Send SMS text messages to phone numbers. An agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills.

  • Works in 3 steps: Gather Info → Send the Message → Confirm Delivery
  • The user asks to send a text
  • SKILL.md covers Setup, Workflow, Response and Constraints, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls python3, curl and npx; reaches api.gooseworks.ai; needs GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

What it does

Send Sms Textbelt is an agent skill from gooseworks-ai/goose-skills. Send SMS text messages to phone numbers. Use when the user asks to send a text, send an SMS, text someone, message a phone number, or send a notification via text message.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `skill.meta.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. The repository describes itself as: Library of Growth & GTM skills + data APIs for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor to run ads, social, content, lead gen, seo and data scraping. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to send a text
  • Message a phone number
  • Send a notification via text message

Example prompts

  • “/send-sms-textbelt”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather Info
  2. Send the Message
  3. Confirm Delivery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c650c6d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • curl
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.gooseworks.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Send Sms Textbelt loads about 733 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~733

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Send Text Message

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Send SMS messages via the Textbelt API on Orthogonal.

Workflow

Step 1: Gather Info

Ask the user for:

  • Phone number (required) - US/Canada: 10-digit with area code. International: E.164 format (e.g., +44...)
  • Message (required) - Max 800 characters. No URLs allowed.
Step 2: Send the Message
bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"textbelt","path":"/text"}'
  "phone": "<phone_number>",
  "message": "<message_text>"
}'
Step 3: Confirm Delivery

The response includes a textId. Use it to check delivery status:

bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"textbelt","path":"/status/{textId}"}'

This endpoint is free.

Response

Send Response (/text)
  • success (boolean) - true if message was queued
  • textId (string) - Message ID for delivery tracking (only on success)
  • quotaRemaining (integer) - Remaining SMS credits
  • error (string) - Error message (only on failure)
Status Response (/status/{textId})
  • status (string) - DELIVERED, SENDING, FAILED, or UNKNOWN

Constraints

  • Max 800 characters per message
  • No URLs in message text
  • Sender name is optional and not visible to the recipient in most countries

Optional Parameters

When sending, you can also include:

  • sender (string) - Business/org name for regulatory purposes
  • replyWebhookUrl (string) - US only: URL to receive reply webhooks
  • webhookData (string) - Extra data passed to webhook (max 100 chars)

Error Handling

  • success: false with error field describes the issue (e.g., invalid phone number, insufficient credits)
  • US/Canada numbers only work from US/Canada IP region
  • International numbers require E.164 format (e.g., +44...)
  • Messages containing URLs are rejected — use descriptions instead
  • Max 800 characters — longer messages are rejected, not truncated
