; and configuring AWS End User Messaging Notify to send one-time-passcode (OTP) verification codes through AWS-managed phone numbers without buying a number or completing carrier registration. Also discovers which registration type a country requires from live API definitions and runs the universal registration lifecycle (create, derive fields, fill, submit, recover from denial, resubmit) shared by 10DLC, toll-free, short code, sender ID, RCS country launch, and Notify tier upgrade. Applicable to RCS agent setup, RCS message send/receive, Notify OTP configuration, verification-code delivery, registration requirements by country, and registration submission.

This skill covers the two fastest onboarding paths — each reaches a real message on a real phone in about five minutes, with no phone-number purchase and no carrier registration: 1. **Create an RCS test agent and send your first branded message** — a branded RCS Business Messaging agent, a verified test device, and a rich outbound + inbound message. See [references/hello-rcs-test-agent.md](references/hello-rcs-test-agent.md). 2. **Send an OTP with Notify** — a one-time-passcode text through AWS-managed sending identities and pre-approved templates. See [references/hello-notify-otp.md](references/hello-notify-otp.md). Beyond onboarding, this skill takes an identity to production registration in three steps: 1. **Find which registration a country requires** — discover the registration type and its live field set for a target country and identity type, reconciled with the official docs. See [references/registration-requirements-by-country.md](references/registration-requirements-by-country.md). 2. **Run the registration lifecycle** — the universal engine (create, derive fields, ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE d35b4b902dcea780 The third-party file has ended.
